The main chamber is filled with chests surrounding an open sarcophagus. A hidden (DC 10) locked (DC 20) door on the north wall opens to a second room.

Your party won't be {{cond|Surprised}}, but will be inflicted with the {{cond|Spell Rot}} curse (undead, such as {{CharLink|Astarion}}, and wizards of [[Necromancy School|Necromancy school]] will not receive this condition; climbing on the pillar in the north-western corner also removes spell rot temporarily). Spell rot causes each character to take {{DamageText|2d6|Necrotic}} damage per spell level every time they cast a spell (cantrips don't trigger the curse). The curse will be removed when you leave the lair. While the curse can be removed using [[Remove Curse]], it only removes it for 3 combat rounds (or 18 seconds out of combat) before being re-applied. | ||
