This large cavern is otherwise unremarkable,
except for the fact that a secret one-way passage out of the
stronghold is hidden in the NorthEast corner of the cave. This
secret exit is triggered by pushing on a loose rock within the
wall, at which time the opening occurs in the wall, leading to
the outside world. The opening allows access for only 10 seconds,
at which time it closes once more, and will not be triggered
for another 24 hours.

If characters take advantage of this exit, they will find themselves
on a rock ledge about 3 feet wide and 20 feet long. If
they use ropes to scale down, they can rappel without too
much difficulty to a location some 40 feet below where the
drop is less steep and a descent can be made through the
trees and vegetation toward the valley below. If the characters
stand on the ledge and observe the view, they will notice
that they are on the North face of the massive outcropping
which houses the stronghold, whereas the other entrance is
on the South face. Because of the wilderness which surrounds
the entire area, it may take some doing to return to civilization
or home.

The secret exit is but a one-way access, and allows only
egress from the stronghold, never entrance. There is no way
to trigger the door from the outside, and even if this were possible,
a permanent magick spell upon the exit totally prevents
movement into the complex via the opening.
