ADVENTURE OVERVIEW
This adventure is broken down into 3 chapters. The first
chapter should hopefully take anywhere from about 30
minutes to an hour. The second chapter should be the
main component of the adventure. The Lost Vaults ability
to shift around their main floors means you can actually
extend or shorten the second chapter as long or as short as
you want. The third chapter should be when the part
finally runs into the duergar as well as the captured
workers and should be about an hour as well.
 Chapter One: The Research Camp. The party

arrives at the research camp just outside of The
Lost Vaults. They meet with Scribe, as well as
the other researchers and workers, and gather
information about what the Lost Vaults are like,
as well request additional support via items.
 Chapter Two: The Lost Vaults. The party enters
the Lost Vaults and begin dealing with the
Vault’s various traps and golems. The layout of
each floor of the Vault changes at dawn every
morning, meaning there is not remembered
path that any previous worker has used yet.

players arrive in the camp.
The Camp Guards (LN veterans) here at the research camp

are hired specifically to keep local dangerous wildlife away
from the camp, as well as keep any thieves or bandits out
as well. They are paid extremely well, and take their job
seriously. Upon arriving at the camp, 2-3 of the camp
guards will immediately question the party in a serious
tone. After learning they are here to assist with the missing
workers situation, they offer to escort the party to the head
researcher, Scribe. The guards have had to deal with
bandits trying to sneak their way in the past, so they keep a
close eye on the party until told otherwise.
If the any of the party ask the guards for information about

pay some of the wizards and artificers in the camp
to share some of the spells they have gathered in
their research.

CHAPTER TWO: THE map you can use. This provides a good idea of how the
system works.
LOST VAULTS
In this chapter, the players finally begin exploring the Lost
Vaults. There are multiple ways to go about running this
dungeon for the party, which will be covered in this
chapter. Use whatever style works best for you.
THE LAYOUT OF THE VAULTS

From a mechanics standpoint, the Lost Vaults works
exactly as they are explained in Chapter 1; There are
multiple floors, each with an entrance and an exit, but the
layout of the Vaults shifts between those spaces changes at
dawn each day.
Entrance to the Floor

(Fixed Point)
Each section of the map is labeled with a different room

size (S for Small, M for medium, L for Large). The lines
represent the connections to each of these rooms, which
are hallways. The length of each hallway is 200 feet long,

hallways, which is the point. It is meant to be a maze.
The second way of designing the layout of the dungeon is

Exit to Next Floor to designing it yourself! It is a fairly simple task with a
(Fixed Point) piece of paper or a graphing paper. The important thing to
keep in mind is the number of rooms and dead ends.

room, even if you expect nothing to happen there. If each

about 20-30 minutes minimum to handle. If each room

There are a few ways to go about designing the middle

space of each floor. The easiest for you as a Dungeon
Master (DM) is to use the prebuild ones included in this
section. These are great because they allow for less prep
work on your part. Here is a simple example of one such

The last thing to keep in mind is that the players are not
aware of the layout. So for example, let us say the players
are struggling to find the exit. Since they are not aware of
the layout, you can suddenly change the next unexplored
room of the dungeon to be exit! The maps in this adventure
are kept separated from one another exactly for this
purpose!
This is perfect for struggling players or when there is a

limited time left for the session. If the players question
why the dungeon is so short, remember “There is no set
size to the floors of the Vaults. Sometimes they can clear a
floor in an hour. Sometimes they can’t clear a floor before
dawn the next day”.

room.
The traps are going to be one of the main things that is

going to help level the playing field for the golems.
Typically the golems are set around a fixed challenge
rating, with the party that explores the vault slowly getting
stronger as they destroy more golems and gather their
items. Traps really allow the golems to get the upper hand
when implemented correctly.
Traps within the first floor of the vault trigger in 3

different ways: Detection orbs, pressure plates, and sound
orbs.
 Detection orbs are small glass orbs that are
located in the center ceiling of each room.
Whenever a non-golem creature moves more
than 15 feet while within the room, the detection
orb will trigger the trap. A detection orb can be
found with a DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check. In
order to disarm a detection orb, you have to shoot
it or obscure it. The orb has 10 hit points, 12 AC,
and is immune to poison and psychic damage. If
an orb takes damage but is not destroyed, it will
trigger the trap. Detection orbs can also be tricked

 Sound orbs are orbs that are hearing out for loud
sounds. They are located in the ceiling of the
rooms right after the door way. They are able to
detect sounds in a 30-foot radius around it. If a

flush with the walls, and are nearly impossible to spot. The the more likely you are to encounter a trap. For example:
triggers, however require interaction with the inside of the
walls and are able to be spotted. Luckily the traps only
really target creatures who are in the rooms themselves, so
the party can just lure the golems into the hallways!
However, the hallways also very narrow, making it hard to
navigate and the golems might have something to deal
with crowded areas…
Now that we have covered the triggers for the traps, let’s
discuss the 3 types of reactions for the traps for the first
floor: Poison gas, blinding light, and exhaustion darts.
 Poison gas is exactly as it sounds; a gas that is

poisonous. The gas will take different amounts
of time to fill the room, depending on the room
size: 1 round for small, 2 rounds for medium,
and 3 rounds for large rooms. Once the room
has filled with gas, non-golem creatures must
make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the
start of their turn or be posioned for 1 minute.
Once the poison gas has filled the room for 3
rounds, the gas disappears and the trigger for
the trap is turned off.
 Blinding light causes the natural light within
the room to becomes ultra bright, possibly
blinding the party. The blinding light triggers
automatically as soon as the trigger is set off.
When triggered, each non-golem creature in

As the players enter the room, read the following:

In this chapter, the players finally run into the group of
duergar, led by Redgan, who have been capturing the
workers in order to try and find a way out of the vault. The
players will need to decide on how they want to handle the
duergar and their leader, and then escape from the vault.
DEALING WITH THE GUESTS

Depending on your party, there are multiple ways this
could pan out. Use the following information to help decide
on how the durgar will respond.

If the party does engage in combat with the duergar,
A few things to keep in mind with Redgan durring the give each of the 4 duergar a random magic item, and give
negotiation: Redgan the magic items listed in the NPCs and Golems
chapter.
 He will specifically try to avoid bringing up the
kidnapped workers, fearing that party might
attack them upon learning about them. If the
party mentions them, he will firmly explain he
did was he had to make sure he and his people
survive.
 Redgan will ask if he has to give up the items he
and his people have gathered thus far. If the
party provides any information stating that he
might, he will be hesitant to after all he has
been through. It will require a DC 12 Charisma
(Persuasion) check to convince him. The
duergar will insist on carrying their items out
with them. A failed check here will cause
Redgan and the duergar to attack, believing
that they can take the party and using their
cleared path to escape.
 Redgan will respond negatively to intimidation.
He is a desperate but proud man. At the first
attempt at intimidation, he will warn the party
that he has been through hell to get here and
will not simply back down. Any further
intimidation attempts after that will cause him
and the duergar to attack.
 If the player negotiate the workers first,
Redgan will decline. He understands they are
bargaining chip and will not giving them up
easily. It will require a DC 16 Charisma
(Persuasion) check to convince him to give
them up.
 If the players offer to heal the duergar, they will
be reclutant but will accept the help. Doing so
will grant advantage on all Charisma
(Persuasion) check with Redgan and the
duergar.
If the players successfully convince the duergar that

they are going to help them, they will hesitantly follow
them out of the vaults. The guards will be surprised to see
them, but won’t attack as long as the players explain the
situation. Scribe will also be surprised, as something like
this has never happened before, but will offer to help
recover the bodies of fallen duergar, so long as Redgan and
the duergar surrender the items they have gathered.
COMBAT APPROACH
While the simplest options, the players could choose to
just attack the duergar and save the workers. Redgan and
the duergar will fight to the death to defend themselves,
using the fully might of their duergar powers and the
magic items they have obtained. Upon being defeated, the
players will have the option to pick up their items and get
them as possible reward for the adventure. However the
question of happens to dead bodies that are left in the Lost
Vaults ever has been answered yet. Perhaps there will be
some consequences for these actions.
