Apothecary's Cellar: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

Interacting with any of the other caskets, or proceeding too far into the room without interacting any caskets, will cause an [[Agile Guardian]] to burst out, {{cond|Surprised|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]].

Alternatively, if the party breaks a casket rather than interacting with it, a guardian will still appear but will not achieve surprise over the party. ~~The~~ caskets ~~can thus be cleared for loot~~ and xp ~~with less risk of~~ the ~~combat spiraling out of control~~.

Alternatively, if the party breaks a casket rather than interacting with it, a guardian will still appear but will not achieve surprise over the party. However, this option will prevent guardians from appearing in any other caskets, and the xp and loot for the other five guardians will be forfeited.

At the south end of the cave is wooden platform where the magical ornate mirror is. Although its magic is dulled, it still blocks the way forward into the hidden lab. For details on bypassing the mirror, see [[Ornate Mirror]].
