## [6] Nalam's Sanctuary
> There is a statue of a Chee in this room, it doesn't appear to be overly masculine or feminine. There is an engraving at the foot of the statue. There appear to be a few treasure chests here, tantalizingly available and unguarded.
The statue is of Nalam, a hero of Miau's past. If players don't already know about the statue, its finger will be pointing to where the chapel is.
The two smaller chests are unguarded and have 80 gold per player, one of them has a silk choker (worth 60 gold). The bigger chest has a dwarven waraxe (2 weight, +1 damage, +2 damage against short targets, worth 300 gold) and is booby-trapped with poison.
There is a small urn in this room that has ashes in it.
## [7] Chapel Entrance

The doors look like they could open with ease.
## [9] Ocean Inlet
> You walk into this room and see that your path is above a small pool. There looks like there is a treasure chest on an islet in the pool. Some rope might be useful to get yourself down to the water. Hopefully there isn't anything dangerous in it.
### [8] Islet Chest
The chest is trapped with a spike trap. If the trap goes off it does 1d6 piercing damage.

## [16] Mideastern Arterial Passage
