Ioun Stone of Fortitude
Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)
When you use an action to toss this stone into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and it confers a benefit to you. Your Constitution score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20, while this pink rhomboid orbits your head.

+3 Scimitar
Weapon (Scimitar), very rare
Formerly owned by an efreeti the sword glows with a dull red if a marid is within 60 feet.

Potion of Vitality
Potion, very rare
When you drink this potion, it removes any exhaustion you are suffering and cures any disease or poison affecting you. For the next 24 hours, you regain the maximum number of hit points for any Hit Die you spend. The potion's crimson liquid regularly pulses with dull light, calling to mind a heartbeat.

Necromancer's Spellbook
This spellbook consists of rigid sheets of vellum bound in pale, white leather. It contains the following wizard spells: animate dead, bestow curse, Bigby’s hand, blight, blindness/deafness, circle of death, cloudkill, dimension door, false life, mage armor, ray of enfeeblement, ray of sickness, stoneskin, vampiric touch, stoneskin.

Mage's Spellbook
The spells of this spellbook are written on sheets of high-quality parchment in golden and silver ink. The pages are bound between plates of blue-painted wood. It contains the following spells: banishment, cone of cold, counterspell, detect magic, detect thoughts, fire shield, fly, globe of invulnerability, lightning bolt, mage armor, magic missile, mind blank, mirror image, misty step, scrying, shield, stoneskin, teleport, time stop, wall of force.

We didn't finish the module the first time, so we finished it up this session ! Characters unlocked both Story Awards, a single soul coin, and a bowl of commanding water elementals (no potion of invisibility).

I ran this module for three hours, so characters earned 60gp, advance a level (if they chose), and earned the Brooch of Shielding as a magic item.

While attending a party held by a member of the Nobles, the party witnesses an unlikely attack by an even more unlikely assailant. Asked to investigate, they soon learn that a painting gifted to the noble's wife might hold the key to understanding what transpired.

Investigating the art, and the artist, soon reveals that his works are inciting dangerous acts throughout the city and inspiring pyromania in those who view them for too long. The party can collect clues from the artist’s home, an art gallery, and a fan of his work. From these clues, they can establish a connection to a single patron who seems surprisingly supportive of the artist's work and who is actually a member of the Cult of the Eternal Flame seeking to spread chaos and destruction in Mulmaster through the artist.

The party can confront the patron as he pursues another scheme, only to realize that the artist has painted
his masterwork by defacing, and thus animating, the magmins that begins to smash its way through the city
until the characters intervene. Once word reaches the City Watch about the actions of the characters and the discovery of members of a Cult of Elemental Evil, they are willing to release Kata Brizik as a victim of magical influence rather than being responsible for her own actions.

If their demands were satisfied, Urdun and Faltyn both pay their rewards to the party. If the party failed them or double-crossed them in some way, they have made potential enemies of them, although Faltyn and the Gos
family is a more dangerous foe than Urdun. Assuming he is not killed, Andrik remains insane but his artistry no longer creates the magical effects it once did now that his greatest work has been completed. His talent flickers and then vanishes completely—leaving him despondent and, for the time being, without purpose.
