What Has Come Before
To save a ward of the Mudsitters District from a vile, corrupting toxin, the Dark City heroes have ventured to the subterrean wilderness of the Southern Arc. There they seek the lair of a dark naga, who's tongue is needed to create the antidote that the Mudsitters to need. One of their number, their dwarven guide Thargo Stoneshield, has already fallen on the expedition and they now stand at the door to the naga's inner sanctum.
