First Post
(OOC ok, since I got in here I'm assuming I know the way out. Was this prison near a town or anything, or is it out in the middle of nowhere?)

General knowledge regarding the Caverns of Borog.
Borog was a Deep Dragon who lived within ( indeed carved a network of) tunnels and caverns that came to bear his name ever after. Long after the Dragon had been slain, his legacy of warrens lives on, miles and miles of caverns, tunnels and spacious vaults filled with grottos and fungal forests.
Many are the creatures that live amongst the Dragon's ancient home, most notably Troglodytes and Derro, the former in natural formatins, the latter having carved out small fortresses for themselves. It was deep within this network that the party of Yrtchull was ambushed, there on some business of Enraela's (Yrtchull's hated older sister). As well, teretha and Rith'Arnis had been following a lead regarding suspected Illithid activity in the area, possibly in link to the Derro, for that depraved race has been known to ally themselves with the flayers of minds.
The Castle that you are currently within is owned by a mysterious Mage, though none of you have as of yet seen him/her. Troglodytes seem his regular troops, though you have encountered extra-planar creatures as well, so he obviously has a command of the Summoning arts.
Both Teretha and Nurin know their way through the castle back to the front Gates, and hence out into a fungus forest that sits outside the place, one of the tracks that serves as a road through the place not too far off.
The Drow city of Thelaru'acli lies some 50-70 miles South, along many different intersecting roads, some small and less travelled, some more open and the causeway through which much traffic goes.
OoC:I will do a bit of editing to reflect what Teretha and Rith'Arnis know of the castle from my full maps. I'll try to get them up tomorrow, after I get some sleep.

OoC: Maps have been augmented from what Nurin added to Teretha's findings.Through Invisibility and sneakiness (and a bit of DM leeway for lax guards and 'heroic PC factor),the two of them failed to get caught.
'Ground level of Wizard's Hold...
Front Gates are guarded by 8 Troglodytes, posted just inside the gates 9which are kept barred.
the Entry Hall sees a fair amount of traffic. Other than trogs, Nurin observed Orcs, a Duergar in robes (with 4 Duergar guards)
and a lone Derro (who looked as if he had been 'gifted' with Urftuk's reptilian state). Teretha saw several contingents of Trogs, an Ogre (again with the reptilian aspect) and someone wearing a deeply cowled robe travelling alone and without guards towards the 'Audience Room'.
The Guardrooms on either side seem to house from 6 to a dozen trogs at any one time, though these seem lax.
The spot marked 'Troll' is indeed where a massive troll sits at guard, wearing partial plate and a pair of massive clawed gauntlets. It is past this troll that the cowled figure went...
The waiting rooms seem to be where those awaiting an audience would stay.
Nurin ventured into the cave marked 'Giant Lizards' though he quickly withdrew, as they seemed able to Scent him...There were at least a dozen of the things in there.
Teretha also saw the Armory, which contains many fine axes and swords, as well as more than a few drow made crossbows.
The armory looks able to outfit over a hundred warriors.

The room marked 'Private Room' is the domicile for someone that did not show themselves whilst either Nurin or Teretha was near.
Trogs were observed entering ( after knocking) and leaving several times.
The 'Trog Barracks' seems to be the home of 30 or 40 of the things, and the smell is horrid.
