Horror in the Dock Ward: Family Devoured by Ooze
A tragic scene unfolded in the Dock Ward as a young halfling girl awoke to a nightmare—her entire family devoured by a deadly ooze that invaded their home in the dead of night. The child, now in the care of a local orphanage, was the sole survivor, narrowly escaping the horror that claimed her parents and siblings.
The creature is believed to have emerged from a hidden tunnel in the family’s basement, an entryway to an underground system still being investigated by the City Watch. Neighbors described hearing strange noises but never imagined the extent of the terror lurking below.
The Dock Ward has seen its fair share of danger, but this incident has left the community in shock. Questions remain as to how such a creature could have infiltrated the home unnoticed, and whether more such horrors wait in the shadows beneath Waterdeep.
