Demon in the Vault

The Demon in the Vault refers to a malefic entity encountered by the Auric Lodge in a ancient lair within the Middenmons. It was a possible source of the cult that Diana Quaesitor Votis had been unravelling.

The Auric Lodge chanced across this lair, fighting their way within until they recognised the signs of Demonic corruption. Hesitating, the group – depleted and tired from earlier fights – made the difficult choice to push on – the Demon could not be allowed to take the initiative.

The fight was brutal, with dense corruption concentrated within the tight confines of the lowest lair. Animated undead, a Deathlock and the Demon itself fought the party in a horrific conditions, the party battling both the physical manifestation of foulness and the insidious corruption. Olo Undergrass perished – run through on the ground – while Ruuk fell into the depths of madness.

The Demon was defeated, and its lair destroyed. Olo Undergrass was buried near the entrance, set to keep watch as the corruption faded from the region, the previously murky waters turning a clear blue, and long dormant flowers bursting through. Ruuk was cleansed in a difficult ceremony.
