Simon N. (GM):From what Greeba can gather, Braltak's group didn't actually go very far into Underhall. In a chamber west of the entry chamber they found a Death Dog worrying a dead Crimson Monk, killed it after a tough fight and found some treasure in the lair. There were signs more death dogs lived there & they thought they heard something approaching, so left hurriedly.
