The Pass at Zyr^rin at the top of the Ezkaitz Horma mountains is unforgivably steep, swarming with tribes of wild Twargs and Orc warbands. At the very top of the pass there is a crooked, jagged path the leads even high up. At the end of that path buried between the forbidding peaks lies the ruin of the Tower of Nemyrothys.
Until a few months ago only the occasional storm that had the strength to drive the creatures down from the heights was the only noteworthy event anyone could think of, until recently. A trade caravan just in from Gateway Fortress was heard to tell of what they described as a loud explosion and sounds of combat coming thru the valley at the foot of the pass.
Should an intrepid group of adventurers make the climb to the ruins there is a 30% chance of running into 3 Lg Spiders (MM pg 90, AC 8, HD 1+1) on the small plateau where the broken stones of the tower lie in disarray.
Approximately 30feet down from the edge of the plateau that overlooks the steep drop into the crevasse there is a newly formed hole in the side of the mountain. From the edge of the hole the floor is 20ft down opening into a pentagonal room 60 feet across. The room is empty except for a few small empty barrels with metallic looking black sand scattered about. A stout oak door stands in the middle of the wall opposite the entrance hole. Examination of the inside of the hole will reveal soot around hole. Examination of the small kegs reveals that the black sand is slightly metallic. (Duergar Blasting powder)
