One path to the Underdark is through the [[Shattered Sanctum]] in the [[Goblin Camp]]. The entrance can be accessed through Priestess {{CharLink|Gut|Gut's}} chambers, but is guarded by her ogre servant {{CharLink|Polma}}. | One path to the Underdark is through the [[Shattered Sanctum]] in the [[Goblin Camp]]. The entrance can be accessed through Priestess {{CharLink|Gut|Gut's}} chambers, but is guarded by her ogre servant {{CharLink|Polma}}. If talking to Gut about a cure for the tadpole infection and then following her to her chambers, she says that a special cleansing potion must be taken first. However, an [[Arcana]] check reveals this is a {{SmRarityItem|Potion of Sleep}}. If she's called out on this, or if the party member in question is resistant to sleeping potions (ie a [[Drow]], [[Elf]] or [[Half-Elf]]), she becomes hostile and also triggers several nearby goblins to become hostile. | ||
However, if the potion is taken (and works), she chains up the party member and says she intends for them to become her pet squid. | |||
It's possible to break free with either an [[Acrobatics]] or a [[Strength]] check, but if nothing is done at all, {{CharLink|Korrilla}} appears from a portal to assassinate both Gut and her Ogre guard. Then she disappears after a brief conversation, warning the party to be more careful. | |||
Once in the [[Defiled Temple]], there is a puzzle blocking the way forward. There are four overlapping circles. The goal is to get the black circles into the southernmost circle.

To use the Zhentarim's entrance, their hideout must first be located. It's in a barn west of [[Waukeen's Rest]], at the shabby door (X:-113, Y:613). The party will automatically be aware of the [[Zhentarim Hideout]] depending on if {{CharLink|Rugan}} and {{CharLink|Olly}} were encountered as part of {{Quest|Find the Missing Shipment}} - either by speaking with Rugan or by asking his corpse questions with {{SAI|Speak with Dead}}. If the party spares Rugan's life, he shares the location of the hideout along with the password need to enter. With a successful perception check, the party notices a man, {{CharLink|Salazon}}, crouching behind some shelves. Reciting the password 'Little serpent, long shadow' has him stand down immediately and provide the key to a wardrobe that leads into the hideout. If the party does not have the password, there are a myriad of other options to get past Salazon: | To use the Zhentarim's entrance, their hideout must first be located.

The party must enter {{CharLink|Auntie Ethel|Auntie Ethel's}} teahouse in the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] (X:-47, Y:266) and use Ethel's illusory fireplace to enter into the [[Overgrown Tunnel]]. The first hurdle is a door of vines. Attempting to use it causes it to telepathically share its story with the party to warn them from proceeding further. An Arcana check reveals that the door is an illusion and can simply be walked through. Otherwise, persuading the door (DC 10) causes it to share its secrets. | The party must enter {{CharLink|Auntie Ethel|Auntie Ethel's}} teahouse in the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] (X:-47, Y:266) and use Ethel's illusory fireplace to enter into the [[Overgrown Tunnel]].

If all of the unaffected party members run away from combat (e.g. back to the Tea House), leaving no one to attack, the remaining mask-affected party member will be able to unequip the mask after making a wisdom saving throw. | ||
Past the Hag Servants is a waterfall and a winding path filled with noxious fumes and explosive traps.
