Underdark: Settled Area Encounters

Underdark: Settled Area Encounters

Settled Underdark areas would be a large cavern with a city or several small villages. It could be on the edge of a larger city or fortress and maybe heavily patrolled. Most likely the lesser creatures and undead will be Illithid or Drow slave parties, sometimes accompanied by one or two of that race to control them.
