About the adventure

πŸ† THE GREATEST DUNGEON OF THEM ALL πŸ’° Over 50 magical items to discover 🏹 Combat!! Over 230 unique creatures to encounter In the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Twenty-three levels of Undermountain dungeon exist for adventures, along with the subterranean refuge of Skullport. Treasures and secrets abound, but tread with care - Halaster is completely insane and probably using you for his own mad enjoyment. Do you have what it takes to invade his lair and return a rich and powerful hero? Or does the "Prince of Darkness" have other entertainment in mind?
