Teleporting in the Underdark
The Underdark is suffused with a magical radiation that the Drow call Faerzress.
Ki'Willis, Narcelia, Carcelon, Krecil, and Quertus understand what the practical effects of Faerzress are.
1) Faerzress interferes with scrying and divination magics (-4 to scry checks).
2) Faerzress interferes with teleportation magic. Spells such as Teleport, Word of Recall, Refuge, and even Teleport Without Error fail more often in the Underdark than they do in the surface world. Anytime you want to teleport more than a mile though the Underdark, there is a severe risk of failure. Portals and Teleportation circles do not suffer the risk of failure, but Faerzress limits their placement to certain locations.
Spells like Teleport are great for use inside of a Drow city such as Menzoberanzan, but are never used to travel to other Drow cities.
Faerzress does not affect locations close to the surface. For example, Mithril Hall is not affected by Faerzress.

For posting out of character stuff in the main thread, I'm going to play that by ear. I'm a pretty flexible gm.
I have downloaded a copy of all of the character sheets, so if its just a skill check, you can just list the skill in describing your actions (i.e. I'm moving silently and hiding to avoid being noticed by the sentries). You don't have to give me particular numbers. Likewise, you don't have to say moving full speed, half speed, double move, etc. In your text description, I'll figure that out based on whether you are running, walking, sneaking, etc.
If we get to a complex situation that has multiple numbers involved, we can use posts in this thread (the OOC thread). Likewise, I'm going to post level ups in this thread, game mechanics, and so forth.
When we start doing life and death combat situations, I'll post the numbers in this thread and the IC stuff in the other thread. i.e. If a Frost Giant criticals a PC, I'll write in this thread that character A was critical hitted for 87 points of damage and the Frost Giant cleaves into character B... In the IC thread, I'll write that the Huge Giant swung his axe so hard that it chopped off character A's head and the followthrough slammed into character B.

Underdark Flavor
If any of our spell casters want their spells to have more of an underdark flavor, that is perfectly fine.
A good example: using a mount or phantom steed spell, but instead of a horse showing up, a spider or a riding lizard is summoned/created.
Another example would be using a Summon Monster spell to summon a spider even if a spider isn't listed as a choice. etc.

Leveling, Character Advancement, etc.
One more comment on leveling and experience points. If the characters survive the whole adventure, they will gain several levels. Level 20 is potentially obtainable.
Lolth isn't known for granting Raise Dead and Resurrection spells to her clerics. So, if a character dies in battle, that PC is unlikely to be returned to life unless you find a staff of resurrection or some other magic item that can raise the dead (or a cleric of another deity that is willing to raise you from the dead). However, Lolth is known for creating undead out of dead drow (Zin Carla, etc.). So its possible that a deceased PC might be returned as a templated undead, either through a ritual like Zin Carla or through a spell (either memorized or on a scroll).
Characters favored by Lolth might even be transformed into "outsider" servants in the demon web after they die (Yochols, etc.).
Characters that are not in Lolth's favor may suffer misfortune and calamities (if and when the silence ends).
This story is not meant to be a linear sequence of encounters from a module. The story is meant to grow out of the actions of the characters.
