Abandoned Bandit Syndicate Hideout
After the Burning of Kadesh, the Bandit Syndicate was left without a base of operations. With the Empire having taken over the sectors that once belonged to the Syndicate, they needed to find a new, hidden, area of operation.
Thankfully, the Bandit Syndicate had the Wanadead, and they had Marwin O'Telep's map of the sewers. Using this, they found an area located in Wizard's Ward that could provide them with some secrecy and give them time to plan their next move against the Empire.
However, it seemed that this base wasn't as protected as they believed, as the Empire attacked it and drove them out only 8 days after they set up camp. This proved to be very illuminating to the fact that they did indeed have a mole in their midst.
After the Bandit Syndicate left in a hurry, the hideout was abandoned, along with anything the Bandit Syndicate may have left behind.
Purpose / Function
Used as a storeroom in its first life. This cellar became the hideout of what remained of the Bandit Syndicate.
Alterations
The cellar connects to the sewer through a small passage, allowing for quick escapes and drop-offs.
Architecture
This cellar sports a central room, with three rooms connecting off it. The first room, long and narrow, used as storage and as a place to sleep by the Bandit Syndicate. The second, a square shaped room, with a connected opening to deep underground. Finally, the third room, a very small room, with a ladder leading to the surface.
On the surface, what was once a two story house, lies in ruin. Though the rubble does conceal the cellar entrance.
History
Built in a late addition to Kadesh, that would one day become Wizard's Ward, this house/cellar, was designed as a place of business. While many shops came and went, the last shop, Todrin's Shack of Wonders, was the last to take its place before being abandoned.
Todrin's was a gift shop/museum meant to commemorate the history of Exodus, though it was all fact stuff. However, in the cellar, which connected to the sewers, Todrin sold black market items to the Bandit Syndicate and other people who needed things not normally found on the surface.
Unfortunately, it seemed karma caught up to Todrin, as while he was expanding his cellar and his operations, he discovered a tunnel to the Un'derdurn. Not wanting to risk the dangers that that implied, he called the guards to deal with it. When they arrived, however, to deal with the hole, they found his black market operation and arrested him.
Instead of dealing with hole, they simply collapsed the building and left it to rot.
