Rumors abound of a snake-like "thing" in the sewers under the castle. A chilling, sinister voice is sometimes heard echoing from the dungeons late at night, speaking an unknown, demonic tongue.  Meanwhile, the baron's behavior becomes more bizarre. He begins arresting innocent people, raiding the keeps of other barons and dukes and raising taxes to a slavish height. He even begins hiring adventurers and sending them off to remote regions on secret missions.   The sooner the characters get to the bottom of things, the better. The baron is likely to start a local war with his antics, if not a peasant-revolt first. And there is no telling what he sent those adventurers off to find.  Somehow, the characters must discover that a Water Naga has taken up residence in the flooded caverns under the castle. It has used enchantment spells (geas, charm, etc) to control the baron for its own purposes.Confronting and killing the Naga requires getting past the baron and all his men, the castle's defenses, the Naga's traps and defenses and fighting the creature in deep, murky water.</blockquote>
