Investigations of the subterranean area – extremely damp and musty – reveals a lot of undead (swiftly vanquished), an imprisoned spirit naga (also dispatched and the head preserved) a roving demon that attacks by surprise and lightning bolts the party a few times for good measure (killed as well) a few umber hulks (also dispatched with extreme prejudice).
