Some questions and some help needed

[Shadewe]

Hello all,

First off, I'm not a EQ vet and not much of a MMORPG person, but trying this for something new.

Anyway, I'm playing a dark elf and I read about the tunnels under Freeport. How do you get there? I'm currently running back to Neriak to sell, and it's getting old fast.

Second, is there a way to get your stuff back if it's in a terrible spot? I died trying to sell my stuff and, long story short, my corpse is too close to someone hostile and I can't for the life of me get my meager belongings back.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
