Behind heavy oak doors to the north lies a large, overgrown chamber centered around an imposing, skeletal statue. A {{Ability Check|Religion|15}} identifies the statue as Jergal, the divine scribe and former greater deity of death. There is a hidden button to the west of the statue at {{Coords|298|-232}}; a {{Ability Check|Perception|7}} highlights the button, but is not necessary to reveal it. When pressed, a secret door beside the button will open and the skeletons in the room (four [[Entombed Scribe]]s and one [[Entombed Warrior]]) will come to life and attack the party. | Behind heavy oak doors to the north lies a large, overgrown chamber centered around an imposing, skeletal statue.

In a small room west of the shrine can be found a {{SmRarityItem|Soul Coin}} in a sarcophagus. Reading the book {{SmRarityItem|Book of Dead Gods}} requires a successful Arcana or Intelligence Check (if wizard) or Wisdom (if Cleric or Paladin), followed by a Religion ([[DC]] 10) and Investigation ([[DC]] 10) check; succeeding earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|21x21px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] ''Secrets of the Sundering'' ([[Sage]] background) and ''Divinity Undone'' ([[Acolyte]] background). | In a small room west of the shrine can be found a {{SmRarityItem|Soul Coin}} in a sarcophagus.
