Plot summary

In Escape from Undermountain, a half-orc half-witch hero has a 48-hour quest to rescue a nobleman from a subterranean labyrinth containing countless monsters. He has a small golden box from which a magical gate will appear to transport him and his ward out of Undermountain in their moment of need.[1]

Reception

Jonathan Palmer reviewed Escape from Undermountain for Arcane magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall.[1] He says of the story, "This is real Dungeons & Dragons" and feels that "Something inevitably has to go wrong."[1] Palmer concludes the review by saying, "Mark Anthony writes to formula and what little plot there is he spells out early. That said, Escape is engaging and witty, so novices may find this Forgotten Realms novel a good introduction to the concepts of fantasy roleplaying."[1]

gollark: Why?
gollark: I'm giving people permission to try and gather data on me if they want, on the condition that they tell me while doing so, give me the results of this, and delete any copies they might retain of it without giving them to anyone else. Unfortunately this is pretty unenforceable. I can pay in melons, though.

gollark: I think I've been pretty clear that I'd prefer Nobody to not gather people's datas without asking them *beforehand*, but if he does do that anyway then he should notify people he's doing it.
gollark: If he *isn't* telling people about his data gathering escapades then he may not receive the appropriate complaint volume, so maybe I should just *assume* he's looking up someone's data at random times and complain?
