As with area 323, eight shadows lurk
herein, waiting for the return of the Temple's

The strongest shadow carries a

graven with the glyphs of Iuz and
Zuggtmoy.
<place the glyphs, here>
This device gives immunity from all

The 4 black metal sconces are solid silver,
each weighing 100 gp and worth 50 gp
due to their workmanship; if badly dam
