The Fall
  The day of the Catastrophe dawned bright and balmy. My
little Wooble-kin were out doing their daily chores: picking
nuts, tending the sheep, and laughing merrily along.
I'd had a sense of foreboding since I awoke... It very
quickly realized itself into danger.
  The incident was swift. Of a sudden, a heavy black mist
rose from the ground in a line far outside the village. The
ground began to shake, and my little Wooble-kin started to
scream. I called for calm, but to no avail. With frightening
speed, the quaking shook the ground apart. Crackles of black
lightning reached skywards amidst the village. Parts of the
ground actually started to fall through into an unknown
abyss below. I could hear splashes.
  In a very short time, the entire village and surrounding
greenery had collapsed into an underground sea, now
surrounded by towering cliffs and a few small beaches.

The Attack
  I had been standing near the edge of the village at the
time, waiting for a messenger from a traveling friend. I
was spared demise, and instead, now suffer an anguish
unimaginable. A turtle saved me, clamping on to my pants
and dragging me through the water to safety. All the while
I watched in horror.
  As soon as the village had collapsed into the realm of
what I now know to be the evil Sea Snakes, they swarmed
my little Wooble-kin, rending them limb from limb. It was a
horrible sight to behold. There was blood everywhere!
And there was nothing I could do... But I do hold, in my
heart, that some of my little Wooble-kin survived.

Fleeing Responsibility
  I could not bear to be in the area anymore. My mind had
been run ragged, my emotions destroyed. It was time to
strike out into the world, and begin a new Life.
  I'd always been fairly curious about advertising, to be
perfectly honest. I thought I would try my hand at making
pamphlets and spreading news and good cheer to the masses.
But I could not pull my mind from the dark depths into
which it had been thrust. I could not forget the sight of my
little Wooble-kin being crushed, butchered, and maimed.
  My business failed horribly. Nobody wanted to read about
the morbid goings-on of a small backwater midget village, it
seemed. There was nothing I could do.

Facing Reality
  I had to go back. It was as simple as that. I still knew,
in my heart, that some of my little Wooble-kin had to be alive.
I had to do my best to rescue them. I was their Father.
Their Guardian. Their Caregiver. Their Grand Daddy Wooble.
  So back I went. Long and hard I toiled, gaining the good
graces of the local animals, letting them get to know me, and
hoping they would help me. My magic, I felt, would be
strong enough, with righteousness behind it, to rescue any of
my little Wooble-kin who had survived their ordeal this long.

Accepting Fate
  I failed. The Sea Snakes laughed at me, toyed with me.
By the time I made it to their King and their Mage, (no
doubt, I see now, only because they let me) I was spent, and
could do little. I made it away with my life only narrowly.
  I realized that I would need help. So to this day, I wait
here, on this beach, for a kind adventurer to offer to help
me rescue my little Wooble-kin. Will you be the one?
  If so... Please, get my attention by speaking my need. Speak
the need of my little Wooble-kin.

Navigation
  All in all, the layout of the newly formed sea is fairly
simple. I have made my camp on the south-eastern beach of
the sea. Most of the underwater realm is impassable, as the
plantlife grows far too thickly. In the deepest part,
however, you can traverse a path to a large glowing rock. At
its base is a small crack through which you can crawl, with
a bit of squirming. Past that is a coral reef, where the Sea
Snakes have made their home. It borders right on the far
cliffs of the sea. They have tunneled into the cliffs to
form their palace, and it is there you will find the King
and their Mage.

Inhabitants
  Here on the beach, and above on the cliff, life is
relatively normal, despite that there simply was no beach or
cliff here before at all.
  The first portion of the underwater realm is inhabited
by the sort of things you would expect to inhabit a sea.
Fish, eels, anemones, crabs; all can be found here. I suspect
the Sea Snakes leave them be to promote a sense of normalcy
on the unsuspecting diver.
  Past the rock, the Sea Snakes have taken over wholesale.
They vary in size, ferocity, and cunning, but they are,
without exception, all evil and all dangerous. Some, however,
given the proper attention or gifts, may be given to provide
information.

Awareness
  There is nothing more important to know than to be aware
of your surroundings. Always keep an eye out for things that
stand out as abnormal. Sometimes, even things that may seem
normal, but are noteworthy in their location, are worth an extra
look at.
