Magical Minotaur Mayhem!

Seismic activity began several days ago in the vicinity of Wehntoph. A scout that was present for the phenomenon contacted the locals of Wehnimer's Landing, seeking their assistance. The brave adventurers traveled to the mountain and discovered that the pathway to the minotaur labyrinth there was blocked off. With aid of a scrying bowl, they were able to view events unfolding in the minotaurs' Great Hall.

There, a number of minotaur magi participated in a ceremony headed by their evident leader, Sulldina. They summoned the spirit of the minotaur warrior-king Tordaak. At Sulldina's request, Tordaak bestowed upon her tribe a blessing before departing.

Since this strange ceremony, the power of the minotaurs has grown. They have spread into the Krag Slopes, eager to test their burgeoning strength, but have been stymied by krag dwellers and yetis that appear, strangely, to match their newfound power. Perhaps Tordaak's blessing has strengthened his people even as it provides them a new, terrible challenge.
