"Touch of Water," from Uncaged, volume 2

I solo played “Touch of Water” last night. It’s a good representation of the adventures in the Uncaged series.1

Claude did a good job adapting it my campaign setting and evolving the story. The rusalka is a good monster - it’d make a good Eryines-like creature for Auril the Frostmaiden. You can recast Auril regionally, call her Marzanna or the like, and then have a little frosty pantheon.

The story never resolves what happened to the drowned four year old boy that starts the adventure. An odd omission for a collection of adventures that are usually tightly sewed up by the end.

Here is one of ChatGTP’s interpretations the rusalka.

A ghostly figure with long, dark hair and white eyes sits on a rocky shore under a moody sky.

  1. On October 28th, 2025, the five volume set of Uncaged is priced at $12.77. That is a very good deal for ~900 pages of D&D oneshot adventures. ↩︎
