In the underdark, there are portholes that allow a heap of elementals to come through. Killing one only spawns another. What is the meaning of this? :(
Take 4!

Smile, tomorrow will only be worse. Murphy's Law.

If you talk to the duergar merchants, they will tell you of a battle involving a mage that got imprisoned. They also sell a scroll of Freedom. Use the scroll (you probably can't inscribe and memorize it because of your level) to free the mage. He will then ask you to retrieve his spellbook and later to guard the portholes while he travels to other dimensionsseeking tresures.

Don't hesitate to consult the walkthrough on this site.

However, before doing the above, you may just want to kill the elementals that come through for the XP (they do stop spawning eventually).
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
