| I don't mean to sound too new to the Realms, but what could kill Halaster in the first place? I know that Larloch, Elminster, the Simbul, etc. could probably kill him, and I know that the high level mages aren't invincible, but do we know yet what finally does him in? (Elminster made a sort of passive-aggressive threat in Skullport in Realms of the Underdark, but I doubt it would be Elminster without a good reason.) My first suspect would be the drow, with a handful of priestesses and mages attacking Halaster...and I really don't have a second suspect. Is it known what kills him? |

| The Twisted Rune manipulates a spell/ritual he's working on. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

| I'm saddened by the death of Halaster, as he was probably my all-time favorite behind-the-scenes bad guy. But you know what? He had a really good, long run, and even the mightiest wizards are not indestructible. I'm interested to see where Undermountain goes from here. These changes are part of what makes the Realms such a cool, living, breathing world; no matter how many centuries something may last, ultimately nothing is permanent. |

| Funny thing about this product is that the side view of all the levels looks like a more colorful version of one that I made myself (before this product was released) for a campaign using the information in City of Splendors: Waterdeep. (which I did to SEE where all the levels were)....actually, mine has all the sublevels on it :P so it is more accurate, just not as pretty to look at. I could scan it and put it online if anyone is interested. |

| I did not read through all 7 pages of posts, but I grabbed this and thought it strange that WOTC tried to make this a generic module. |

| Some of these first time printing maps are gonna make my huge UM Campaign easier. Level 9 looks fairly easy to replicate with Dungon Tiles (except a few spots but no biggie when you have a dry erase mat) |

I think it's because of the tactics layout, and the sheer size of the dungeon.
Does anyone know if a dungeon this size has ever been published before? |

| Question. What are the good points for this sourcebook? I'm interested in getting it, mainly for any new lore and to run an Undermountain adventure (though I'll be keep Halaster alive). Is it worth it? |

I own it, and was sad because the adventures were only for chars level 1-10. I really like the detailed description of the Yawning Portal at the beginning. I may yet still use it, but not right now. |

| I started running the adventure for 2 players who have 2 characters each. One guy almost got himself killed because he HAD to kill the Mimic early on and the other guy's characters didn't want to help. Very stubborn for level 1. I fudged the dice a wee bit but if he thinks he can survive everything down here, well the next stupid move like this he does I am NOT fudging the dice and he will have to make a new character...too bad so sad. |
