Years after the eruption of Mount Hotenow, the city of Neverwinter continues to rebuild itself after the destruction wrought by that event. Loggers have set up camps along the river that flows out of Neverwinter Wood, using the river to transport logs to the city. One particularly successful camp, located on the south side of the river, is run by a Tibor Wester, the half-brother of Phandalin's townmaster, Harbin Wester. Tibor employs skilled loggers to find the best trees, chop them down, and haul them back to the camp to be sent downriver. He gets his supplies from Phandalin so that he doesn’t have to pay the outlandish “devastation tax” that Neverwinter applies on essential goods. The challenge lies in getting the supplies safely through Neverwinter Wood.
