I feel like I'm posting here a lot lately, but I'm having a real hard time understanding Blingdenstone in Out of the Abyss. Right now I'm particularly hung up on the Ruby in the Rough. The Book says, " Despite the desecration of the drow invasion and the decades of scavenging and raiding in its aftermath, the old city’s honored dead still rest securely in the catacombs beneath the temple. A passage on the east side of the cavern leads down into this network of small linked caverns accessible only through the temple." Looking at the map there is obviously a small cave that leads down to what I assume are these catacombs, but that doesn't seem to line up wit the portion of the text that says they are only accessible through the temple. Now maybe I'm wrong but I'm assuming the temple is the structure in the middle of the room, but maybe temple refers to the whole area...
Looking at the map, just east of the temple there appears to be stairs leading to a small, kidney shaped, area. I would simply change the end of the sentence to read, "...accessible only through the temple grounds."

Thanks for your interpretation.

that's what i decided as well, it didn't make sense as it was written
