Adventure synopsis
By saving a local priest, the newly arrived group finds out that a number of the citizens of Cauldron have been kidnapped in the last 3 months. The priest is most concerned about orphans that have been recently taken. The group's investigations allow them to investigate the orphanage and possibly meet up with other rescuers. Eventually, clues lead them to a "supposedly abandoned" underground gnomish city. There they find denizens of the Underdark and a dwarven guard post that has been taken over by a slave trader. When the group finds the main slave bazaar, a beholder appears and rescues one of the orphans. It then disappears, leaving the group to fight the slave trader.
