Thanks

06-21-07, 05:54 PM Some of the background for the events surrounding that episode are covered in the novel Blackstaff by Steven Schend, with a really fun cameo by the man himself at the end. ;)

There is also a little information in DoF, under the Iryklathagra entry.

06-21-07, 08:06 PM See Undermountain: Stardock. It was the third and final module set in Undermountain [the other two were The Lost Level and Maddgoth's Castle -- all three are available for free here at WotC:- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads]

The Twisted Rune is a cabal of evil spellcasters; they kidnapped Halaster so they could gain his knowledge of portals. With the Mad Mage outside of his playground, the many layers of spells he's wrought down there started going awry. All over the Realms, portals to and from Undermountain were opening. Some grabbed unsuspecting people, pulling them into Undermountain. Other portals dumped monsters into the laps of those unsuspecting people. It was a very rough day in Waterdeep, in particular.

Halaster was eventually rescued by a group of adventurers. He returned to his Underhalls and things returned to normal, more or less.
