Into the Underdark! -- Your Guide: Simeon Longknife
As you begin your travel, Simeon Longknife says softly in a stage whisper, "Now stay alert, and no one wander off alone. If you need to stop let us know, we're in no real hurry at the moment. And anyway, it's not like we'll be able to go very fast in some places here, anyway. This passage that we're in is one of the largest we'll find down here. There are many, many smaller caves and passages, as you'll see soon enough."
The footing in the passage is treacherous at best. The floor of the cavern is wet in many places, with accumulations of water making small, brackish pools every few dozen yards. The floor, walls, and ceiling are mostly covered with lichen or some similar growth. Simeon asks you all to be as quiet as possible, and to only speak above the faintest whisper if it is absolutely necessary. He draws everyone in close to him and softly says, "There is some lichen down here that you can eat, but don't just grab some and have a snack! Let me check it first, because some is at least mildly poisonous, too, or it will give you the galloping trots so bad that you wished you were dead. And remember, there are many creatures and things down here, some harmless, most not. We may find that the Crushed Skull Orcs are among the least of our worries before we get very far at all."
There are stalactites and stalagmites in some areas, but Simeon tells you that these tend to be rare in primary passages like the one you're in. Every so often, there is an area of flowstone that might be strangely beautiful if you were at ease when you saw it. The passageway that you are in is a primary passage between 15 and 30 feet wide and up to 20 feet tall. All is oddly quiet, except for the scraping of your boots on the floor of the passage, and the occasional *drip* *drip* *drip* of water somewhere. All set, you cautiously begin your trek northward.

Francheska ate in silence as the orcs brought food. She chose only from dishes the orcs are from first. She listened to the discussion of the journey ahead without a sound. Better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Francheska frowns as the party moves underground, not from being underground, but from being damp and wet. Her scarlet cloak is already beginning to get damp from the humidity. She adjusts her pack and trudges along, just keeping pace. Is this bow even going to be any use down here?

hgaving been on many an archioligical dig, Cappizzio finds the under world as his second home. he takes notes of 'landmarks' to help him navigate if he is stuck down here alone, and silently pays attention to Simeon as a student would and should. This is , afterall, not much different then a classroom study lesson.
