The men laugh at the woman.  Their laughter echoing down the smuggler tunnels.  In a rush water pushes up through the ground from underneath the woman.  It rises quickly as their eyes grow wide with wonder.  Soon a wall of water presses against the sides of the tunnel and moves at great speed towards the men who get caught up in the water being pushed the 200 feet out to see within moments.  Many never learned to swim and drown, a few live to tell the tale which spreads widely throughout the town in the coming days, though nothing exists to corroborate their story. [3,3,2, water, push]

After the water has fled the walls of the tunnels look as if they are sagging from the immense pressure the tidal wave generated.  Some sections collapse as their support timbers were pushed out to sea.  Entire sections of the system are now completely impassable.
