Description

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.
