Smugglers Caves underneath Deedesveld Graveyard

A relatively well hidden entrance, accessible only at low tide, opens up to a number of both natural and man-made chambers.

The group found a few smugglers here, dealing in expensive and exclusive fabrics. They seemed to be more of a middle-class bend rather than the rough-cut smugglers they know.

After handling them a bit roughly, they coughed up the name of their leader: Thijs Modegekker.

Oddly enough, they claimed to have no knowledge of the attack on Olaf's boat, which had resulted in the group discovering this hide-out.

At the north end, up a flight of carved steps, they found a stone slab above their heads, that seems to be operated by a lever set into the wall.

Quite some time after their first venture into the caves, Rikkert's crew found out that this smuggler cove was larger than first thought, hiding another set of caverns behind them. From here Andries "The Fish" ran his smuggling operation, keeping an eye on Modegekker's small-time set-up, planning to use his as a scapegoat if anything ever would go wrong.

After the fall of Grossbart, Goran's crew took the operation of the smugglers cave over, and started to  run the Black Lotus trade in the city.
