==== [[Underdark]] ====
'''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.”
* ''(Responding remark):'' “They're just husks. I couldn't care less if they're slaves or building material.”
* ''(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.”
* ''(Killed [[Glut]]):'' “Poor Glut. All ambition, no competence.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “I doubt any tears will be shed. Or... secreted? Whatever mushrooms do.”
'''In the [[Dread Hollow]]:'''
* ''(Found [[Hook Horror]] markings [[Survival]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Sharp, deep, and fresh. Someone's marking their territory.”
** ''(Failed):'' "Strange marks. Left by some charming new monstrosity, I'm sure."
* ''(Saw a Hook Horror up on the cliff, eating a gnome):'' “Over there. Another friendly little critter.”
* ''(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."
** ''(Failed):'' "I don't know what that was, and I don't care to."
* ''(Bulette reappeared after hiding underground):'' “Hello again, beautiful. Back for more?”
* ''(Approaching the Sussur Tree):'' "I don't trust this tree. It feels wrong."
* ''(Feeling [[Sussur Antimagic Field (Condition)|Sussur Tree impact]]):'' "I feel cold. Empty. What are these flowers doing to me?"
* ''(Found Myrna's [[Myrna|dog collar]] after digging out the grave at {{coords|-41|-212}}):'' “What's this? A collar covered in runes...”
** ''(Responding remark, read [[Letter from Amarith]]):'' “All that remains of Lenore's beloved pet, it seems.”
** ''(Responding remark, hasn’t read the letter):'' “It must do something. Damned if I know what, though.”
'''In the [[Arcane Tower]]:'''
* ''(Approaching the entrance, saw scorched ground from [[Arcane Turret]]s):'' “The earth's been charred. Ominous.”
* ''(Read any poem book in the tower):'' “I'm not normally one for literature, but there's something there.”
* ''(Felt Weave emanations from the [[Chest of the Mundane]], [[Arcana]] check):''
** ''(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):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Why is it broken? You're powered by magic, for goodness sake!”
** ''(Failed):'' “It doesn't look broken. Then again, none of us do.”
** ''(Try to trigger it second time):'' “Still useless, I see.”
* ''(Pressed the strange button in [[Lenore De Hurst|Lenore’s]] bedroom, doesn’t have the collar):'' “Strangely low for a button. Strangely useless too.”
** ''(Pressed the button, has Myrna's [[Myrna|collar]] in inventory):'' “Hullo - whatever you did, it made the collar in my pack vibrate.”
** ''(Pressed the button, a party member wears the collar):'' “Ah! Whatever you did, it made my neckpiece vibrate.”
** ''(Pressed the button, got a [[Raw Steak]]):'' “The pet could summon its own food? What a clever little trick.”
** ''(Pressed the button second time):'' “No more? Not one for gluttony, I see.”
* ''(Put on the [[Guiding Light|ring]] obtained from [[Bernard]]):'' “A secret button? It seems this ring is more than just a fashion piece.”
* ''(Sat down on the [[Stool of Hill Giant Strength]]):'' "Well now, what's this? I feel powerful."
** ''(Got up from it):'' "Damn it, it's gone…"
** ''(Destroyed the stool and took the [[Club of Hill Giant Strength|leg club]]):'' “This could do some damage. Waste not...”
'''Collecting lore on the [[Adamantine Forge]]:'''
* ''(First learned about the forge):'' “An adamantine forge? Sounds like the perfect place to find something expensive.”
* ''(Looted [[Flumph Mating Rituals|disguised book]]{{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}}}} from [[Xargrim]], Arcana check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “There's a spell disguising this book. You're not really... 'Flumph Mating Rituals', are you?”
** ''(Failed):'' “'Flumph Mating Rituals'? Interesting choice, but who am I to judge?”
** ''(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.”
** ''(The party knows about it from Dhourn’s [[Memory Shard]]):'' “This is the same forge the memory shard showed us, surely?”
** ''(The party knows about it from Xargrim’s corpse):'' “hat's the same forge the drow's corpse mentioned, surely?”
** ''(The party knows about it from Xargrim’s disguised book):'' “That enchanted journal mentioned an adamantine forge too. Seems popular.”
** ''(The party knows about it from [[Skarjall]]):'' “The same adamantine forge the duergar were harping on about? Interesting.”
* ''(Third mention of the forge):'' “The forge again? Hells, we know everything bar how it smells.”
'''Dealing with [[Mushroom Circle]]s in the Underdark and beyond:'''
* ''(Found dead drow at the foot of the crag, [[Medicine]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Bones snapped like twigs. Must've been quite a fall.”
** ''(Failed):'' “A dead drow. No one's going to shed any tears.”
* ''(Found illusory mushroom “ladder” leading toward crag top):'' “Bloody Underdark. Even the mushrooms are out to get you.”
* ''(Found illusory wall on the top of the crag):'' “A fake wall. Hopefully hiding real secrets.”
* ''(Approaching a mushroom ring, knows its purpose):'' “No glow? How dull.”
** ''(Not knowing the purpose):'' “That's not normal, is it? A perfect ring of mushrooms.”
* ''(Entered a mushroom ring, knows its purpose):'' “Nothing? How disappointing.”
** ''(Not knowing the purpose):'' “Well, it's certainly... symmetrical?”
* ''(Activated the mushroom ring):'' “Well. That's different, at least.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark into [[Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Ethel]] is dead):'' “The old crone had a back door. Interesting.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel survived):'' “Ah, here we are again.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel to the [[Putrid Bog]]):'' “Just once, I'd like to teleported to a nice feather bed.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel into the Underdark, hasn’t been to Underdark earlier):'' “Stale air in a grim cave. This must be the Underdark.”
* ''(Teleported from the Overgrown Tunnel into the Underdark, has been to Underdark):'' “And we're back. A fungal shortcut.”
* ''(Teleported from the Putrid Bog into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel is dead):'' “The lazy old crone built herself a shortcut.”
* ''(Teleported from the Putrid Bog into Overgrown Tunnel, Ethel survived):'' “Our hag's lair. Charming.”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark to the Putrid Bog):'' “The hells? Why would it take us here of all places?”
* ''(Teleported from the Underdark to the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] (Ethel’s illusion is still intact)):'' “The hells? What's so important about these wetlands that it would lead here?”
'''Elsewhere in the Underdark:'''
* ''(Looking at cave paintings, [[History]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “[[Lolth]] leading her drow into the Underdark. This must be ancient.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Please. I prefer my art to be a little less... shit.”
* ''(Entering [[Zhentarim]] storehouse from the Underdark):'' "The Black Network's mark. Spies, murderers, and thieves ahead, I guess."
** ''(Entering the storehouse, descending from [[Zhentarim Hideout]])'' "Glowing rocks? Mushrooms? This is no simple storage room."
* ''(Found a Drow resupply stash at {{coords|71|-220}}): “A resupply stash. I wonder if Lolth's pets left anything good.”
* ''(Heard [[Baelen Bonecloak|Baelen’s]] cries for help): “Sounds like someone's about to die. I feel so at home here.”
* ''(Killed all [[Kuo-toa]] in Festering cove, dissipating [[BOOOAL|BOOOAL’s]] magic): “His power died with the fish creatures. I expected more from the 'Lord of Murder'.”
