[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 9505180, member: 27780"] First time in a while every single player was present. I actually got to do a decent amount of prep this time, so while the core of this underdark area is based on [URL='http://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/polyhedron-dungeon.861315/post-23874276']Thunder Under Needlespire[/URL], the multiple unmapped tunnels leading off that map now connect to other adventures or Maps of Mystery. Since only some of the party members have darkvision, the two sneakiest party members went ahead of the others. They passed several turning points before coming to a junction seeded with Shriekers, which they managed to detect before setting off. They weren't quite so stealthy on the other side, with the noise they made attracting the attention of a deep gnome patrol, but with the help of invisibility and flight, they managed to hide on the ceiling until the gnomes went past them before unleashing sneak attacky death. Continuing down the tunnel, they managed to spot the secret door to the svirfneblin mines, but since the tunnel was gnome sized, our enlarged party member couldn't fit through. The two stealthy party members went on ahead again, coming out in the gnome fungus gardens, while the other 4 looked for a larger way in.
