                        STORY BACKGROUND

Dear Adventurers,

  It is my sincere hope that you receive this package beforeyou begin your
quest into the sewers beneath Waterdeep.This package contains notes found
on a drow spy thatcould help you on your journey.

 The spy was captured two nights ago by Oltec, Captain of the Guard. Under
interrogation, the drow revealed a disturbing plan. He claimed to be
working for a being named Xanathar. The spy claimed that Xanathar is an
evil crime lord that inhabits the deepest part of the sewer system.

 Supposedly, Xanathar magically teleported this drow into the city to spy
on the Lords of Waterdeep. Xanathar did not have the capability to teleport
the spy back into his underworld and so gave the spy this package of
information to make the trip back underground safer.

 This package includes a map of some of the tunnels and cavevns beneath
Waterdeep. It also includes several sets of notes that point out traps and
monsters to be avoided and items that might be useful on the trek.

 Use the information in this package wisely. It may be the advantage you
need to defeat this wretched villain, Xanathar.
