Rope Trick into Bag of Holding

Our last session, the sorcerer and two other members of the party were resting in a rope trick. Demons found rope trick and made their way in. Sorcerer, in panic, cast a second rope trick into a bag of holding, taking one of the three that were originally there with him. Late in session, late at night, off the cuff ruling (at the badgering of the sorcerer) put the two of them in the Astral Plane.

Looking for thoughts and further explanations for a more formal ruling before I have to come up with an adventure for the two PCs floating around in the Astral Plane.
Command Undead and a Language Barrier

While unintelligent undead respond to simple, basic commands, these

The PRD wrote:
commands are not telepathic. The undead creature must be able to hear you.

Would this be translated to mean that an intelligent undead creature would have to understand the language the caster is commanding it in for said commands to make sense and, therefore, have an effect on the undead creature?

Furthermore, the sorcerer that cast this spell doesn't speak the same language as the undead he has recently 'commanded' and relies on another party member to communicate with them. Would the creatures' attitude of friendly only apply to the sorcerer? Or the entire party?

Happy holidays!
Getting Lost in the Crucible of Chaos

I am gamemastering module J3 - Crucible of Chaos.

Spoiler for players:
I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas on how to handle the getting lost in the city idea. The party has just arrived in the city and finished their first major battle. I know that the module suggests turning a map 90 or 180 degrees after a rest or battle and then giving further directions, but I was looking for a way that would make it more interesting and not so trite that an astute party member would recognize immediately that they were being given false directions and seek immediately to solve it, turning this chaotic environment into a minor inconvenience.

This has the added difficulty of GMing 6 experienced PCs so they are excitedly moving around, but never beyond sight of one another, or putting themselves in a situation that would allow them to be separated or picked off easily.

Thanks in advance.
