Ideas needed for undercity places

Legend
I have my group coming back to the city and have an idea for some yuan-ti to steal something from the local lord, most likely his child to convert. I was planing to use the Dungeon Delve level 6 with yuan-ti for a bit of underground dungeon off the sewer lines but thought there could be more to this undercity.

I am looking for a few ideas to use in place of basic sewers and secret catacombs. A few thoughts I had was a large area where many sewer lines meet, I was thinking 'Seven Points' like in the gangs of new york movie where thieves and assassins battle for this crossroads.

Some other ideas include a cave temple like in the 2nd Indiana Jones movie where the PC's can spy on the ritual as a bit of foreshadow before the fight or so they can see the child taken further into the caves. Another idea includes a whirlpool where most of the sewer lines meet and plunge 100feet into a lake located in a great cave, maybe an island with somethging on it. I was also thinking of some sort of portal that would take the pc's to the yuan-ti island with a medusa of some sorts. I was thinking that the 'stone island' portal idea could bridge the heroic to paragon tiers.

As always, any new or expanded ideas are welcome.

* The PC's could find an actual "mana engine" that can shunt them from city to city, if only they could get it to work.
* The sewers are infested with rats, and ruled by one man who can seem to command the swarms... a rat-king...
* They find a massive stone leg, impossibly large, which hints at the existence of a Colossus. But where is the rest of the body, and what was the Colossus' purpose?
