Need Quest Ideas - Underdark

[Rustyshortsword]

Good morning everyone,

This Saturday my group and I will be getting together for a marathon D&D session, and I am drawing a blank when it comes to writing a quest.

There are 2 PC's and an NPC (10th Warden, 10th Warlock, 10th Warlord).

They are currently traveling underground to the Underdark to mess up some Drow and recover an important ingredient to a magical ritual. However, I wanted to get some ideas from you guys for side quests and adventures during their stay.

The group is approaching an underground town which acts as a centre for trade between the Underdark and certain Above ground races who knows of the towns exsistence.

Any ideas? All are welcome.

Thanks so much,

Please tell me one is a Warforged?

- The town seems good on the outside, but there's something sinister with the way it's run that people are too afraid to talk about
- The trade routes keep getting caved in, find out why and stop it
- A tide of lava breaks through one of the cavern walls. You have to stop it and whatever is causing it.
- The inn is made of SPIDERS

No, no Warforged . Thanks for the ideas though. I really appreciate it.

Keep'em comin'

Well, first of all hi, I'm new here.
Here some ideas:
-Some dwarfen archaeologists need help to recover an ancient magic object of their clan.

-The PCs could be hired to assasinate an important merchant in the town or even the ruler of the town. The taskmaster could be a drow who has a feud with the merchant or who wants to overrun the town. It also could be an other merchant who wants to get his competition out of his way, or who wants to claim the position of the city ruler.


Well, I hope it will help you, maybe i have some more ideas later.

Hmm...can't come up with a lot that doesn't require some longer story threading, but here's two you should be able to just drop in with a little ironing.

- Uncover a smuggling ring that operates out of the city, sending macguffins to other places where said macguffins shouldn't be

- Stop a cultist of Lolth who is bewitching people and using them to secretly poison the trade goods that leave the city

1 The town has a slum of predominantly one race (gnomes, goblins?) that's looked down upon, and several of them have recently gone missing. Nobody else seems to care, will the PCs?

2 The town depends on a food/water supply that comes in through a side cavern. Recently there's been a small group of monsters disrupting it, will the PCs investigate, and find out whether it's a random infestation or something deeper?

3 A nearby (bottomless?) chasm has been used by the town as a trash chute, but lately strange psychoactive vapors/arcane energies have come up it, and the area's now off-limits. Will the problem get worse, and what will the PCs do about it?
