Have someone in your group run up the stairs on either side of the exit. This gives you a better camera angle to aim at Moonstone at the head of the staff held by the statue in the outpost. Fire a ranged attack at the moonstone itself – it’s easy to hit since it’s an inanimate object and only has 1 hit point.
Once disabled, you must pass a DC 20 Dexterity check to unlock the portcullis. Once unlocked, you can continue exploring the Underdark to find the Adamantine Forge, the Arcane Tower, and a series of lit (or unlit) tunnels that live up to the name of this vast cave system.
