Somehow, three area descriptions were left out of the final text for this adventure. Our sincere apologies to everyone for the mistake! We will include the missing text in the 130 Web Enhancement when it is released, but in the meantime I will post it here.
9. Great Pagoda
The inner walls of this wooden, fifty-foot tall pagoda are lit by a supernatural glow, similar to the sun seen from underwater. The pagoda is empty, except for a five-foot tall, square dais in the middle of the floor, where a large gong stands. The gong’s disk hangs from an eight-foot tall frame of lacquered wood, and has a diameter of four feet. The gong’s mallet hangs from one of the four vertical poles of the frame.
The pagoda was used by the Amata no Sei for powerful commune rituals. The gong’s disk is made of pure platinum (see Treasure). When hanging on the frame, the gong’s disk is the equivalent of a gong of dispelling. Each time the gong is sounded, every creature and spell effect in a 30-foot radius is targeted by a dispel magic effect, CL 9th. It has an unlimited number of charges, but may not be removed without destroying its enchantment.
Treasure: The gong’s disk weighs 60 pounds and is worth 12,000 gp for the value of the platinum.10. Entrance
The floor of this entryway is decorated with an abstract but lively mosaic of lacquer tiles. A fifteen-foot wide cupboard stands along the north wall beside a door. Other doors stand closed in the middle of the south wall and east wall.
The cupboard is full of traveling clothes and accessories. A pouch in a hidden recess (Search DC 22) contains the Treasure.
Treasure: 3 vials of elixir of sneaking and a figurine of wondrous power (serpentine owl).11. Stairway
An ornate wooden staircase occupies this room. A mosaic of polychrome colored glass tiles on the thirty-foot high ceiling illuminates the central shaft.
The staircase leads up to the great balcony above (area 23).

I put off reading this adventure since I'm not particularly into Oriental Adventures, however it is quite good, so color me impressed. Nice work, Tito, and thanks for the missing text, Jeremy!
