The Midfern Vault, the centralised gate built into the mountain past the first few guarded, trapped, locked and magically sealed doors the final door to the vault was revealed. It was just a matter of time until it was also breached and then the real treasure could be revealed.
So let’s grab a coffee, ready ourselves and roll into tonight’s adventure!
Midfern Vault

At last the door was revealed. A beam of sunlight from a broken part of the roof revealed the rubble, plants and growth that has set into the rune covered door. The journey to the central Vault door had been dangerous one with several traps; mundane and magical, having been built into the locking mechanism of several rooms which had seen them lose some of the less experienced would be adventurers who had heard the call to fame.
But those that remained stood ready and tested, the final hurdle in front of them
Marcell stood with Carben talking to the other hired help nearby, ready as always, as she read the runes from a distance. She was certain this was the door as no other door had been so heavily protected which made her giddy with excitement. This had to be it, where the elves of the Midfern keep had kept their knowledge of ancient magic and had stored it. There was no other explanation in her mind why it would be guarded as so – unless it was for gold and other wealth.
“I don’t like this.” Carben said next to her as he came back to stand closer by her side. “They are good people, mostly, and they seem to believe that the murals we found earlier in the ruins talk about this door. That the great evil that they defeated was sealed back here.” Carben said in a rushed whisper.
“Don’t be a fool. The elves only put that there to stop people from taking the secrets of their spells and their gold. From what I’ve read the ‘Great Darkness’ was a roving band of orcs that they killed out and then they took that as a sign to seal their strongest weapons, and greatest riches away. The story of the great evil is a myth, a legend that was created to stop people from doing what we are going to. Get our hands on the most powerful magic we have seen and get rich in doing so.” Marcell retorted as she stormed off toward the door. She had come this far that turning back now was simply being foolish.
Thanks for joining me tonight to continue on with the journey. I believe what comes next is pretty self-evident but we will have to wait and see what we have brewing over the next few days before we jump to any conclusions. So don’t forget to come each day this week and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
