[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 816482, member: 4134"] Don't think I can give away much more without telling you the story. But there are some general guidelines: [list] [*]Avoid overmuch noise. Denizens of the Underdark are used to silent creatures. Being as loud as a dwarven marriage will tell the enemy you are there and what you are. [*]Same with light: Don't use any light source, if you can avoid it. Ideally everyone in the party has darkvision. A light source in the underdark (especially a moving one) is a dead giveaway and you'll probably be seen long before you can see the enemy. [*]Light in the middle of the fight, on the other hand, will be useful. You'll fight undead and drow most of the time, so spells that produce enough light to blind drow will be a treasure. [*]Try to find out who's your enemy (I won't tell you): Spiderkissers are a pretty obvious one, but try to find out what fractions you'll have to deal with in addition to that, and prepare accordingly. [*]Be prepared that you'll have few secure places to rest, and fewer places to buy or sell stuff. Be provisioned well, pe equipped well, and carry large loot bags (one or more portable holes, for preference) [*]Be prepared to fight drow. [/list] [/QUOTE]
