The adventurers clear the brush, head down into the cave and it ... just ... keeps ... going. Final scene, they look out of a cave into a much larger one, with a whole ocean underground, with black sailed ships crewed by inhuman monsters.You can build with goblins and orcs first and show people wizardry and clerics before having an illithid suck someone's brains out.Alternately, maybe you just have a slow-motion invasion of the surface and the Underdark is just seen as the distant headquarters of the villains and they wait several seasons to reveal how to get to Bad Guy HQ.</blockquote>
