One located north of the cooking place and the other is located in a torture room behind a secret door, which is opened wit a pull-chain near the rear of the cave.

Whirlwind Sprint can be used to run from the ramp up to the chest area to the rock shelf on the northwest side of the cave where there are two imp stool nodes and a Namira's rot node.
