Here we have a quest given by Gimble's Inc. They offer loans to people and in my games said loans often come with high costs. They are a good group to throw into a campaign to offer a possible solution to a parties problems. Of course that's if they are willing to accept the costs! I left much of the information up to you so go ahead and throw this in if you need something to keep the party entertained or give your party a valuable ally! Thank you for listening and be safe adventurer but of course, not too safe!

The Aboleth is a bit of a staple in TTRPGs especially DnD 5e. That being said I typically see the Aboleth being used as a one off encounter for the party to typically find a way to escape from. Now that is in no way wrong but the Aboleth can be so much more grand than that. You could quit literally build an entire campaign around the Aboleth. In the age before gods the Aboleth ruled over the seas like they themselves were actual gods. They were immensely powerful and had people worship them. During the age of the gods the ACTUAL gods saw them as a threat and killed them off, the only problem is Aboleths can't actually die. If their body dies their soul returns to their natural home on the Elemental Plane of Water where they grow a new body. The Aboleth has multiple lair actions and contort the area around their lair. They can telepathically speak to people and read their thoughts promising rewards that are catered to the victim and even make them believe they received said rewards after doing its bidding. The Aboleth is an incredible Lovecraftian esc monster that can add some incredible depth and story to a campaign. Thank you for listening and be safe adventurers, but of course, not too safe.

The Ankheg is a rather low leveled beast. At CR 2 it is a decent monster to throw at a lower level party. The are basically giant insects with massive hooks at the end of their arms and gnarly looking mandibles. They like to burrow their way deep underground providing an interesting encounter setting for your party. They stay underground mostly as they get a majority of their sustenance from soil but do need to come up and consume flesh from time to time. Their eating habit makes farmlands and plains an Ideal hunting ground for the Ankheg. Now it is a lower level monster but I mean bugs are bugs and typically have colonies right? Imagine throwing a mid to higher level party up against an entire colony of Ankheg having to fight their way through a labyrinth of underground passage ways as they try to find and defeat the queen! There would be some homebrew necessary but it could be epic. Either way the possibilities are plenty! Thank you for listening! Be safe adventurers, but of course, not too safe.
