The Yawning Portal Tavern is a great place for the cliche party meeting and the first level of Undermountain is deadly but still survivable for 1st level players (as long as they don't stray too far from the entrance).  They can place bets on themselves and other groups going into Undermountain which is a great way for low level parties to make some (or lose some) money in the game without having to kill monsters to do it.I'll take a look at it (probably won't buy it) but you may have just inspired me to dig out my old Undermountain boxed set again.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
