#2 OB1 Sep 03, 2015 11:06:17	Very nice elfcrusher.  I'm actually going to run this for just 2 PCs, and plan to take them 5th to 20th.  They will be a Human Vengence Paladin and Half Elf Old One Blade Warlock.   As for a party of 4, I'd go:   Dragonborn Vengence Paladin (anti-Fiend and single foe) Tiefling Wild Sorcerer (Buffs and AOEs) Dwarven Life Cleric (Healing and Undead) High Elf Arcane Trickster (Skill, Scout, Snipe)
#3 Zardnaar Sep 03, 2015 11:31:10	Fighter1/Warlock XYZ fiendpact. Tank+ranged options Wizard- Abjurer Cleric- Life Lore or maybe Valor Bard. Skill monkey and tank in the latter case.    Would probably want a Paladin come to think of it.

#5 The_White_Sorcerer Sep 03, 2015 12:26:43	A svirfneblin assassin to be the guy who feels at home in the environment. A wild mage to bring a sprig of insanity. Or maybe a demon-pact warlock (book or chain) for a more sinister, untrustworthy, feel. Human, or maybe sun elf if a warlock? An underdark druid. Half-drow. Shield dwarf vengeance paladin.
#6 OB1 Sep 03, 2015 12:38:40	Love the underdark half-drow druid idea.  Would definately have her as my fifth.

#9 Uchawi Sep 03, 2015 15:26:46	Any class with magic ability. The underdark is unforgiving.

The high demand for survival rolls to well, survive is impressive.   Summoning food and water will be helpful and maybe even that ritual to avid eating poor food.   For the first section of the adventure a thief seems really useful but you also have an NPC with a gambling addiction if you dont have one. Same for a linguist.
