Vaidun's Island

The building on this islet originally served as the home of Dretha’s apprentice, a Drow named Vaidun Magmenor. Vaidun no longer lives here, but he still serves Dretha in the chambers deep below.

## Muckytoes Residence

> This study features several bookshelves, a desk, and two chairs. The books and objects here lie in disarray with torn pages strewn haphazardly cross the room.

Vaidun once pursued his studies and met with Dretha for lessons in this room. Today, a mischievous Brownie named Muckytoes—a puckish fey whose blonde hair stays in a constant state of frizzy disarray on his head—occupies this chamber. Despite his comical appearance, Muckytoes fancies himself something of a spooky sort of fey. He claims to be a dangerous “wispy-ghost” named “Spookywisp.” .

Muckytoes arrived here only a few days ago, but he made short work ripping through the room’s contents before finding nothing of interest here. He moved on toward the Lens Workshop; there, the shiny spyglass entranced him before the Soulbound Doll that guarded it chased him off. Faced with an actually scary creature, Muckytoes retreated to this room to plot methods of securing the “shiny” for himself. The heroes gave him that method.

## Repair Storage

> Shelves laden with tools, lumber, and planks line the walls of this 10-foot-square room.

These supplies were used for upkeep throughout the upper works of the Fen Watchtower. Vaidun formerly functioned as a groundskeeper and managed repairs, and he often called upon Dretha’s other servants as needed for these jobs.

## Stairwell

Moss and fungus coats these stairs, which lead down to the next Level. From the state of the growth, clearly, no one has gone this way for a long time.

## Hall of Portraits

> A series of four tall paintings hang on the northwestern wall of this hallway, although layers of mold and decay have severely damaged them.

The 5-foot-tall paintings along the wall have sustained irrevocable damage over time and due to moisture dripping down from leaks in the roof above. The first portrait depicts the city of Uzrush in flames with ghosts rising from its streets. It bears a bronze plaque that reads, “So Shall the Fools Suffer.”

The second portrait depicts the Fen Watchtower as it appeared before its upper floors collapsed, and its lighthouse emitting a pale blue light in which ghostly faces sneer and grimace. Its bronze plaque reads, “Let the Light Shine Forever.”

The third portrait, now shredded. Its plaque reads, “The Artist at Work.”

The fourth and final portrait depicts a smirking woman dressed in a long, green gown—an image of Dretha herself. Its plaque reads, “The Lady of the Light.” Long ago, Vaidun scratched the following sentences, written in Aklo, into the stone next to this last painting: “I serve you still! You shall be avenged!”

## Lens Workshop

> This once elegant workshop has fallen into shambles. Soggy strings of dripping moss hang through cracks in the wooden domed roof above. Below it, a carpet of broken glass glitters dangerously. Workbenches and shelves, armatures and displays—all formerly used in crafting or repairing immense lenses for the Watchtower—lie in ruins. Only a bejeweled spyglass sitting on a display rack near the southern wall has survived the devastation.

Vaidun caused most of this destruction. After Dretha’s death, he hid in the swamp while he waited for the Founder's to leave. When he returned, he was filled with such guilt over his cowardice that he destroyed this workshop in a fit of fury.

The layer of broken glass and shattered materials covering the floor makes it uneven ground with an Acrobatics DC of 11. A creature who falls prone in this room takes 1 piercing damage.

Vaidun created several constructs to aid him and his mistress in their day-to-day jobs, but the raven-headed, raven-winged Soulbound Doll he called Mister Beak was his favorite. Neither the most powerful nor the most helpful, Mister Beak held the soul of his devoted servant, a goblin named Borbo, a fact that ensured the construct’s place at Vaidun’s side. Mister Beak remained abandoned here, waiting forever for a creator who moved on to other tasks and an entirely new body. Mister Beak didn't lose hope, and when the Salty Crackers arrived, he stood up from the slumped mound in the room’s center and asked in a warbling voice, “Is Master Magmenor coming back?” Attacking the band until he was destroyed.

## Old Pier

> This old wooden pier has partially collapsed into the swamp, and the portion remaining above water looks ready to follow the rest at the slightest touch.

The pier is just as dangerous as it looks; anyone stepping onto it causes the entire pier to give way and fall into the 3 feet of water beneath it. The sucking mud beneath it is greater difficult terrain.
