Shattered Sanctum: Difference between revisions

}}

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.  

[[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]].  

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]].  

[[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.

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 reveal the location of the [[Emerald Grove]] and launch a raid, either to defeat the goblin forces away from their home turf, or to crush the druids and tieflings in earnest.

Be warned that if the player saved [[Sazza]] earlier, she will reveal the location of the druid grove automatically. Once the grove's location has been revealed, one way or another, the raid will take place after the next long rest.
