General Exploration Suggestions

Suggestions that Russ gave us:


 * The most important member of the group is the wizard. The wizard should be equipped with magic items to boost his abilities before anybody else. (Note that Russ was the wizard of his group.)
 * Bring lots of ropes. Do not waste magic on merely climbing down a ledge.
 * Bring light sources that you do not need to hold in your hands.
 * Both Russ and Garamond only managed to escape, because they had an emergency escape scroll.

Suggestions that Garamond gave us:


 * Bring a boat that is large enough for the entire team.
 * Bring iron spikes to force open doors
 * Bring sufficiently man ranged weapons to fight in the large caverns.
 * Scouting ahead is extremely important.
 * He mentioned a situation where the group was fleeing. Strong members of the team carried light spellcasters, so that they could attack their persuers while fleeing.
