History
Ghoulmaster was a sinister intelligent ghoul that worshiped Lolth the Queen of Spiders in the mid–14 century DR. The dark goddess entrusted him with a strange artifact, a part of what appeared to be a stone spider and tasked the ghoul necromancer with orchestrating attacks on the Lords of Waterdeep. Ghoulmaster discovered an old Shrine of Myrkul within the ancient crypt of the Cassalanter family one the Dungeon Level of Undermountain. Corrupting the shrine, Ghoulmaster raised the dead of Waterdeep's noble houses and sent them out to attack the citizens of Waterdeep. The power of the stone spider artifact not only raised and enthralled the dead but also bound their souls to the undead bodies, causing them unspeakable suffering.

The lone hero recruited by Khelben Arunsun and the Lords of Waterdeep to stop recent kobold attacks on the city was tasked with cleansing the Cassalanter family crypt after a skeleton wearing the family's crest was seen attacking Waterdhavians. The adventurer was able to slay the undead, destroy Ghoulmaster, and recover the Lolth's artifact. Cassalanter family generously rewarded the hero for securing the crypt once again.
