Well, whether that elf is the dungeon master or not, there's no question that something's up with him since he was the only one to recognize Laius as an outsider. There's definitely a chance that Laius' party will meet him again.... and not necessarily through the paintings, I think.
Also, I wonder if it's truly necessary to go to the lower levels to find new sources of food? Couldn't they just backtrack to the upper levels instead? Maybe catch a few more basilisks to roast? I don't think a return trip should take as long as the journey downwards....
