Known Traps

Trap DCs

  • Fire trap behind the first secret door, along the stairs; control panel is on the south wall just before the stairs
  • Combined blade trap along hallway to Yarkuch's throne room; control panel is on the west wall just before the trap
  • Spike trap further along the hallway, right in front of the shrine door; control panel is on the east wall just before the trap
  • Blade trap in western secret chamber in Yarkuch's throne room; control panel is on the south wall just before the trap
  • 2 dart traps in the eastern secret chamber in Yarkuch's throne room; trap control panels cannot be located and traps do not active until chest is opened, and then both fire continuously.
