I believe that the beach village was constructed by the gnomes. You see their mining efforts around, their bodies, their leader's journal etc. are all in the huts. Finding the secret runepowder was Wyllis(?) goal, but the BG gnomes seem to have gone to the Underdark for trade goods already. Also, it was my understanding that the Duergar raided their outpost to take them as slaves, because the Absolute is trying to get to the temple there, I don't think the gnomes found the grymforge.

The Zhent tunnels seem to go into the Underdark, perfect for smuggling I suppose, I think their exit will lead to the next area, similarly to the creche exit and the elevator.

There's an elevator at the Zhent cache that I think is supposed to go up to their hideout, not sure.

as always, distances are subjective for as long as they aren't
