Underdark General Discussion Thread

[Weavron]

I've seen some UD rp with some UD lore knowledge but not all of it and so I thought for you UD players I'd post this

http://www.lski.org/pictures/tabletopga ... erdark.pdf

This is the 3rd ED/3.5 PDF of all UD races.

General Underdark roll call?

Who is active? In particular, are there any active svirfneblin?

If so, can you respond IC to this thread: http://bgtscc.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=35980

Outside of Sshamath, is there another "travelers meeting stop" for gathering IC information? or even, another IG message board available for non-city dwelling underdarkers?

Cheers.

[Storm Munin]

Outside of varalla's id say the only safe bets for finding people to chat to are the rest places in the areas where grinding is done atm.

[Ralmevyk]

I am as active as my crapy connect allows me (tho cheating it sometime with a cyber cafe when i realy need to go online) Should be on more regulary by the end of the month

edit: If you meet Phara, (and can actualy see him ) don't hesitate to initiate RP

[roke42]

I am down there now and then. But can't remember any snirvs down there. And there is no place like the FAI down there, so if there is something like a "gather place", it would be Sshamath.

[Nyeleni]

I play a svirf and I met two others which were much more experienced than me...

[Empoweredfan]

I'm on near every day, with Nawiel. Only character I'm using these days. She is Drow, but there.

=)

[stevebarracuda]

Well, the idea there are 3+ Svirfs active in the UD is more than I could ask for!

And if you know me, the Campfire is not my thing. I'm looking for more of a Knowledge sharing for either pure survival reasons in the Underdark, or with idea that "adventuring" is also common in the UD.

Or just a plain old outpost. There used to be an outpost/merchant at the end of Varalla's.

[Servin]

The outpost is no longer there, since the siege. It's either the city market, gloura's or varalla's passage.

BTW nice to see you down here

[illithid]

I also have an active svirfneblin, though she does not venture too far from the city at present. Mist Lake is an outpost of sorts, but used rarely, though with Rasael's update it may see some more traffic soon

[Weavron]

I play Nerruin myself, he is an Imaskari down there but I do play a Snvirf as well. Nerruin has been looking for more of them or Duergar to try to encourage them into a clan or see if he can find one to fund. ((Would be really nice to see some time of little settlement out there of a Deep Village or Grey Clan)))

That is what my Gloura's post is about - looking some.

[Rasael]

By Steve's request: This is still in the update pipeline to go live on the server

I also occasionally play, although Ilphryssin has become an almost NPC character at the moment. So I might try to create a different char!

-Spires added in a few locations near the City, and in the City

[DM Sentinel]

Does that mean that non-drow mages will be granted citizenship?

As lore-reading player, I say that it is unacceptable.

[TalonofWindspeak]

You know underdark summons for druids, wouldn't it be nice to have the equivalent summons from a wand, Kobold - lvl 1, Bugbear - 2, spider, goblins and so on? Our own Sshamath custom summons wands?

[DM Sentinel]

Spell summons do not include humanoids, usually, so that sounds unlikely.
