As the party packs up the crates into their Bag of Holding, Azaven watches intently. Xyoddin continues licking his lips, but is exceptionally careful with the valuable wine. “Easy does it, Xyoddin. We wouldn’t want any of the bottles spilling. Not only would it be a terrible waste of delectable wine, but I’m sure these …
As the dust clears, Krask sees what lies behind the secret door. It’s nothing more than some preserved spices. Fobias recognizes the spices as a key part of funeral rites. Krask moves to the next skull, activates it, and opens the next door. The small mound of silk behind it is another component to common …
The party has loot! The woman they fought, Highlady Athroxis, has a bunch of great upgrades for the group. Here’s a brief summary: Trace swaps out his full plate armor for the breastplate and the belt of physical protection Barnaby gets Trace’s hand-me-down belt, the amulet of natural armor, and the ring of protection Fobias …
The party advances on these new threats: a muscular, terrifying woman with her flaming ranseur and a glabrezu demon. Conversation doesn’t seem to be on the menu. Fyn acts quickly, casting communal Stoneskin to give the party some extra protections. In addition, Trace gives himself Protection from Evil. If those two weren’t enough buffs, Trace …
Much to the party’s chagrin, the twelve doors in the room all lead to small closets. None of them contain anything of real note. They’re just your classic storage rooms, and nothing more. After doing a spot of healing, the party advances on the next set of teleportation circles. This one is just like the …
The swirling blue fire eventually subsides, leaving the party at their destination. Another teleportation circle lies beneath them, and a second one off to the side. It appears as though the magic transported them to another location within the Runeforge. Based on the similar architecture, they’re likely in the Halls of Wrath. That’s a relief. …
Before they forget, the party collects a few samples of the water infused with elemental arcana from the Vault of Greed. According to the Peacock Spirit, this might be one of the Runeforge components. Afterwards, it’s onto the Halls of Wrath! As they enter, a barrage of memories hits Fobias. His rage builds as he …
The Silver Man might be defeated, but the party is still in imminent danger. Without knowing the frequency of the green fog, it’s possible that it could return at any minute. Fyn has a way to heal the mental faculties of Krask and Fobias, but it requires rest. The party loots Ordikon’s body, and makes …
The nalfeshnee demon, named Zuvuzeg, welcomes the party into the room. He describes his quarters as a prison. Apparently, Izomandakus bound him here until the demon made the Master Transmuter laugh, cry, shriek, and cheer. Through a long conversation, the party cautiously learns more about the Vault of Greed. Eventually, they come to a decision: …
With their new levels in hand, the party quickly moves through the hallways in the Vault of Greed. They have a sneaking suspicion that their time in the Vault is limited. Once that fog returns, it’s going to be bad news. The first room they arrive at contains an impressive-looking fountain. Once they file into …
