Reaching the Overgrown Tunnel

The Overgrown Tunnel is an optional dungeon. It is reached by passing through an illusory wall found in the Riverside Teahouse. The back wall of the fireplace can be passed through, and leads to this location.

Entrance Gallery

The Entrance Galley of the tunnel.

The Entrance Gallery is the first of the three main sections of the dungeon. What remains of previous victims of the hag, Auntie Ethel, are scattered about the area. Some yet still live. Speak with Dead can reveal some of their pasts.

Access to the rest of the dungeon is blocked off by a Gnarled Door. The door is one of the hag's previous victims, transformed. The player can speak with it and succeed at persuading or intimidating it to allow them them through. This door will reveal that it is an illusion. Alternatively, wearing one of the nearby Whispering Masks will reveal the true nature of the door.


Overgrown Tunnel

The next room is unmarked on the map, labeled only as the Overgrown Tunnel. This section of the dungeon, past the Gnarled Door, contains four more previous victims of the hag.

The Descent

Past the four masked victims is a waterfall. Jumping through the water will bring the party to final part of the Overgrown Tunnel section of the dungeon. This area is a steep descent down to the Ancient Abode, covered with climbable vines and many traps.

The next part of the hag's lair, the Ancient Abode, is at the end of the descent.

Traps

  • Ruptured Stone - These traps emit Noxious Fumes. The stones resemble piles of rocks, and can be covered by objects to block the fumes. They can also be disabled with a DC 10 Sleight of Hand check.
    • If Auntie Ethel is later defeated, the Ruptured Stones will stop emitting fumes.
  • Peculiar Flowers - These traps are which are hidden until spotted with a Perception check. They will explode if a party member draws too close. They litter the walkways leading down to the Ancient Abode.

Mushroom Circle

There is a second Gnarled Door that can be reached from the trapped descent. A Whispering Mask is required to gain access to the room beyond. Inside is a Mushroom Circle that will teleport the party to a similar circle in the Underdark, X: 98 Y: -283.
