===Entryway===
=== Entryway ===
The main entrance from the [[Goblin Camp]] leads directly into here. With six goblins guarding here, there is no way to get by them outside of using {{Cond|Invisible|Invisibility}}. Approaching will lead to you being questioned by {{CharLink|Trinzas|Warrior Trinzas}}, who can be bypassed through a variety of skill checks, or by being a [[Drow]] (or {{SAI|Disguise Self|disguised}} as a Drow). If you have also progressed {{Quest|Save the Goblin Sazza}}, Sazza will help you bypass this point.

Just north of Gut's shrine is a large spider pit, where the goblins toss in prisoners. If the party ventures into the pit using the lever-operated Iron Gate ({{Coords|298|0}}), they can talk to the pit's denizens [[Larger Giant Spider]] and [[Smaller Giant Spider]]. The spiders can be convinced to spare the party and instead attack the goblins.

Starting from the southeastern corner, you will find {{CharLink|Roah Moonglow}}, a [[Zhentarim]] trader alongside some of her partners.

Behind her is a storeroom holding the cult's large supply of {{SmRarityItem|Firewine Barrel|Firewine Barrels}} and {{SmRarityItem|Smokepowder Barrel|Smokepowder Barrels}}. There are six of each, more than enough for setting up an explosive trap.

Miscellaneous crates in the room can also be searched for [[Grenades]] and [[Coatings|weapon coatings]], and a locked chest ({{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|18}}) can be picked for several hundred [[Gold]].

Further north is Gut's workroom, where she'll lead a party member as part of her trap.

One way to guarantee this is to stymie her screams by casting {{SAI|Silence}}. There is also a way into the locked storeroom through the rafters here, reachable by someone with decent [[Strength]] or mobility spells such as {{SAI|Enhance Leap}}.
