[MENTION=6981164]Scott Graves[/MENTION] if you're looking for a side quest other than the obvious, one of the random encounters in the Mere of the Dead Men includes a Yuan-ti Hunting Party seeking suitable victims to sacrifice to their long-slumbering deity. You could build on their existence within the Mere. Perhaps the lizardfolk don't dare venture deep within the Mere due to the return of the [URL="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Penanggalan"]Penanggalan[/URL], a rather exotic undead. (Supposedly exist in the Mere according to the wiki). Build on the fact that this type of creature possesses several lairs...each one with its own physical challenges (sunken water-clogged mausoleum, the hollowed out corpse of a huge shambling mound, a spire-formation within a crocodile infested river, an area of enchanted quicksand that leads to an underground dungeon..etc) Another option, a hunting party of lizardfolk find one of the dreaded Rings of Myrkul in the belly of a crocodile which had been lost within the swamp...one of the lizardmen place the ring on their finger and become possessed by the spirit of its previous wearer...and undead start plaguing the PCs at all times of the day. The lizardfolk start beginning to believe that the PCs have been cursed and any alliance between the two starts unravelling.
