Here we have a quest given by Gimble's Inc. They offer loans to people and in my games said loans often come with high costs. They are a good group to throw into a campaign to offer a possible solution to a parties problems. Of course that's if they are willing to accept the costs! I left much of the information up to you so go ahead and throw this in if you need something to keep the party entertained or give your party a valuable ally! Thank you for listening and be safe adventurer but of course, not too safe!

The Aboleth is a bit of a staple in TTRPGs especially DnD 5e. That being said I typically see the Aboleth being used as a one off encounter for the party to typically find a way to escape from. Now that is in no way wrong but the Aboleth can be so much more grand than that. You could quit literally build an entire campaign around the Aboleth. In the age before gods the Aboleth ruled over the seas like they themselves were actual gods. They were immensely powerful and had people worship them. During the age of the gods the ACTUAL gods saw them as a threat and killed them off, the only problem is Aboleths can't actually die. If their body dies their soul returns to their natural home on the Elemental Plane of Water where they grow a new body. The Aboleth has multiple lair actions and contort the area around their lair. They can telepathically speak to people and read their thoughts promising rewards that are catered to the victim and even make them believe they received said rewards after doing its bidding. The Aboleth is an incredible Lovecraftian esc monster that can add some incredible depth and story to a campaign. Thank you for listening and be safe adventurers, but of course, not too safe.

The Ankheg is a rather low leveled beast. At CR 2 it is a decent monster to throw at a lower level party. The are basically giant insects with massive hooks at the end of their arms and gnarly looking mandibles. They like to burrow their way deep underground providing an interesting encounter setting for your party. They stay underground mostly as they get a majority of their sustenance from soil but do need to come up and consume flesh from time to time. Their eating habit makes farmlands and plains an Ideal hunting ground for the Ankheg. Now it is a lower level monster but I mean bugs are bugs and typically have colonies right? Imagine throwing a mid to higher level party up against an entire colony of Ankheg having to fight their way through a labyrinth of underground passage ways as they try to find and defeat the queen! There would be some homebrew necessary but it could be epic. Either way the possibilities are plenty! Thank you for listening! Be safe adventurers, but of course, not too safe.

The Grell is a beast found in the underdark. They typically stay together and although they can't see they have incredible senses of hearing and can track vibrations extremely well. They would be a good encounter for a party to explore more creative ways of escape aside from "I hit it with a hammer". The Grell may be a brain but they are not related to or used my mindflayers at all, of course you could always change that if you wished. This episode would be a good way to kick off an underdark campaign or give reason for your party to traverse the underdark for whatever reason. I left the actual item they're looking for and subsequent reward up to you. Thank you for listening and stay safe adventurers!!

Today we are given a story that in the end leaves us with more questions than answers (that was intentional). The old man wasn't clear on what he saw and didn't give enough detail to readily figure out what it is but with some investigation and tracking our party would learn that the huge creature being fed by the bullywugs indeed a froghemoth. The froghemoth is a rather interesting creature because of the adventure and investigations it could bring to your party. The froghemoth leaves open a few possibilities that would be so fun to entertain as a dungeon master / game master and would also be really fun for the party to RP. First off the froghemoth is a creature driven purely by hunger, so according to Volo's it can be tamed rather easily if offered food. This does mean however, if the party manages to tame the froghemoth they would have to be very careful to never run out of food otherwise this monster would throw a tantrum bigger than the tantrums  of my children when I say "no you can not jump off the top bunk onto hardwood floor" (and just think the froghemoth isn't even as smart as a young child) and with a CR 10 this tantrum could very easily be deadly to a party. This would be a fun situation for both sides of the table. My second idea came from Volo's, it says that the froghemoth will lay eggs on its own and cares nothing for the eggs it lays so I thought..... LET THE PARTY FIND AN EGG!! We all know players go gaga over eggs. Personally I would make it possible (big emphasis on POSSIBLE) not necessarily easy, for the party to turn big boy into a pet after hatching. Volo's states that they grow to full size in a matter of months but I would just determine how string you are okay with it getting (if they keep it as a pet) and just let it grow to that point over the course of the campaign. Like I said some really fun stories could be made with this guy for both DM / GM and players alike! Thank you for listening and be safe adventurer!
