====[[Underdark]]====
'''At the [[Selûnite Outpost]] and around:'''
* ''(Approaching portcullis, saw a [[Minotaur]] killed by traps):'' "Eyes open!"
** ''(Responding remark):'' “We are not welcome here - this much is clear.”
* ''(Felt the quake):'' "Quakes. The bedrock must be underincredible strain."
* ''(Approaching myconid [[Rapport Spores (Condition)|spore-guarded territory]], [[Nature]] check):''
** ''(Successul):'' "Airborne spores. Fungal, I suspect."
** ''(Failed):'' "Airborne spores. And they're everywhere."
* ''(Approaching a group of petrified Drow):'' “Those are not simple statues. This means trouble.”
* ''(Killed the [[Spectator]], Arcana check):''

* ''(Saw [[Bulette|Bulette’s]] holes, [[Nature]] check):''

** ''(Responding remark, hasn’t read the letter):'' “A mystical artefact. Or a meaningless trinket.”
 
'''In the [[Arcane Tower]]:'''
* ''(Approaching the entrance, saw scorched ground from [[Arcane Turret]]s):'' “Scorch marks. Eyes keen and ears open.”

'''Collecting the lore on the [[Adamantine Forge]]:'''
* ''(First learned about the adamantine forge):'' “An adamantine forge? Imagine the blades gith artisans might craft with such a device.”
* ''(Looted [[Flumph Mating Rituals|disguised book]] from [[Xargrim]], Arcana check):'' “How clever - a spell hides this book's true nature. Perhaps I can dispel it.”
** ''(Failed):'' “A book on 'flumph'{{ref|Flumphs are a sentient race that inhabits the Underdark. They are known to reproduce themselves through a budding process, hence the bemusement of party members. More on these creatures can be found at {{FRWiki|Flumph|long}}}} reproduction. The inhabitants of this plane hold peculiar interests.”
** ''(If already interrogated Xargrim's corpse):'' “Surely the book the drow corpse mentioned. A spell hides its true nature.”
** ''(The book transformed, the party knew it was disguised):'' “The drow's book has transformed. So much for 'Flumph Mating Rituals'.”
** ''(The party didn’t know):'' “''Chk'' - seems magic concealed the true nature of 'Flumph Mating Rituals'. Clever - almost.”
* ''(Looted [[Filro|Filro’s]] records, not knowing about the forge):'' “The ravings of a lunatic. Pure nonsense.”
** ''(Deciphered the record scroll):'' “The adamantine forge is guarded. And this so-called 'hot hammer' is key to its destruction.”
** ''(If learned about the forge first from Filro):'' “An adamantine forge? Imagine the blades gith artisans might craft with such a device.”
*** ''(Responding remark, successfully deciphered drow’s records):'' “Seems it is closely guarded. And this so-called 'hot hammer' is key to its destruction.”
*** ''(Failed to decipher the record scroll):'' “But what is this nonsense about a 'hot hammer'? Mad ravings, surely.”
* ''(Second mention of the forge):'' “Seems this forge was most coveted, and for good reason.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Filro’s corpse):'' “The mad drow spoke of this forge, too - perhaps his mind wasn't entirely addled.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Filro’s notes):'' “The Adamantine Forge again. The last journal mentioned a guardian...”
** ''(The party knows about it from [[Dhourn]]/Dhourn’s corpse):'' “The Adamantine Forge - that blowhard Dhourn was searching for it.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Dhourn’s [[Memory Shard]]):'' “More forge talk. The memory shard showed us where to go.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Xargrim’s corpse):'' “This 'Adamantine Forge' - the dead drow spoke of finding it.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Xargrim’s disguised book):'' “The Adamantine Forge - the enchanted journal spoke of it as well. Curious.”

* ''(Found illusory mushroom “ladder” leading toward crag top):'' “''Tsk'va!'' Best to watch my step.”
* ''(Found illusory wall on the top of the crag):'' “Someone didn't want us intruding. Which means there's something worth finding.”
* ''(Approaching a mushroom ring, knows its purpose):'' “Another ring - but these mushrooms aren't glowing.”
** ''(Not knowing the purpose):'' “A circle of mushrooms. The teachings made no mention of this.”
* ''(Entered a mushroom ring, knows its purpose):'' “Nothing. Perhaps it needs to be activated somehow.”
** ''(Not knowing the purpose):'' “Nothing happened. As I expected.”
* ''(Activated the mushroom ring):'' “Odd. The ring's colour has changed.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark into [[Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Ethel]] is dead):'' “The hag's lair. Would that I could kill her twice over.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel survived):'' “The hag's lair. Step with caution.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel to the [[Putrid Bog]]):'' “The swamp. Delightful.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel into the Underdark, hasn’t been to Underdark earlier):'' “Stones as damp as the caverns of K'liir. This must be the Underdark.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel into the Underdark, has been to Underdark):'' “Back in the Underdark, it would seem. Crude magic - but effective.”
* ''(Teleported from the Putrid Bog into Overgrown Tunnel):'' “The hag's lair? Hardly more appealing.” ''(this line appears regardless of Ethel was killed or survived)''
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark to the Putrid Bog):'' “Out of the Underdark - but still stranded on this woeful rock.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark to the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] (Ethel’s illusion is still intact)):'' “Out of the Underdark and into the marshes - but still standing on this middling rock.”
 
'''Elsewhere in the Underdark:'''
* ''(Looking at cave paintings, [[History]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “''Ghaik'' in battle with driders? Extraordinary - this art must date back to [[Lolth|Lolth's]] descent.”
* ''(Failed):'' “Ancient drawings - a mind flayer in battle with... a spider?”
* ''(Entering [[Zhentarim]] storehouse from the Underdark):'' "The mark of the Zhentarim, I believe - the brigands for hire."
* ''(Entering Zhentarim storehouse, descending from [[Zhentarim Hideout]]):'' "Contraband. Why else would so many goods be stored in such depths?"
* ''(Found a Drow resupply stash at {{coords|71|-220}}):'' “An old resupply cache. Lolth's children once tread here.”
* ''(Heard [[Baelen Bonecloak|Baelen’s]] cries for help):'' “Another coward crying for aid? How usual.”
* ''(Killed all [[Kuo-toa]] in [[Festering Cove]], dissipating [[BOOOAL|BOOOAL’s]] magic):'' “The power has dispersed. He was no god - hardly even an imitation.”
