Lookout Post

You see a carefully camouflaged hollow platform that is currently empty, apart from the remains of a half-eaten mushroom and mustard sandwich wrapped in brown paper and a small clay jug half-filled with water. You can see a carefully concealed narrow tunnel leading into the tree

Description
The branch conceals a camouflaged lookout platform and is itself hollow, allowing access down a narrow, steep tunnel to Area 7. Spotting this lookout post from below requires a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Perception) check. Characters who climb the tree spot the lookout post with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check (or a Passive Perception of 15 or higher), as do characters who look at the branch from the top of the stump or from the air (such as through the eyes of a familiar). A character who actually climbs onto the branch discovers it automatically. The lookout post is a simple level platform on the branch, capable of accommodating two Small creatures or one Medium creature at a time. The tunnel, its entrance mostly hidden by moss, connects the lookout post to Area 7. It is 15 feet long, about 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide, and completely dark – creatures without Darkvision are Blind in this area unless light is provided. Medium creatures must crawl up or down it at half speed. Small or Tiny creatures can pass through at normal speed. The tunnel is impassible to creatures of larger than Medium size. The lookout post is currently empty, apart from the remains of a half-eaten mushroom and mustard sandwich wrapped in brown paper and a small clay jug half-filled with water. The gnome lookout heard a commotion from inside Coppercoil and went down the tunnel to investigate; he was killed by the duergar and his body is in Area 1. The duergar in Area 2 do not expect anybody to enter from the lookout tunnel, and characters who use this entrance to Coppercoil may be able to catch them by surprise.

Location
