*[[Reithwin Town]]
{{CharLink|Raphael}} will be waiting for the party near the entrance, practising his monologue for the party. If {{CharLink|Astarion}} is present, he will ask Raphael about his back markings. Raphael says he will help Astarion in return for killing someone in the Mausoleum for him. Either way, this will begin the quest {{Quest|Kill Raphael's Old Enemy}}.
*[[Gauntlet of Shar]]


===Exterior===
Down the cliffs just northeast of the Grand Mausoleum, a band of [[Cursed Kuo-Toa]] led by [[Cursed Kuo-Toa Chief]] ×1-2 guard the waterside. The chiefs each drop {{SmRarityItem|Lightning Jabber|Lightning Jabbers}}. Further along the riverbank is the entrance to the [[House of Healing Morgue#Ominous crevice|Ominous Crevice]].
[[Raphael]] will be waiting for the party near the entrance, practising his monologue for the player. If [[Astarion]] is present, he will ask Raphael about his back markings. Raphael says he will help Astarion in return for killing someone in the Mausoleum for him. Either way, this will begin the quest [[Kill Raphael's Old Enemy]].

Past the iron fence is a talking skull asking for {{CharLink|Nere}}, {{CharLink|Z'rell}}, and {{CharLink|Minthara}} to leave. Interacting with it does nothing.
 
Melodia Thorm's sarcophagus rests centrally in the room, as well as {{SmRarityItem|Diary of Ketheric Thorm, Vol 1}}. In the west wing, the bones of additional Thorm relatives are desecrated, shaped into profane sculptures. {{SmRarityItem|Diary of Ketheric Thorm, Vol 2}} can be found among these.


Nearby is Melodia Thorm's sarcophagus, as wel as part one of Ketheric Thorm’s diary. Part two is found in the west wing.
The east wing has a symbol of Myrkul ({{Ability check|Religion|18}}) and a locked Traveller’s Chest at {{Coords|-259|-882}}. It can be opened with a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|14}} and contains the {{SmRarityItem|Vivacious Cloak}}. {{RarityItem|Stained Book (Thorm Mausoleum)|alias=Stained Book}} and {{RarityItem|Diary of Ketheric Thorm, Vol 3}} can be found in this wing.


The east wing has a symbol of Myrkul ({{Ability check|Religion|18}}) and a locked Traveller’s Chest at {{Coords|-259|-882}}. It has a lockpicking DC of 14 and contains the [[Vivacious Cloak]].
The North Wing has a plaque here reveals that {{CharLink|Isobel Thorm}} is Ketheric’s daughter and that the tomb here belongs to her. Successful {{Ability check|Perception|10}} here will reveal traps on the vents and tiles on the floor, as well as gargoyle heads on the walls, all around the room. However, traipsing haphazardly across the traps won't have any ill consequences, revealing that they were previously disarmed. The party can still disarm them again if they choose.

This will open up the walls beside the Ketheric Thorm painting, revealing a lift with a glowing Traversal Gem.

A buried chest containing minor random loot can be found ({{Ability check|Survival|18}}) at {{Coords|273|818}}. Interacting with the Traversal Gem on the lift will take the party to the Gauntlet of Shar.
