<A href="http://pc.ign.com/">PC.IGN</a> has posted <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/458/458780p1.html">another preview</A> of <A href="http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark">Hordes of the Underdark</a>, which everyone should know is the second expansion to <A href="http://nwn.bioware.com">Neverwinter Nights</a>. Here's a brief bit:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Anyway, once you've worked things out with this Dark Elf, you head down to talk to the innkeeper to see if he'll prorate your bill on account of the lack of decent security. While you're having this lovely conversation, even more Drow show up and start cutting up everyone they find. Once these poor souls have been dealt with (or otherwise it'll be a short game), you start to get the sense that you're on to something big. This impression is strengthened once you talk with Deekin, the kobold Bard from Shadows of Undrentide. He, along with others in the inn such as the innkeeper Durnan, tells you that a trip to the dungeon of Undermountain might hold the answers you seek. </blockquote>

<i>Undermountain</i>? Is that a typo?

Don't think so...theres too much other evidence in the blurb that suggests it is correct.

Durnan is the innkeeper of the Yawning Portal Inn, one of the major entrances into Undermountain in Waterdeep (and of course, Undermountain is under Waterdeep)
And there is at least one community of drow down around Skullport, so its a logical jumping off point into whatever story is there, and into the 'real' Underdark.

*slaps self*
I can pull *way* too much gaming stuff off the top of my head.

The big question, of course: Will NWN be decent to Undermountain?

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

I'm sure Bioware will include Halaster as a joinable NPC. Oops, I mean henchperson. IT IS TEH EPIC!
