Rooms
Trapped sarcophagus
The southern room with a sarcophagus in the middle is heavily trapped. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will start firing firebolts into the room. Meanwhile, gas vents will start pouring flammable gas into the room, and Grease traps will flood the ground with slippery, difficult Terrain and additional flammable surfaces. All of these traps require Perception checks (DC: 15) to spot. On the middle pillar on the eastern side of the room is a button that will turn off the traps once triggered; it also requires a perception check to spot.
- The gas vents can be blocked by placing crates, vases, and other similar items on top of them.
- The vents, grease traps, and gargoyle heads can also be disarmed using a Trap Disarm Toolkit. Given the number of traps, the dearth of toolkits the party will likely have at this early stage of the game, and the fact that a toolkit will be consumed and the trap will be triggered if the attempt fails, this can be a risky option.
Shrine of Jergal
Behind heavy oak doors to the north lies a large, overgrown chamber centered around an imposing, skeletal statue. A successful Religion check (DC: 15) identifies the statue as Jergal, the divine scribe and former greater deity of death. There is a hidden button to the west of the statue at X: 298 Y: -232. When pressed, a secret door beside the button will open and the skeletons in the room (four Entombed Scribes and one Entombed Warrior) will come to life and attack the party.
- The enemies can be disarmed before triggering the fight by looting their weapons. This is more useful against the warrior, as the scribes will rarely attack with their staves.
- The enemies can be thrown into a pile before triggering the trap. However, moving them causes the battle to start immediately.
Camp followers
- Withers will emerge from a sarcophagus in the secret room, if the sarcophagus is interacted with. He will ask the player a question and then later join the player in their camp. Withers will offer resurrection, hireling, and respec services in the camp. Withers will eventually show up in camp even without visiting the Dank Crypt.
