Separate cistern.
The cistern on level 6 lets down into the long cavern passage on level 9. It would be easy for the character party to miss the secret door. The hole in the floor on room 161 on level 9 lets down into the treasure room.
The exit does narrow. It becomes a nondescript opening in the ridge, on the south side of the ridge on the side towards Quasqueton.
Strazl Deathlcaw is responsible for a number of disappearences over the years. One of the rooms, 214, in the cistern down from level 6 room 101 has a teleport area that leads to Falla Keep room JJ, in Fondfield, Trillolara. That room under Falla Keep is a Gashtran spy nest and was discovered in a separate adventure.
The Chaotic Evil spy nest grabbed victim’s for Strazel to torment. In exchange, he let them have the teleport room here, and didn’t kill them.

This group makes forays outside, from time to time, to capture
victims for Strazl to torture. Really despicable bad guys.
There are several clay pots hanging from the ceiling outside the walled areas. They contain monster burn oil. The bow/crossbow users practice hitting them. There are metal and stone shutters to block the flames from the men who live here. After the flames have died down, then the shutters are opened and the survivors are dealt with.
This is part of a spy nest from Gashtra. The rest are under Falla Keep room JJ in Fondfield.
This is an escape route for the ones under Falla Keep, if the Gashtra teleport poles fail. They would still be inside Trillolara for at least 2 days of travel.

The teleport poles lead to room JJ under Falla Keep.
The teleport poles glow green. If this group feels they are going to lose, they will teleport out and key the gate to become a trap.
Trap gate: will send any who pass through it to room L under Falla Keep.
There is a pressure plate, 1’ square, in front of the posts. The first time it is pressed, the trap will remain for 30 turns. As long as the plate is not pushed again, the trap will revert to normal usage. If it is pushed again, the teleport gate is trapped for 24 hours. For every time it is pushed after that, the delay is doubled.
