----Notes on the contents of this pack:1- The Main Entrance Tunnel and the Second Entrance Tunnel are the main entrances leading into the depths. You can choose between a human or a monstrous activity.2- There is a third way to enter the buried city: the Cavern of the Mimis.

Note that this passage no longer exists in Chaosium’s V5. But it is very much present in previous versions and in translations by other publishers.

Mimis are flighty creatures that scatter at the slightest breeze. They have the advantage of not being particularly hostile and can let you in (or out) of just about anywhere in the city. Problem: They are terrified of flying polyps and will try to strike a deal with you to close the trapdoor, which would block the creatures for a while. The Cavern of the Mimis has no entrance or exit; it can only be accessed by invitation. And this is done from the desert (the Water Well map, for example).

Also, avoid touching a Mimis or eating what they offer you, or you’ll become one of their kind. Players can reasonably be warned about this—by Jeremy Grogan, for example, in my opinion (“Don’t touch anything!”)3-The city features a series of tunnels, resembling excavations. Here you'll find plenty to explore: darkness, rubble, generators, and the first Yithian doors. They're probably not functional, though I plan to add an interior. One of them leads to the Kakakatak's Chamber4-Shortly after entering through the second entrance, you’ll come across an armored hatch that’s open. However, there are Flying polyps living on the other side. It’s up to you to close it, using both force and logic.

Note that the shape of the shaft differs slightly from the description in the book. To me, this seems inconsistent, because an open hatch as described in the book would simply block the view of what’s happening behind it—especially the hole...5-The Bunkhouse is simply the best hotel in the area—but for the forces of evil.Given the number of Cultists, it’s best to sneak past, though this might trigger a chase through the tunnels.6-The Nursery is a very unsettling place where bodies writhe in pain as they wait to be fed. It isn't really explained that way, but I believe the zombie workers come from here.7-We end with Kakakatak's Chambers, which is nothing more than a prison.This Yithian will be of great help to you. But first, you must free him.

It is also highly likely that if one of your players has been possessed after looking into the Yithian artifact, they will be drawn here, as if by a magnet.In the next Highlight, the interior of the buried city, Huston HQ, Great Plazas----Also:Read my post explaining the highlights here
