1. Entrance from Black Wolf Temple II

This is the entrance from the second level of the temple. A Temple Guardian will immediately call forth a group of undead monsters to protect the tomb as you enter.

2. South Chamber

There are three sarcophagi in this room that you should search:

• The first sarcophagus on the left contains a potion of healing and scrolls of colour spray, magic missile and cure light wounds.
• The central sarcophagus contains a skydrop gem, jasper and andar gems, a number of gold pieces, a shield and a potion of stone form.
• The third sarcophagus on the right contains a composite long bow, a scroll of chant and twenty-five gold pieces.

3. North Chamber

There are three sarcophagi in this room that you should search:

• The first sarcophagus on the left contains a number of gold pieces and scrolls of ghoul touch and silence 15' radius.
• The central sarcophagus contains a bloodstone gem, a number of gold pieces, a scroll of shocking grasp and potions of strength and healing.
• The right sarcophagus contains a suit of ancient armour, a potion of strength, a helmet, 2 bottles of tea, and a scroll that will cure moderate wounds.

4. Antechamber

In this room you will be attacked by a skeletal mage, skeletal archers and several spectral knights. Search the bodies of the archers for ammunition and the body of the mage for a pair of bracers.

5. Kresslack

Kresslack will talk to you here, and will discuss his history of battle and conquest, explaining how and why this tomb was built. He'll ask that your party complete a task for him in exchange for information. Kresslack wants you to murder a priestess of Auril, whom he fears will desecrate his tomb and rob it of light and warmth.

You will need to return to the Vale of Shadows to find Lysan, the priestess. When you have slain her, return to Kresselack's Tomb here and tell him you've performed the boon. He will offer you the contents of his sarcophagus: gold pieces, a potion of healing, Kresslack's Sword, a helmet, a suit of plate mail Armour and a random magical item.

You should now return to Kuldahar and speak with a man named Mirek near the Potter's home, and Whitcomb in the Root Cellar Tavern. Lysan has been working at the tavern in disguise, Whitcomb will give you her belongings when he learns this.

Following this, speak to Arundel, who will send you on a search for an ancient druidic scrying stone, the Heartstone Gem.
