The deep gnome Thulla has been poisoned by a Duergar and needs the antidote. That starts  Cure the Poisoned Gnome. Once she is spoken to, she will die within three long rests.

The traders Blurg and Omeluum can be asked for help regarding the player's tadpole infection. This begins  Help Omeluum investigate the parasite.

The dwarven trader Derryth Bonecloak's husband has gone missing. She asks the party to find him, which starts  Find the Mushroom Picker.

Myconid Minefield

In the south-east area of the grotto, this area contains many dangerous mushrooms such as Timmask, Bibberbang and Torchstalk. Setting off fire spells or torchstalks in this area can cause a chain reaction of explosions.

Giant Bird Nest

South-west of the grotto, this unnamed area is unremarkable save for the empty giant bird nest.

Guardian Gate

As reward for the quest Defeat the Duergar Intruders, Sovereign Spaw will unlock the gate. It can otherwise be destroyed to enter the room beyond, but not lock-picked. Inside is some loot and the Pale Corpse of Xargrim which can be spoken to with  Speak with Dead.
