'''Dank Crypt''' (also known as the Temple Ruins) is a [[Location]] in [[Chapter One]] strewn with ancient sarcophagi and largely overgrown. One of the walls has collapsed, revealing a seaside cave that leads back to the [[Roadside Cliffs]]. A large statue of the god [[Jergal]] sits in the lower courtyard.

This area can be reached from the [[Refectory]] and the [[Chapel Entrance]], together forming the [[Overgrown Ruins]] dungeon.

===Trapped sarcophagus===
Notable items obtained in this location, whether looted, purchased, or obtained as a quest reward:
The southern room with a sarcophagus in the middle is heavily trapped. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will start firing firebolts into the room. Meanwhile, gas vents will start pouring flammable gas into the room, and [[Grease]] traps will flood the ground with [[Prone (Condition)|slippery]], [[difficult Terrain]] and additional flammable surfaces. All of these traps require {{Ability check|Perception|15}} to spot. On the middle pillar on the eastern side of the room is a button that will turn off the traps once triggered; it also requires a perception check to spot.

* The gas vents can be blocked by placing crates, vases, and other similar items on top of them.
* {{MdRarityItem|Book of Dead Gods}}
* The vents, grease traps, and gargoyle heads can also be disarmed using a [[Trap Disarm Toolkit]]. Given the number of traps, the dearth of toolkits the party will likely have at this early stage of the game, and the fact that a toolkit will be consumed and the trap will be triggered if the attempt fails, this can be a risky option.

===Shrine of Jergal===
Behind heavy oak doors to the north lies a large, overgrown chamber centered around an imposing, skeletal statue. A successful [[Religion]] check (DC: 15) identifies the statue as [[Jergal]], the divine scribe and former greater deity of death. There is a hidden button to the west of the statue at {{Coords|298|-232}}; a [[Perception]] check (DC: 7) highlights the button, but is not necessary to reveal it. When pressed, a secret door beside the button will open and the skeletons in the room (four [[Entombed Scribe]]s and one [[Entombed Warrior]]) will come to life and attack the party.
* The enemies can be disarmed before triggering the fight by looting their weapons. This is more useful against the warrior, as the scribes will rarely attack with their staves.
* Attempting to manipulate the skeleton's positions by picking up or moving the bodies will instantly trigger combat.[[File:Withers Rises.png|thumb|Withers, being awoken from his slumber, asks the player a question.]]
