=== | === 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 [[Invisibility]].

With six goblins guarding here, there is no way to get by them outside of using [[Invisibility]]. Approaching will lead to you being questioned by [[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 [[Save the Goblin Sazza]], Sazza will help you bypass this point. | ||

==== Branding station ==== | |||
On of the largest sections of the Sanctum where [[Priestess Gut]] brands new devotees to the [[Absolute]]. Here you can meet the cult leader to get the [[Brand of the Absolute]]. If the priestess becomes indisposed for one reason or another, [[Warlock Greez]] can brand members of the party. | On of the largest sections of the Sanctum where [[Priestess Gut]] brands new devotees to the [[Absolute]].

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

==== Zhent storeroom ==== | ==== Zhent storeroom ==== | ||
Starting from the southeastern corner, you will find [[Roah Moonglow]], a [[Zhentarim]] trader alongside some of her partners. She is a useful [[Traders|Trader]] who can reappear in [[Act Two]] at [[Moonrise Towers]]. Behind her is a storeroom holding the cult's large supply of [[Firewine Barrel|Firewine]] and [[Smokepowder Barrel|Smokepowder Barrels]]. There | Starting from the southeastern corner, you will find [[Roah Moonglow]], a [[Zhentarim]] trader alongside some of her partners. She is a useful [[Traders|Trader]] who can reappear in [[Act Two]] at [[Moonrise Towers]]. Behind her is a storeroom holding the cult's large supply of [[Firewine Barrel|Firewine]] and [[Smokepowder Barrel|Smokepowder Barrels]]. There are six of each, more than enough for setting up an explosive trap. Besides fighting past the guards, one can jump down from the rafters above; alternatively small-sized characters can fit through a Rocky Crevice ({{Coords|255|-42}}) from the [[Defiled Temple]] (Temple coordinates:{{Coords|422|17}}). 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]]. | ||
==== Gut's room ==== | ==== Gut's room ==== | ||
Further north is Gut's workroom, where she'll lead a party member as part of her trap. If you don't want to drink her potion, she can be safely killed here so long as she doesn't get the chance to {{SAI|Call for Help}}. One way to guarantee this is to literally 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 [[Enhance Leap]]. | Further north is Gut's workroom, where she'll lead a party member as part of her trap.

==== "Pigeon" cage ==== | ==== "Pigeon" cage ==== | ||
[[Gribbo]] keeps her "pigeon" [[Volo]] locked up in a cage at {{Coords|332|-9}}. The player can trick Gribbo into negotiating his release with an ability check. When Volo is freed, he will immediately head to the party's [[campsite]]. | |||
North of this room is the rickety wooden walkway leading to the [[Worg Pens]]. An iron ladder on the west side of this room connects of Minthara's room. | |||
==== Loviatar's lounge ==== | ==== Loviatar's lounge ==== | ||
In a chamber on the east side of the initiation hall is a shrine dedicated to [[Loviatar]], occupied by her servant [[Abdirak]].

Abdirak can give the player the permanent bonus {{cond|Loviatar's Love}}, provided they subject themselves to his sadomasochistic religious ritual and successfully pass a series of [[Ability check|ability checks]]. | ||
==== Torture rack ==== | ==== Torture rack ==== | ||
[[Liam]], the unfortunate straggler from [[Aradin|Aradin's]] adventuring party, is tied to the torture rack at {{Coords|336|-34}}. He can be spoken to privately by intimidating or manipulating [[Torturer Spike]] into shirking his duties. Spike and [[Lookout Gresh]] will go next door, into [[Abdirak|Abdirak's]] room, if convinced to stop torturing Liam. | |||
=== North === | |||
==== Ragzlin's throne ==== | |||
[[Dror Ragzlin|Dror Ragzlin's]] throne room lies at the north side of the temple. In it, the [[hobgoblin]] warlord [[Speak with Dead|communes]] with a [[Mind Flayer]] corpse. Taking part in this ritual will reveal much about the [[Cult of the Absolute]], but requires ability checks to avoid incriminating yourself as their enemy. The room is layered with a web of shadowed rafters to allow for easy high-ground ambushing. | |||
A glittering pile of loot and treasure lies at the far north end of the room, behind a locked iron gate ({{Ability check|Sleight of hand|18}} or use {{RarityItem|Dror Ragzlin's Key}}). | |||
==== Minthara's war room ==== | |||
The ruthless Drow [[True Soul]] [[Minthara]] and the goblin bosses [[Zurga]], [[Skrut]], and [[Rozzak]] reside in the room directly to the east of the throne room. The room is split by a rickety wooden bridge, held up by destructible wooden supports, and patrolled by a [[Scrying Eye]] that broadcasts activity to the [[Cult of the Absolute|Cult of the Absolute's]] shadowy leadership. Talking to Minthara will give the player the option to launch a raid on the [[Emerald Grove]], either to defeat the goblin forces away from their home turf, or to crush the druids and tieflings in earnest. | |||
An iron ladder on the east side of the room connects to the [[Worg Pens]] antechamber. | |||
