Traps

Trapped Sarcophagus

The southern room with a sarcophagus in the middle is heavily trapped. When the sarcophagus is opened, gargoyle heads lining the west and east walls will start firing firebolts into the room. Meanwhile, gas vents will start pouring flammable gas into the room. Both the heads and the vents require a perception check to spot. On the middle pillar on the eastern side of the room is a button that will turn off the trap once triggered. This button also requires a perception check to spot.

• The gas vents can be blocked by placing crates, vases, and other similar items on top of them.
• The gas vents and gargoyle heads can also be disarmed using a Trap Disarm Toolkit.

Shrine of Jergal

There is a hidden button up the stairs on the western side of the statue of Jergal in the north room. When pressed, a secret door beside the button will open and the Entombed Scribes and Entombed Warriors in the room will come to life and attack the party.

• The Entombed Scribes and Entombed Warriors can be disarmed before triggering the trap by looting their weapons.
• The Entombed Scribes and Entombed Warriors can be thrown into a pile before triggering the trap. However, moving them causes the battle to start immediately.
