SEA LION
A sea lion is a fearsome monster with the head and
forepaws of a lion and the lower body and tail of a fish.
Adventurers who delve beneath White Plume Mountain
might discover a group of these creatures confined in a
watery cage.

SHARWYN HUCRELE
A young adventurer whose group ran afoul of a band of
goblins, Sharwyn Hucrele now finds herself enslaved
deep inside the Sunless Citadel, an unwitting suppli-
cant of the Gulthias Tree. The corrupting influence has
turned her skin thick and rough, as though she were af-
fected by a barkskin spell, and has turned the normally
good-aligned Sharwyn into an evil adversary.
