Diggers' Stash

The Digger's Stash is a stockpile of items collected by the various roaming Diggers in the city. It is located beside The City's Dungeons, denoted by a statue and stairway leading underground. Unlike many other areas, it has two related Cases: Digger's Stash, and Stranger's Letters.

The hoard itself contains many gems, metals, statues and valuable items, even some used in gameplay; the Pearl Purse from the Gargoyle's Treasure Collection is even a rendered item next to the Lantern, both obtainable to the player outside of the location.

When entered, your player is looking from an unspecified location. The room seems to be close to a rock wall or cave, as the terrain is very uneven, yet there is a grate for the Sewers and waterway underneath. It is unlikely accessed from the cluttered door in the back.
