Underkeep Village

After speaking to Garric, you enter the village from the east. This is where you replenish supplies and choose your next expedition. The Crooked Wing stands near the centre, with Ronan's smithy to its west and Khelebar to the south of the smithy. Barlo Winch sells general goods to the north-west. A resurrection shrine stands in the same part of the village.

Keep the letter containing “If I am gone” from Jacob's cabin in your inventory when you speak to Khelebar. The search takes you through Underkeep Cemetery and its dungeons to Jacob in Cells of the Forgotten. Return to Khelebar for the reward after freeing him. The cemetery is reached through the southern village exit.

Mayor Aldren Veyne stands north of the centre with a lead on a missing expedition. Further north you can also meet Torren Malik and Lady Puffella. Conversations and items from earlier areas open further quests here, so do not sell letters and quest objects along with ordinary equipment.

Visit Barlo with the quest doll from Rat Nest, then ask him for more work after handing it over. The five lost Mushroomlings are all in the village: Sunnybell in the south-east, Frostwick in the south, Dirtfather in the east, Shreemer in the west and Red Pippa in the north-east. Their positions are marked on the map.

Their relatives, the Mushroom Kin, want them too, and all five go to a single recipient. Barlo pays in supplies; the Mushroom Kin give you the Mushroom Bond, which can randomly turn a hero into a mushroom for one turn and can leave Barlo's quest marked as failed. Save separately before you hand them over.

The northern exit leads to Caerlin Woods and the western one to Roots of Underkeep. Head east to return to Fangroot Forest. Keep these routes in mind for trips back to the traders, especially before a longer dungeon expedition.

Touch the village portal to activate it. Travelling between active portals also needs the Teleportation Stone that Khelebar gives for records from four obelisks around Underkeep Tower. Activating a portal does not supply the stone. Once you have it, use it, select a destination and walk through the resulting gate.
