Duh....There is NO TUNNEL...a tunnel is a passage dug into/through something...
What you are looking for is a Portico...or Passageway part of the constructed building...
It is located on the second floor from the top of the building...It's just a passageway right
through the building....(just part of the structure) It's NOT under any steps....just swim through !
This entire log is filled with garbage comments....

Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
Vicious louts... they did a lot of damage with those spears. <The captain winces slightly as he clutches a wound on his side.> We'll hold here as long as we can for all the men to make it. I need someone to scout their numbers to see how much damage we did. One of the biggest groups of them was around the corner on the northwest portion of this round terrace, and the other was a bit farther to the north in the small tunnel, also on this middle level of the ruins. Up for some scouting?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fallen But Not Forgotten
That was a disaster! Most of our men went down to spears before making it anywhere near the rendezvous. We're only going to be able to hold this position for so long before the naga overrun us.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Visions of the Past: The Slaughter of Biel'aran Ridge
Look, I know this is asking a lot during a time like this, but I need you to tear yourself away from this defeat for a moment. I will tend to these soldiers - you need to find the location of that battle with the Kvaldir General to the west that you told me about.
