The Tunnels under Shadowdale

The Tunnels are a low-level zone, designed for Newbies. They';re mainly very easy with a few mobs to keep you on your toes. The Sea Hags and Basilisks should be fairly easy but be careful of the Red Dragon in the Dragon's lair (Dl) he's the weakest dragon I've found in Shdaowdale but will still kill you if you're not careful!

You enter The Tunnels at the Cave Entrance (Ce) and can leave them by going up back to the Sewers.

Secret Passage Room (Sp) mentions an exit down when there isn't one. West from the Glittering room takes you to the Stair-room (Sa) but you may not move east to go back. Finally to open the door north from the Blind End Room (Be) use 'open sun' and to open the door east of The Circular Hall (Ch) use 'open green'.

If you'd like to make a quick run to this zone, we recommend the following directions, starting at The Common in Shadowdale: 4e;open grate;2ded3wd.
