The Wilds of the Underdark

The Wilds of the underdark is aimed at Newbies and, as such, is a picnic for anyone higher than level 10. The toughest mob in the area is a 15K Drider. There are some magic using mobs too (the bane of low level characters) but all of them are small enough to be bashed. If you're worried take a low-level warrior with you!

There's only really one note of warning in this zone: The Bottomless Crypt (Bc) could be a death trap. From the description I didn't want to find out myself, but if any brave traveller wants to find out for me I'll be gratful for the results of your exploration.

There are two closed doors in the area. To open the door in teh Dead-end Cave (Dc) use 'push stone'. To open the door on the Purple Lit Cavern use 'push door'.

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 4e7ne3n4es2e2sesese2s6e6swn.
