1) The quick flowing river turns and twists. Ahead you see a gate ahead that blocks your passage further down the river. To the right and left of the gate is a sight to behold. Impaled on two steel rods are two humanoid skeletons.

A lever to open the gate is on the opposite side of the gate. The use of a pole 15' long and a disable device check (DC 15) will easily knock the lever out and release the lock on the gate and allows it to be lifted Str check DC 20. Once lifted, the lever can be replaced to keep it open.

2) The swift flowing river flows into a larger body of water that seems to swirl in dark eddies as you look into it. The cavern itself rises into darkness beyond your vision. A ledge of rock about five feet above the water's surface runs along this body of water to the north. To the south is a lichen covered wall that glows ever so slightly with a green light along the water's edge giving the soft lapping water dimension and depth. Above the flittering of bats can be seen and heard as they skitter amongs the stalactites.

This is Lake Qualm. It extends over 2 miles to the west and 4 miles to the south. Most of the lake is underwater and this small section of its surface provides a good food source for the denizens in this part of the underdark.

The lake itself is pretty docile, but it teems with life above and below. For each round, the players are in this chamber, there is a 1 in 20 chance of a random encounter from the table below. IF they are wielding a light source, it becomes 1 in 10 chance of an encounter.

1 - Bat Swarm (1-2)

2 - Mobat (2-8)

3 - Piercers (hazard) (1-4) - CR 1

4 - Dire Bat (3-8)

5 - Giant Spiders (3-8)

6 - Giant Spiders, Black Widow (1-4)

3) The jetty. A rock formation juts out into the lake and forms a natural pier. A few rusty metal bollards offer an area to attach a rope for boats. This area looks unused for quite some time. Remnants of crates can be seen on the rocky surface.

4) The Rise. In front of you is a twenty foot cliff that leads up to a ledge and it appears it continues around the water's edge into the darkness. The cliff's surface is fairly smooth.

5) The Iron Gate. A very large, sturdy iron gate blocks this natural passage to the north. There is no device visible that will open this gate. Runes can be seen engraved into the rock above the gate and along its sides.

In undercommon: Harvvod, Citadel of the Dark Sun. Death to its enemies, plunder to its allies, jewel of the deep.

Strength check DC 25 will open this iron gate with a continued roll per round to keep it open. The lever and winch to open it is located at 5a. There is a 25% that a duergar patrol will be here at any given time to check on the gate.

6) This cavern is covered with small plants and fungus. Shuffling in the room are several figures in chainmail with blades in their hands.

This room is the home of a yellow musk creeper and its minions, 6 yellow musk zombies. It will range attack all entering the cavern with its pollen and reach out with its tendrils as well.

Special Abilities:

Create Yellow Musk Zombie (Su): A victim reduced to Intelligence 0 becomes a yellow musk zombie in 1 hour under the control of the creeper that created it. If the yellow musk creeper is slain before the yellow musk zombie rises, the transformation can be prevented by the casting of neutralize poison followed by a heal or restoration spell.

Intelligence Damage (Ex): As a free action, a yellow musk creeper can insert hundreds of tiny roots into the head of an entranced foe within any space occupied by the creeper. An entranced foe does not resist this attack and does not receive a saving throw to break free of its entranced state. This attack deals 1d4 points of Intelligence damage each round. A victim reduced to Intelligence 0 becomes a yellow musk zombie in 1 hour.

Pollen Spray (Ex): A yellow musk creeper can spray a tiny cloud of hypnotic pollen at a single creature within 30 feet. An opponent hit by the cloud must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or be entranced for 1d4 minutes (as by a charm monster spell). Entranced creatures can take no action other than to move at their normal speed into a space occupied by the yellow musk creeper. An entranced creature resists any attempt to halt its progress. A victim within a space occupied by the yellow musk creeper stands there and offers no resistance to the monster’s attacks. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Rejuvenation (Ex): A yellow musk creeper can be killed only if its root is dug up, then burned, hacked apart, or otherwise destroyed. Reducing the creeper to 0 or less hit points puts it out of commission, allowing excavation of its roots. The main root is a Small object with a hardness of 3 and 10 hit points. The root can be affected by spells or effects that affect an area or targeted by spells that affect an individual target.

7) Harvest Beetles. On this floor of this fungus covered natural cavern can be seen housecat-sized beetles with carapaces that flicker with a soft white light of energy. They crawl on the walls and the ground.

These 10 flash beetles will mind their business unless provoked. They are harvested by the duergar when their parts and carapaces are needed for their spellcasters or craftsmen.

8) This large cavern is shrouded in darkness. Small centipedes and other vermin skitter across the floor. Upon further inspection, the northern section of this area is covered in clumps of thick sinuous webbing. Hanging in the webbing can be seen bundles wrapped in the webbing as well as parts of giant insects and their husks.

There are 3 giant black widow spiders lurking in these webs. They have been able to thrive catching bats, centipedes, and an occasional humanoid that wanders too closely.

9) Rats can be seen running everywhere along the floor and walls of this chamber. A passage leads out to the northeast and a fifteen foot tall ledge of stone is in the south of this chamber.

If party members enter here with light, the rats will scurry to get away from them. If the party climbs atop the ledge, they will see a skeleton of a human clutching a backpack. Inside the backpack is about 15 rat pelts, a small book of poetry written by Tinny Garranger, called "Verses into the Dark." The poetry is a reflection of one's self discovery into the darkness and how self discovery is easier found in the deep darkness of the world. One poem sticks out if it is read - "The Rat Catcher."

The rat catcher does not serve light

Oft travels by guise of night

Voice often is the lure

Of those whose disease has no cure

His quarry coin of the pelt

Fill a pouch on his belt.

But if the catcher is unaware

The Rat King will snare

Darkness fill his sight.

In the skeleton's belt pouch is 114gp and tucked in his belt is a Flute of the Servitors. Upon further investigation, the humanoid's skeleton has been gnawed clean by rats and other vermin.

10) This small chamber is empty save for a pile of bones in a niche in the back. Old and new blood stains cover the ground.

Above the cave entrance, using spider climb is a cave troll. It has done well for itself after losing its mate to the Decapuses and will fall down any who enter the room and tear them to shreds.

Special Abilities:

Haste (Su): A cave troll is affected by a permanent haste spell (caster level 8th). This grants the cave troll a +1 bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves (both already figured into the stat block above). Any condition that makes the cave troll lose its Dexterity bonus to AC also makes it lose its dodge bonus. This is an inherent bonus and cannot be dispelled or negated.

When making a full attack action, a cave troll can make one extra attack with any weapon it is holding or one extra claw attack (if using natural weapons). The extra attack is at the cave troll’s full attack bonus.

Spider Climb (Su): A cave troll can climb sheer surfaces as though by a spider climb spell (caster level 4th). This ability is always active, but can be negated or dispelled. The cave troll can restart it again on its next turn as a free action.

11) Creature trails seem to enter this room, but then turn around before going in further than five feet.

If group fully enters:

Sconces of fiery lights adorn the north, east, and west walls of this natural cavern. In the center is a dark pit twenty feet long and ten feet across. Shadows flicker in the entire chamber from the stalactites on the twenty foot tall cavern ceiling and the various boulders around the room. Along the north wall is a literal art gallery of art objects, weapons, and other paraphernalia. Resting comfortably on a leather and wooden stool is a small humanoid figure. Massive ears and elaborate eyebrows frame her youthful features. Surprised at seeing you, she perks up, smiles, and waves her arms to the wares she has on the walls. She speaks in a sweet voice, "Hello there! I have not had many patrons over the years! Do you see something you like?"

Special Abilities:

No Shadow (Ex): A shadow collector casts no shadow of its own, but instead casts any one of the stolen shadows it possesses.

Steal Shadow (Su): A shadow collector automatically steals the shadow of any incorporeal or living creature destroyed, incapacitated, or killed by its claw attack. A shadow collector can also steal a living corporeal creature’s shadow with the steal combat maneuver; the shadow doesn’t count as fastened to its owner. Until the shadow is returned, the victim has no shadow or reflection and gains 2 permanent negative levels. These negative levels can’t be removed otherwise, even with magic that usually removes negative levels. When a shadow collector steals a shadow, it gains 2 shadow points. A shadow collector must expend 1 shadow point to use any of its spell-like abilities. A shadow collector generally begins an encounter with 1d3+1 shadow points. A shadow collector can release a stolen shadow as a standard action. A creature can touch the shadow collector to regain its stolen shadow, as long as the shadow collector is helpless or dead. A successful break enchantment (DC 23) can also restore a target’s shadow.

Tear Shadow (Su):A shadow collector’s claws strike as ghost touch weapons and, in addition to their normal damage, deal 1d6 points of Charisma damage to incorporeal creatures.

This damage destroys a creature if it equals or exceeds the creature’s actual Charisma score.

12)This very damp chamber has a pool of water in it center. Hovering over the pool are various types of fungi of varying hues. Glowing lichen illuminates the water and a shadowy form can be seen underneath its surface. To the north and south are small ledges also covered with fungi of various colors.
