[QUOTE="mcbobbo, post: 6410208, member: 6680581"] Given your 'trapped in not-Underdark cavern on short time table and cannot leave' constraint, I'd suggest you try one of these three options: 1) Talk to your GM about it directly. Go directly to your GM, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. If you did that already and I missed the post, I apologize. Start with, "this isn't as fun as I thought it would be" and end with "what do you think". Do this before doing anything else. If this option does not work with this GM at this game table, then the game/character isn't the problem. Look for out-of-game solutions, like a different group. 2) Talk to your GM about it indirectly. This is really only an option if you cannot fathom option 1 above, and if so it may or may not work for those same out-of-game reasons. But you do have multiple methods to try: a) Knowledge Underdark checks b) Augury spells c) Interrogate captured NPCs etc 3) Suck it up. And again, only after failing at options 1 and 2 above, if you really can't fix it, then realize that you can't fix it and act accordingly. By the way, this advice applies to zillions of situations you're going to run into in your career as a player, so I would try it at least once. You may find it useful. [/QUOTE]
