Overview

Shame House Dun'Robar into leaving the Drow alliance that waged war on Eveningstar. A powerful illusion-spell cast by the War Wizards will disguise you once you enter the house in Sschindylryn in the Underdark, so you can commit the sabotage in the appearance of a Drow. The Underdark can be accessed through Eveningstar Cavern. Sschindylryn can be entered far south of the entry portal and high above the cavern floor.

• This is part of the City of Portals story arc. You must complete it, The House of Broken Chains, and The House of Death Undone (in any order) to enable access to The Portal Opens.

Tips and Misc

• The only required kill here is the High Battlemaster, making this quest a fast XP/loot run. Sending someone with Dimension Door to get the Sword Rack while the party waits at the bell greatly shortens completion times.
• Dragging active enemies back to the main room allows all of the mobs on the floor that are fighting each other to activate as well. This must be performed before the Apply the Ichor to the Battlemaster's Sword Rack objective. Once completed, the enemies on the main room floor disappear.
• There are two levers by the sealed door to Jyr Dun'Robar's room (Matron of Dun'Robar, Matron's Quarters; northern room); the DM will remark one is "less tarnished with use" when you stand in front of it - this one will do nothing but trigger traps.
• To enter the Armory; it requires two 'separated' levers, to be pulled to open duel alternative: opening and closing portcullises. Therefore it will require two people to operate the two levers when entering (a single lever inside the room will also operate a portcullis).
• If you open the Secret Door in the Armory it will trigger a Drow ambush from the hidden Chest alcove.
• The Jyr Dun'Robar fight cannot be fought after defeating Teblyn.
• A hire can be used to apply the ichor to the Battlemaster's rack with the player down the hall and then dismissed, to avoid that fight.
• A trapper can disable the three traps in the passageway between the Battlemasters' Quarters and where he spawns overlooking the Arena; this will require fighting at least two guards (as one set of doors can't be opened without alerting them), but after applying the ichor and gathering by the bell, most of the party can wait up the hall while one person stays by the bell. When ready, the person by the bell can ring it and scamper down the hall, while the rest of the party ranges the Battlemaster from up the hallway. This will draw his attention without alerting any of the other drow in the room. This can also be done solo with sufficient stealth; just make sure to open all the doors along your path first!

Notes: Onslaught requires dragging an active enemy past the inactive ones to activate them. Ransack requires breaking breakables in Jyr Dun'Robar's room; ranging them from outside (so as not to trigger the fight) works.
