 ====Hidden northern room====
-If you entered the Vault from [[Ramazith's Tower]], you will begin in the hidden northern room. Otherwise, the room can be found behind a wall just north of the entry portal to the vault, locked behind a hidden button {{coords|369|1034}} (requires a DC 15 Perception check to reveal). This room holds {{SmIconLink|Book Special B Unfaded Icon.png|The Red Knight's Final Stratagem}} and several chests and crates full of items.

+====Yafeu and the djinni's room====
 In the transitional hallway between the portal room and the hidden northern room, walk up to the eastern wooden chest to discover an illusory wall {{coords|374|1039}}. The room behind this wall contains a Peculiar Lamp.
-Clicking on the Peculiar Lamp swaps you with whoever is currently stuck in the lamp (initially, [[Yafeu]] the [[Djinni]]). The character who clicked on the lamp is now stuck inside. ''"See: Escape Tactics" below for known methods of escape.''
+Interacting with the Peculiar Lamp swaps the interacting party member with whoever is currently stuck in the lamp (initially, [[Yafeu]] the [[Djinni]]). The party member who interacted with the lamp is now stuck inside.
-You may also choose to fight [[Yafeu]] when he tries to leave, though he only grants 250xp and does not drop any items. Note: It can be a convenient tactic to swap in and out of the lamp between turns, because inside the lamp is considered a separate region which results in refreshing the actions for those who are swapping causing you to defeat Yafeu before he's able to attack again.

-*Summon any creature ([[Mage Hand]] works as well) and have them drag to move the lamp (the game will not let you take the throw action on the lamp) to swap places with your trapped character. Dismissing the trapped summon will destroy the lamp, assuming it was the only occupant.

The party member in the lamp is then transported out while Scratch remains inside. After taking a [[Short Rest]] right there and then summoning Scratch again from outside the lamp, he will appear. Then a dead duplicate of Scratch will replace the lamp for a moment before disintegrating.
