1. You will also hear a woman trapped in a mind flayer pod thudding against its glass encasing. It's [[Shadowheart]], who will suggest you try to use the contraption next to the pod to get it opened. Looking at said contraption will reveal that there is an empty socket of some sort. You need an object to fit in there. Aside Shadowheart's pod, there is a backpack with some minor riches in it like some gold and an [[Agate]]. | 1.

2. To the south, there's a table with various objects on it: a [[Burnished Necklace]], a [[Scoll of Inflict Wounds]], a [[Scroll of False Life]], and a locked [[Elaborate Reliquary]]. You might be able to pick the lock of the reliquary, otherwise you can look for the key (see below). It will contain 15gp, an [[Onyx]], and an [[Eldritch Rune]] that can be inserted into the control panel of Shadowheart's pod to free her. If you have Lae'zel as a companion, Shadowheart will be a little snarky, but either way she asks to join you as a companion. You can also free her '''without''' using the rune if you're a Warlock or a Sorcerer, by passing an Arcana check on the machine. | 2.

3. Going back towards the entrance, you can look at the sigils on the control panel. Each will trigger an [[Ability Check|Arcana check]] to allow you to read it. The left one says "Unleash," the middle one "Aggression," and the right one "Annihilate." The Unleash button apparently makes psionic energy radiate from the two knocked out cultists, but it's unclear what use this has. (It does not allow you to talk to them. This might be just unimplemented yet.) The Aggression button will make them attack you, and Annihilate will, unsurprisingly, kill them. Making them attack you and then defeating them gives you 1 XP each if you're into that. Looting them can also be done by just pressing Annihilate. They hold 3gp in total, a [[Quill]], and a [[Small Bottle]]; in other words, junk. | 3. Going back towards the entrance, you can look at the sigils on the control panel.
