Level 11: Troglodyte Warrens
HE TROGLODYTE WARRENS ARE DESIGNED FOR
four 11th-level characters, and characters
who defeat the monsters on this level should
gain enough XP to reach 12th level. These
reeking caverns and rough tunnels have
long been home to clans of troglodytes. The
presence of drow on the levels above and be-
low has turned these warrens into a battlefield-and an
opportunity for unlikely alliances.
What Dwells Here?
Troglodytes inhabit this level of Undermountain. Their
dominance is contested by drow determined to enslave
them, trolls twisted by Halaster's magic and hungry for
troglodyte flesh, and a magically enhanced behir intent
on terrorizing all.
TROGLODYTES
The troglodytes in area 2 on this level have been cap-
tured by drow, and they try to entice adventurers into
helping the m escape. Meanwhile, the strongest and last
remaining free clan of troglodytes defends against en-
croaching drow in area 7. The troglodytes might reveal
secret locations and treasures to adventurers who elimi-
nate their hated enemies.
DROW
Drow from House Auvryndar on level 10 and House
Freth on level 12 are fighting each other for control of
this level, all the while capturing troglodytes to use as
slaves and doing their best to steer clear of the behir.
MUTATED TROLLS
The trolls of the warrens have been mutated by the
glowing, rune-covered cavern at area 11. The magic of
that cavern has spawned trolls with grotesque defor mi-
ties and magical traits. These creatures devour troglo-
dytes, drow, and adventurers whenever they can find
them. The trolls are smart enough to avoid the behir.
BEHIR
This serpentine monstrosity feeds on the troglodytes
and trolls, keeping their populations in check. Halaster
has bestowed the behir with arcane sigils painted on
its hide, which it can activate to produce potent magi-
cal effects.
The behir roams throughout the level, but characters
e ncounter it for the first time in area 17. Its presence
can be hinted at beforehand, in the form of a flash of
blue scales crossing the end of a tunnel. Huge, clawed
footprints can be seen marking the ceilings of multiple
caverns, and the sound of lightning and thunder erupts
from time to time in the distance.
