Looking for a bronze dragon galistae.
Jack, Felix and Stone showed up through a portal.
Investigating room across. Stone found secret room w treasure. He mage handed the potion on top, Lyria tipped over the rest but managed to catch most of it. Chests of coins. Counting coins, taking as much as possible. Potion of Firebreath.
Moving on through the next couple of doors we have completed the circle of this floor. Explored dusty room we passed last time.
A corridor on the west side led to a stair going down.
Stone forgot to take the coin on the first door. Furnished room, a 5” bottle with a ship in it. Portrait of mad mage above. Stone and Jack carrying the bottle.
New door, no coin! Giant fiddle in the corner. Man trapped in it? Felix pushes the fiddle over and breaks it. Naked wizard, Zartem. Was drugged at dinner and trapped. Not hungry.
Maddgoth, a wizard lives here. Zartem comes with us.
Bedroom, canopy bed, chest of drawers. Smelling of charcoal. Charred corpse in the bed, not identifyable. Surroundings not firedamaged. Puff of smoke and giggling in the hallway. Can’t find anyone.
Next door, no coin, no traps. Mindflayer standing completely still, tentacles wiggling. Tiziano had mind conversation with the sword of the mind flayer. Several voices, confusion.
Zartem moves down the corridor to a door and opens it. A voice in our head says, “It was fun while it lasted”. Room, console with 3 levers (up, down and middle pos.). Brass buttons in pentagram w descriptions. “Do not press”.
Levers: Courtyard(up), light (down), heat (up), music, roof, fog, lockdown, do not press.
Fight w Zartem, hiding greatsword under the cloak. Naked wizard w greatsword?
Invisible draconic creature (Stone see it).
Naked wizard falls, revealing a grey slaad. Lyria chases the draconic form, large dragon.
Metallic clunking noise. Mechanical creature coming from North. Big metal hunk is floating in the air. Was killed.
Running after invisible dragons.
Giant fairydragon! (three) Jack kills it.
Checking room, portal, guy with torch. Lyria casts augury and gets voice in head. “I don’t think you should come through here just yet”. Recovers all spent spell slots!
Platinum coin door. Stained glass M.

Troglodytes celebrating to the west.

Door to the south. Temple under restoration. Erik tries to deface a statue of Lolth and is paralyzed and fell down.
Through the next door is a hallway, and further a sick bay. We chase away the sick drow. Storage room next, with a tunnel up north. We go back to check the north door.
North door in hallway leads to council room-ish? Door to bed chamber, and spider room. Tunnel from here leads to some of a maze, one dead end, one tunnel to the storage room. Comes out in a gallery. A cold room with undead to the north, Lyria scares them away. Dead end w dead dwarf and magic gauntlets up north.
Tunnel back, turn further north. Empty Troglodyte lair? Come back round to where we were before, cleaning up a room of zombies eating dead bodies. Moving back further north looking for the “Apprentice” creature. (Muriel)
Long corridor with doors.
Door 1, Eilistrae altar. Hymn playing. The Hymn is the key. D-minor.
Door 2, room of darkness, Vhareun.

Door 4, Kieransalee, goddess of undeath
Door 5, oozes, Ghaunadaur, a god of subterranean horrors,
Altar, two hook horror statues beside the dais, mirror carved to look like Halaster. “Flattery will get you everywhere”. Erik flatters the mirror and a gate opens to a corridor. Erik steps in, and ends up in a shaft, falling 60 ft.
Exploring quarters to the north. Mirror gate with Etched into the bottom of the mirror’s stone frame are the letters T-U-O-Y-A-W.
North, end room with statue. Touch to teleport. Statues in love.
Big room with floor of skulls. Skulls crushing when walking on them. Investigating door to the south. Large room with pillars, and two large drow creatures. In the next room, a Statue of Eilistrae should be holding something. A sword?
Following corridor east and north. Circling around to the large skull room, there are lifelike statues of drow warriors.

The opposite door leads to a large exercise room with a large mirror (gate) to the north. Four dead dwarves in a half circle. Lump in the chest or one appears to be a big emerald with a small imperfection in it shaped like a spider. Worth a decent bit.
Erik not crying and begging for Greater Restoration to be able to heal after going through a gate.

Retrieve a Runestone Fragment
Volothamp Geddarm introduces the characters to a friend of his: a young captain of the City Watch named Jalester Silvermane.
Jalester tells the characters that he wants a fragment of the Runestone saying its recovery will help to ensure Waterdeep’s security. He describes the Runestone as a large, glowing, disk-shaped gem with Halaster’s rune floating in it. It was created by Halasar and secreted away in the depths of Undermountain
He does not mention a monetary reward for delivering a Runestone fragment to him; instead, Jalester offers the characters his lasting friendship—which can bring many benefits, considering his position in the City Watch.

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.

Bedroom, canopy bed, chest of drawers. Smelling of charcoal. Charred corpse in the bed, not identifyable. Surroundings not firedamaged. Puff of smoke and giggling in the hallway. Can’t find anyone.
Next door, no coin, no traps. Mindflayer standing completely still, tentacles wiggling. Tiziano had mind conversation with the sword of the mind flayer. Several voices, confusion.
Zartem moves down the corridor to a door and opens it. A voice in our head says, “It was fun while it lasted”. Room, console with 3 levers (up, down and middle pos.). Brass buttons in pentagram w descriptions. “Do not press”.
Levers: Courtyard(up), light (down), heat (up), music, roof, fog, lockdown, do not press.

North door in hallway leads to council room-ish? Door to bed chamber, and spider room. Tunnel from here leads to some of a maze, one dead end, one tunnel to the storage room. Comes out in a gallery. A cold room with undead to the north, Lyria scares them away. Dead end w dead dwarf and magic gauntlets up north.

Retrieve a Runestone Fragment
Volothamp Geddarm introduces the characters to a friend of his: a young captain of the City Watch named Jalester Silvermane.
Jalester tells the characters that he wants a fragment of the Runestone saying its recovery will help to ensure Waterdeep’s security. He describes the Runestone as a large, glowing, disk-shaped gem with Halaster’s rune floating in it. It was created by Halasar and secreted away in the depths of Undermountain
He does not mention a monetary reward for delivering a Runestone fragment to him; instead, Jalester offers the characters his lasting friendship—which can bring many benefits, considering his position in the City Watch.

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.
