Overview
This part of the catacombs is where the dead sages and priests of Candlekeep are buried. There aren't a lot of monsters around but there are many traps, some which are difficult to detect. The traps are also non-trivial, meaning that they can do a lot of damage to your party if activated. If you are up to the challenge, however, you can find a lot of loot around. Otherwise you should just go to the next level as quickly as possible.
Note: Red circles indicate floor traps.
