Shard of Maphrok
Maphrok Jungle is a dimensional plane that is connected to Lut's Tavern. Years ago, an anonymous set of chambers could be found high up in a mountain, accessed through the caldera of an active volcano. Served by a throng of kobolds, Tuckerthranx the Red called this caldera home. Home, that is, until a group of adventurers slew the fearsome dragon. During the fight to rid the land of this avaricious drake, the entire mountain collapsed. However, sustained by its magic, the lair teleported itself into the Maphrok jungle, where it laid dormant until an enterprising young biomancer - Dr. Francis Norman Stein - travelled to the dimenson and made it his laboratory.
The local populations of gnomes, elves, and lizardfolk grew irksome after several of the prolific biomancer's creations escaped. In a rare display of unanimity, they decided to politely ask him to leave. When their request fell on deaf ears, pitchfork and flaming torches soon followed, and Maphrok Jungle was rid of Dr. Stein's biomantic menaces for a time.
The ultimate product of this research was Mut-X, a biomantic mutagen capable of rapidly adapting flesh to hostile enviornments. The substance slowly seeped out of its storage tanks, causing unsuspecting creatures to become unwilling participants in Dr. Stein's experiements. A primitive, dungeon-dwelling ooze known as a gelatinous cube was exposed to Mut-x, spawing a whole subspecies of polyhedroozes'.
More recently, when a enterprising group of goblins exploring the jungle found the vacant lair, and called it The Big Bad Base. A family-run affair, the Frockkit Clan were specialist dungeon builders. Their current client, a mysterious figure known only as Murdob'norab, was prepared to purchase a fully kitted-out dungeon. However, en route to delivering treasure to a secure vault within the base, the goblins were ambushed by a colossal ooze they refer to as The Motherload and the treasure was stolen.
During the events of Session 001 - Polyhedrooze, a group of heroes travelled to the dimensional plane by a door in Lut's Tavern. They allied themselves with the goblins and eventually defeated The Motherload. After these events, the goblins spent time learning from Dr. Francis Norman Stein and eventually mastered biomancy magic.
