==Overview== | |||
[[File:Map Ancient Lair.png|thumb|Map of the Ancient Lair.]] | |||
===Main chamber=== | |||
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. Opening any of the chests or looting the undead or unlocking the door to the Workshop (see below) will trigger an ambush by a horde of undead. 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 {{SAI|Remove Curse}}, it only removes it for 3 combat rounds (or 18 seconds out of combat) before being re-applied. | |||
===Workshop=== | |||
The locked (DC 20) door hidden in the north wall can be revealed with a Perception check. It leads to a workshop with a chopped up body and a dead half-elf. The {{SmRarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Brain}} is found on the central table, while {{SmRarityItem|Jar of Mystic Carrion's Liver}} is in the locked (DC 20) Gilded Chest. Destroying either of the jars will cause a large explosion dealing {{DamageText|8d6|Fire}} damage. Reading the book {{SmRarityItem|Funerary Jar Form and Function}} on the nearby table, you will find out that {{CharLink|Mystic Carrion}} has hidden his heart in a zombie ({{CharLink|Thrumbo}}). | |||
A ladder to the north of the workshop leads back to the [[Undercity Ruins]] in a small previously inaccessible room north of the {{CharLink|Bareki}}. | |||
