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 unlocking the door 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 [[Astarion]], will not receive this condition). 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.

The curse will be removed when you leave the lair.  While the curse can be removed using [[Remove Curse]], it only removes it for 3 combat rounds (or 18 seconds out of combat) before being re-applied.


The northern door leads to a workshop with a chopped up body and a dead half-elf. The [[Jar of Mystic Carrion's Brain]] is found on the central table, while [[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 [[Funerary Jar Form and Function]] on the nearby table, you will find out that [[Mystic Carrion]] has hidden his heart in a zombie ([[Thrumbo]]).

A ladder to the north of the workshop leads back to the [[Undercity Ruins]] in a small previously inaccessible room north of the [[Voiceless Penitent Bareki]].
