Room, tapestry, dwarven kingdom mountain, ancient.
We’re in the temple of Dumathoin. Looking for tomb of King Malair.
This floor was once a dwarven kingdom. King Malair was the leader.
After a long rest, venturing west out of the main hall. Around a couple of corners there’s an Umberhulk, who’s ruined the bottle storage.
Northwest corner guarded by two metal dwarf statues. Shrine of four deities. The statues represent the dwarven deities Moradin (god of creation), Berronar Truesilver (god of hearth and home), Clangeddin Silverbeard (god of battle), and Marthammor Duin (god of exploration). Tapered brass sylinder on the floor. Part of an instrument? Trumpet piece? Not magical.

Moving on west and south, room with pillars. Stone finds secret doors to the south. Wall opens. Panels. Sarcophagus opens as we enter. Battle axes breaks free from walls and attacks. Lyria kills most with an Ice storm. Valuable crystal panels.
Discussion about what to do, leave the panels and get the duergar to pay for them. Someone coming towards us, invisible. Halaster, casting fireball at everyone except Eric. Eric fighting Umberhulk around the corner.
Halaster turned out to be a grey thing. Two umberhulks? Ruined wall. Large room, doorway with image of a hand pouring ale from a flagon on the south.
Lyria feels treasure to the south west. No secret doors. Back to the axe tomb room. Stone finds a secret door. Lyria finds a pit trap. Stone eventually finds another secret door. Large chamber with four statues of the four dwarven deities.
Lyria hears a voice in her mind promising to aid in revealing the true treasure if the knocks over the statue to the north west. Tiziano helps, devil comes out of the statue and thanks Lyria.

Wondrous item, uncommon While you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. These light boots are made of supple, green leather and accented with dead leaves. They are constantly covered in muck as if the wearer had been walking through ankle‐deep, bloody gore. No amount of cleaning (magical or otherwise) removes the filth.

Notes:Player Handout 2: Ring of Spell Storing Ring of Spell Storing Ring, rare (requires attunement) This ring stores spells cast into it, holding them until the attuned wearer uses them. The ring can store up to 5 levels worth of spells at a time. When found it contains remove curse. Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 5th level into the ring by touching the rig as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can’t hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses. While wearing the ring, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell cast from the ring is no longer stored in it, freeing the space. The ring it appears to be a plain gold band, though tarnished and chipped. When the wearer casts an arcane spell they feel cold and faint of breath (an unsettling experience that causes no damage or condition change). A character may attune to this item in 1 minute.

Wondrous item, uncommon While you wear these boots, your steps make no sound, regardless of the surface you are moving across. You also have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. These light boots are made of supple, green leather and accented with dead leaves. They are constantly covered in muck as if the wearer had been walking through ankle‐deep, bloody gore. No amount of cleaning (magical or otherwise) removes the filth.

DDAL04-08 The Broken One
Notes:Player Handout 2: Ring of Spell Storing Ring of Spell Storing Ring, rare (requires attunement) This ring stores spells cast into it, holding them until the attuned wearer uses them. The ring can store up to 5 levels worth of spells at a time. When found it contains remove curse. Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 5th level into the ring by touching the rig as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can’t hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it uses. While wearing the ring, you can cast any spell stored in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell cast from the ring is no longer stored in it, freeing the space. The ring it appears to be a plain gold band, though tarnished and chipped. When the wearer casts an arcane spell they feel cold and faint of breath (an unsettling experience that causes no damage or condition change). A character may attune to this item in 1 minute.
