Fortress Access Tunnel

Secret Entrance

The narrow passage slopes downward into damp earth, the air thick with the scent of damp stone and rusted metal. Flickering bioluminescent fungi cling to the walls, casting long shadows where a Grendel sentry moves with measured silence—its heavy boots pressing into the packed dirt. The single crossbow bolt lodged in the dirt marks the point where Farrah struck first, its unusual ammunition already under scrutiny. This hidden route is no grand doorway, just a forgotten crack in the fortress’s foundations, designed for desperation, not dignity.
