Ancient Prison (B6)
This large chamber was once a prison, as evidenced by the twenty cells lining its perimeter. A rickety wooden platform overlooks the room, with two staircases descending to the prison floor ten feet below. A five-foot-wide wooden walkway extends from the northern platform to an eastern passageway. Though the wood appears old and worn, it remains stable due to an ancient Thassilonian preservative magic that has kept it intact through the ages. The same magic has also prevented the skeletons in the cells—former prisoners, mostly agents of Shalast who ventured too close to Bakrakhani holdings—from crumbling entirely to dust. Two sinspawn lurk here. If an alarm has been raised, they hide in the rafters beneath the platform, waiting to ambush anyone who strays too close. If the alarm hasn’t been sounded, they bicker in the eastern part of the room over crumbling skulls stolen from the remains in the surrounding cells, their guttural snarls echoing through the ancient prison.
Ancient Study (B8)
The crumbling remnants of chairs and a long table clutter the floor, remnants of what was once a study. To the south, three stone doors stand, each marked with a strange seven-pointed star. Time and Erylium’s centuries of frustration have left this place in ruin. Scattered among the rubble are countless fragments of books and scrolls, their spiky script now illegible. Once part of the Scribbler’s library, these texts fueled Erylium’s knowledge of witchcraft and devotion to Lamashtu, but now they are worthless. The three southern doors lead to ancient prison cells. Within each lies a skeleton of a deformed humanoid—one with three arms, another with an enormous skull, and a third whose ribcage extends to its pelvis, with stunted leg bones below. A DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check while searching the ruined pages uncovers a hidden treasure—a scroll of *flaming sphere* (3rd level)—tucked beneath the remains of a shattered chair.
Blocked Stairs (B10)
This twisting flight of spiral stairs once led down to even deeper complexes below Sandpoint, but like the flight of stairs leading up from area B5, this route was closed by the ancient cataclysm. In time, this rubble will be cleared, in which case these stairs lead to the Scribbler’s realm in Lamashtu’s Shrine.

Marble tables are used to shape raw glass, while wooden tables hold tools of the trade. The main furnace in the northeast burns with a hot blue alchemical fire, melting glass and occasionally disposing of evidence for Sczarni thugs—its heat incinerates bones and teeth. A creature forced inside takes 6d6 fire damage per round, though the narrow opening makes it difficult. The furnace’s stone pipes extend southwest, leading to smaller, cooler furnaces that regulate glass temperatures. When the PCs arrive, they find a gruesome scene of goblin boredom. Eight murdered staff lie in various stages of dismemberment, their limbs burned in the furnace.

The air is tinged with a faint, unpleasant odor, and seagulls often loiter nearby, scavenging for scraps.

Junker’s Edge
Garbage gathered by Gorvi's boys is routinely dumped over the edge of this cliff to gather on the beach below. Several of the town's Gozreh worshipers (in particular Hannah Velerin) rankle at this practice, but until an equally cost-effective and convenient option is presented, the town council is reluctant to change its ways. In any event, the sea generally makes short work of the junk, ensuring it never piles up too high. Unknown to the citizens of Sandpoint, another reason the garbage never grows too high is the fact that goblins from the Seven Tooth tribe regularly sneak along the coast to raid the beach for bits of metal, scraps of food, not-quite-broken tools, and other "valuable" prizes. As a result, the Seven Tooth goblins have made a name for themselves among the local goblin tribes as the best traders.

Preperation (A15)
The primary agents for glassmaking (sand, soda ash, and lime) are prepared here.
Prisoner Pits (B9)
The ceiling of this unnaturally cold chamber arches to a vaulted height of twenty feet. The floor is scattered with eleven wooden lids, haphazardly covering pits in the ground. From the darkness below, eerie shuffling sounds and low moans echo upward. Each pit is 20 feet deep, and the fragile wooden covers collapse under any weight. A DC 13 Dexterity save allows a character to leap to safety; failure results in a fall and a grim fate. Each pit holds a human zombie, undead remnants from an age long past, their flesh sustained by ancient necromantic magic. Once, the Bakrakhani used these pits to torment prisoners—now they serve as Erylium’s playthings. Among them lurks Koruvus, a former Seven Tooth goblin hero. Twisted by drinking from Lamashtu’s altar, he is now a monstrous, insane servant of Erylium. Though she quickly grew weary of him, she tasked him with guarding her "flock" here.

Secret Office (A22)
Once used by smugglers to track their illicit businesses, this room served Tsuto Kaijitsu for the past few days as a place to orchestrate his actions in Sandpoint. After murdering his father and imprisoning his sister, Tsuto drank himself to sleep in this room. He likely wakes when a goblin f leeing from the PCs races down here to warn him of trouble.
Smugglers entrance (A23)
The long tunnel from this room winds through the bedrock below Sandpoint, stretching over 1,750 feet northeast before ending at a dead wall. Built by smugglers decades ago, the tunnel remains stable. A DC 15 Perception check reveals a secret door leading to a 30-foot cave overlooking the Varisian Gulf. The cave slopes to a narrow beach, littered with goblin beds and remnants of meals. Two side tunnels branch off the southern half. One, leading east, collapses after 400 feet—it once reached the Turandarok River. The western tunnel was bricked over where it diverged. It runs 50 feet west, then turns north for 100 feet. Smugglers dug it, hoping to break into the garrison basement to smuggle prisoners for profit. Instead, they found the Catacombs of Wrath. Horrified by what they saw, they sealed the tunnel and never spoke of it again. Recently, Nualia tore down the bricks, forging a pact with the quasit queen who lurked within.
Stairs (A18)
These stairs lead down to the beach below.
Stairs (B5)
A flight of spiral stairs winds up around a circular pillar into darkness above. These stairs once led up to a small vault on the surface, but when Thassilon fell, that structure collapsed. If the PCs somehow manage to dig their way up through the 30 feet of rock between the top of the stairs and the surface, they find themselves emerging in an alley in the cluster of buildings between Tower Street and Junker’s Way. Narrow fissures remain in the stone, helping to keep (relatively) fresh air in the catacombs, and providing a route for Erylium’s familiar to come and go.
Stewarts quarters (A5)
Lonjiku’s staff of skilled laborers lived on site; the eight workers slept here. The beds are all in various states of disarray and blood is spattered over the walls and sheets.

Storeroom (A21)
This storage room, once filled with forgotten crates and unused tools, now serves a darker purpose. Dust clings to the air, the only light coming from a dim lantern set atop an overturned box. Thick ropes and a discarded blindfold lie on the cold stone floor—waiting. The door is reinforced and locked, its purpose clear. This is an impromptu holding cell, prepared by Tsuto for his sister, Ameiko, should she answer the letter he plans to send. The room is eerily quiet, as if expecting its next unwilling occupant. Footprints in the dust suggest recent activity—someone has been pacing, preparing… waiting. If the party has spent enough time in Sandpoint, Tsuto sends a heartfelt letter to Ameiko, requesting a private meeting in the Glassworks basement. The letter is persuasive, appealing to their shared past and his supposed regrets. If she goes, he ambushes her, binds her, and locks her here as a bargaining tool or a final severance from Sandpoint. She leaves the letter at her inn.
Storeroom 2 (A4)
Tools, clothing for servants, firewood, and other miscellaneous supplies are kept here.

Hemlock suspects little—maybe a trapped goblin—but wants to appraise the heroes. As they walk, he thanks them for their aid and asks about their future plans, hoping to build an alliance. At the Boneyard, he has Zantus wait at the Cathedral while the heroes help investigate. The 20-foot vault’s door is open, and the ground is churned up. A DC 12 Perception check reveals goblin and humanoid footprints. Inside, two animate dead scrolls were used to raise skeletons, left as a deadly trap. They attack immediately.
