[QUOTE="Clueless, post: 2814287, member: 11802"] Fly spells and/or mass fly wand - you will *need* it for caving since there may be drop offs of 300 ft or more, or sheer cliffs to climb to get to the next cave. You probably want to bring rope, harness, etc gear in case you run out of fly spells. Bring a water source. Bring a food source. (Usually a cleric will suffice.)

You *will* be dirty and grimy. And you will *not* want to be streaked with dust, gunk, mud, etc if you have to be social with any residents down there. (Also cuts down on infection rates for the inevitable scrapes and bruises ;) ) I would also suggest a wand on infravision instead of everburning torches. The infravision won't call attention to you like the light will. Most importantly - caves are disorrienting. Bring a map. Bring a compass or *something* magical for guidance.
