1. Deep in the Underdark, your party pursues a wizard who has betrayed you. Footprints lead one direction, but you hear something coming down the other tunnel. You say:

"Let's ambush whatever's coming, because we know that'll be a fight. vVe could waste hours of time in these passages without meeting a single foe."

"My lust for revenge burns like alchemist's fire. Each moment it remains unquenched, I suffer. Ifthese footprints might belong to my enemy, I must follow."

"The approaching noise is probably a mindless predator drawn by our lights. Our contact in the mage's guild said the wizard had apprentices-if these footprints aren't his own, they might have been left by a student who could lead us to him."

"According to my map, this tunnel leads to the duergar city. I see nowhere else the wizard might be headed. Let's get there first and learn something about the city that we can use against him when he arrives."
