The Target

The centerpiece of action is the heist itself.   The Jewel of Eae-Nirin is kept at the Adventurer's University of Caldonia (AUC), as the prized focus of a permanent exhibit in their Museum of Mindbending Ultimate Artifacts (MMUA). Security is thus very tight.  

• DAYTIME:
  • Searches at the door.
  • posted guards - nature tbd
  • wandering guards -tbd
  • alarms (probably spells)
  • Impenetrable case. Something Wall of Force like
  • possibly technically in an alternate dimension
  • cursed
  • tracker of some sort
• NIGHTTIME
  • Yet mroe guards - tbd
  • golem/bot that resets/replaces wards throughout the room and/or connecting halls
  • even more alarms
  • still that pesky case/dimension/curse

  Once that's all been accomplished by at least one team they'll learn that, that very day, the jewel was moved to The Vault. The Vault is scary enough that not even AUC and its Trap Research department, nor even the School of Comparative Abominations have felt the need to append adjectives. The Vault is the most secure place on the planet, possibly in this and several neighboring realities.  

• THE VAULT
  • Is haunted
  • Is also cursed
  • has MORE glyphs, sigils, and alarms
  • is possibly sentient
  • has many Lost Ark style traps
    • really gotta work this out. Some specifics that aren't just copying
    • but like a boulder chase would not be out of place
    • nor would pressure plates that launch projectiles
    • unique triggers would be ideal
    • fun new ways to die also neat
  • what's also fun is slimes lurking about
  • not triggering a decoy trap triggers the real trap
