The Ritual of Belial and the Map of Treasure

Sunday, 28 April, 2019 10:36

The story culminates with the three of them facing the cultists.
Yuwe will wake up and be briefed by the innkeep about the poisoning and that they just left to face the cultists, BUT the
inkeep has new information regarding all of that. He found out that the cultists, the monsters, are actually partial
demons and the only way to permanently kill them is the hellfire OR silver weapons. He got a few weapons ready for
them: a sickle, a curved sabre, and a khopesh.
She will have to deliver it to the party in time, tracking them through the city. The inkeep knows the last place they went
was the guards post.
The Guard Captain will be hiding in an abandoned warehouse where the three of them will meet. The cultists were
following them and will try and get the Guard Captain before the party saves her.
If the party saves her and locks her with the seal, the cultists will disperse and go away.
If the party doesn't save her, the cultists will take her and they have to follow them deeper underground, to their lair
where they will try the ritual.
Treasure rewards:
The herbalist's amulet - allows the user to sense useful plants in a large radius
The Sunblade - a silvery sword that improves with the wielder
The Dark Desire - a knife which once cutting a person will force them to reveal their desires
The Dacrium ore - a small amount (around 2.6 kg) of ore that in the hands of a blacksmith can create
magnificent alloys - enough for a few items
The ring of Fire - a ring, which once activated creates a barrier of flames around the wielder, burning
everyone who attacks the wielder with 1d6 fire damage
The Wishing Mold - a small mold that can magically copy an item perfectly, together with all of its
enchantments
The inkless quill - saps the user's blood to create ink for itself. The user feels fatigued after writing for
half an hour, loses 1 CON after writing for an hour, and dies of exhaustion after writing for a few hours.
The ink can be read only by those the user names to himself while writing. It can also be revealed
magically but it is not easy.
The ring of regeneration - will regenerate all simple wounds - everything with 4 or less damage, at a rate
of roughly 2hp per hour.

If the ritual fails, all is well, but if it somehow miraculously succeeds, Belial will burst forth and I will have to rewrite most
of the story after. Combat with the cultists

Let's say all goes well and they prevent Belial from rising. That leaves them with nothing to do. Part 1 - the warehouse ambush

BUT they will find a treasure trove with a map in a glass vial. 1 x monstrous cultist (lvl 4) to keep Elmyra occupied
3 x monstrous spider

Part 2 - the cultists' lair

6 x cultist (occupied by the ritual and will only engage if the ritual is somehow interrupted)
3 x cultist guard
