Social — Greta Saltwind – Whispers Beneath The Waters

Social — Greta Saltwind

NPC: Greta Saltwind

Role: Tavern keeper, information source, quest giver

Greta is a weathered woman in her sixties, her eyes shadowed by sleepless nights. She has been hearing the whispers for weeks — at first faint, now constant. She offers the party food, drink, and a desperate plea for help.

What She Knows:

Fisherfolk have been disappearing from the lake
Some return, but they are "changed" — blank-eyed, murmuring about "the depths"
The yuan-ti have been seen more frequently in the Lhespenbog
Old Tharn, a fisherman, claims to have seen "a face beneath the water"

Reward: Information, supplies, and a potential base of operations.

"You're not from here. I can tell by the way you walk — like you're not afraid of the water yet. That'll change."

"First it was Tharn. He started muttering about 'voices from the deep.' We thought he'd lost his mind. Then the fisherfolk started vanishing. Some came back. But they weren't the same. They just sit and stare at the lake, whispering to themselves."

"The yuan-ti are moving. More than usual. They're digging in the bog, digging in the Wyrmbones. Looking for something. I don't know what, but I know it's connected to the whispers."

"I need someone to find out what's happening. Before we all drown in madness."
