Apothecary's Cellar: Difference between revisions

The '''Apothecary's Cellar''' is a [[Location]] within the Over-world in [[Chapter One]]. It is located underneath the [[Blighted Village]], accessible from the abandoned apothecary building.  {{SpoilerWarning}}

== Area Summery ==

This natural cavern is cluttered with over half a dozen mouldering caskets. If the center most casket is interacted, a [[Agile Guardian]] will burst out, surprising the party. It will quickly begin running off to the other caskets, breaking them open and spawning more undead such as [[Robust Guardian|Robust Guardians]]. A smart approach would be to break the caskets, clearing away the undead before hand along with getting extra experience and loot. Besides the undead, the casket closest to the tunnel leading in will hold the [[Scroll of Summon Quasit]] along with minor valuables.

At the south end of the cave is wooden platform where the magical ornate mirror is. Quite it's magic is dulled, it still blocks the way forward into the hidden lab. For details on bypassing the mirror, go [[Ornate Mirror|here]].

The lab is full of skeleton displays, mounted heads of beasts and even a stuffed bear. To the west end of the room is a store room with barrels full of alchemy supplies and potions. Most important is the [[Rusted Key]], needed to open the vault. There is also a lever that will open a way back to the main cellar room. In the southeastern corner is a chest near the stuffed bear that is full of scrolls {{Coords|-679|-370}}. In a gilded chest in the southwestern corner of the room holds the {{RarityItem|Bracers of Defence}} {{Coords|-656|-371}}. On the east side there is a gated off area which holds the real prize of this lab, {{RarityItem|Necromancy of Thay}}. A {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|15}} can pick the gate lock, though it's simpler to use the key in the storeroom. The book is set on a pressure plate that can be disabled with a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|10}}, however turn based mode can be used to take the book, than replace it with any other book or simply rush out before the fire bolt shooting gargoyle trap is turned on.
