'''At the [[Selûnite Outpost]] and around:''' | |||
* ''(Approaching portcullis, saw a [[Minotaur]] killed by traps):'' "Strewth!" | |||
** ''(Responding remark):'' “Careful. Not everyone looks this good dead.” | |||
* ''(Felt the quake):'' "The hells was that? We'd better not get buried down here." | |||
* ''(Approaching myconid [[Rapport Spores (Condition)|spore-guarded territory]], [[Nature]] check):'' | |||
** ''(Successul):'' "Ugh, fungal spores. Is a little blood mist too much to ask for?" | |||
** ''(Failed):'' "Urgh. Whatever's in the air, it tastes ''foul''." | |||
* ''(Approaching a group of petrified drow):'' “Huh. Drow statues are normally more regal and pompous.” | |||
* ''(Killed the [[Spectator]], Arcana check):'' | |||
** ''(Successful):'' “Since when could spectators turn you to stone?” | |||
** ''(Failed):'' “Entombed forever in stone. A grim fate.” | |||
'''In the [[Ebonlake Grotto]] and [[Decrepit Village]]:''' | |||
* ''(Met the [[Myconid]]s for the first time, [[Intelligence]] check failed):'' “A walking toadstool. That might be the vilest thing I've ever seen.” | |||
* ''(Looking at [[Spaw]] planting spores into a corpse):'' “You know, I can't tell if it's mourning, angry, or just hungry.” | |||
* ''(Saw a corpse revived as a Spore Servant):'' “Raising the dead is easier than capturing slaves. The drow in Menzoberranzan could learn something.” | |||

* ''(Found the remains of duergar and myconids’ battle):'' “Duergar and myconid bodies. Someone's been fighting.” | |||
* ''(Approached abandoned camp in the Decrepit Village):'' “The camp looks abandoned. And rightly so.” | |||

* ''(Heard Hook Horror calling for reinforcement in battle):'' “Shut that oversized chicken up!” | |||
* ''(Saw [[Bulette|Bulette’s]] holes, [[Nature]] check):'' | |||
** ''(Successful):'' “Bulette burrows. Best step lightly - there's a land shark about.” | |||
** ''(Failed):'' “Must be one hell of a mole.” | |||
* ''(Felt Bulette burrowing beneath):'' “What the hells?” | |||
* ''(Bulette approaching, Nature check):'' | |||
** ''(Successful):'' "Was that a bulette? Best watch my step or I'll be lunch." | |||

* ''(Bulette reappeared after hiding underground):'' “Hello again, beautiful. Back for more?” | |||

** ''(Responding remark, read [[Letter from Amarith]]):'' “All that remains of Lenore's beloved pet, it seems.” | |||

** ''(Successful):'' “That chest's magic. Its energy has me all atingle.” | |||
** ''(Failed):'' “I can feel the tingle of magic. Something close by...” | |||
* ''(Put an item IN the chest):'' “It's transformed! A clever little trick.” | |||
* ''(Took an item OUT of the chest):'' “It's transformed? What's this trickery?” | |||
* ''(Interact with lights without activating [[Power generator]]):'' “A light without a wick? How are you meant to use the damn thing?” | |||
** ''(Activated Power generator):'' “Ah, magical light. A cute little trick.” | |||
* ''(Blocked lift in the Arcane tower, Arcana check):'' | |||

'''Collecting lore on the [[Adamantine Forge]]:''' | |||

More on these creatures can be found at {{FRWiki|Flumph|long}}}} from [[Xargrim]], Arcana check):'' | |||
** ''(Successful):'' “There's a spell disguising this book. You're not really... 'Flumph Mating Rituals', are you?” | |||

** ''(If already interrogated Xargrim's corpse):'' “Here's the book he mentioned. Disguised by magic as... 'Flumph Mating Rituals'? Hells...” | |||
* ''(The book transformed, the party knew it was disguised):'' “Ah, the book on flumphs has dropped its disguise.” | |||
** ''(The party didn’t know):'' “That book on flumphs - it's changing. What were you hiding, you sneaky little wizard?” | |||
* ''(Looted [[Filro|Filro’s]] records, not knowing about the forge):'' “Rambling garbage. Typical.” | |||
** ''(Deciphered the record scroll):'' “The forge has a guardian undone by heat and hammer. Sounds simple...” | |||
** ''(If learned about the forge first from Filro):'' “A hidden adamantine forge? Imagine the blades you could produce with that.” | |||
*** ''(Responding remark, successfully deciphered drow’s records):'' “There is a guardian to take care of, of course. But all we need is a... 'hot hammer'?” | |||
*** ''(Failed to decipher the record scroll):'' “I would've appreciated more details, personally. The rest of the note reads like gibberish.” | |||
* ''(Second mention of the forge):'' “Seems like a popular spot, this forge. Everyone's looking for it.” | |||
** ''(The party knows about it from Filro’s corpse):'' “Seems the mad drow wasn't the only one searching for this forge.” | |||
** ''(The party knows about it from Filro’s notes):'' “The same forge from the wizard's notes? The notes that mentioned a guardian?” | |||
** ''(The party knows about it from [[Dhourn]]/Dhourn’s corpse):'' “Our wizard friend Dhourn was looking for this forge too. A popular spot.” | |||
