Ch. 3: Forging New Bonds

Campaign Milestones

(X) Finding a Clue

The rest of the shards are going to be harder to find than the first four. PCs will have to figure out for themselves that one of the shards is located in the vault of the Dumbeldeen Palace, and the first step is to find a clue in the Dumbeldeen Metropolis.

Reward

PCs earn a level, as well as the location of the fifth shard of Durim

(XI) Renown is Key

In order to gain access to the vault, PCs will need to earn renown through the Enclave of the Forge faction by doing various quests.

Reward

PCs earn a level, as well as access to the Dumbeldeen Vault and the fifth shard of Durim

(XII) Pyramid of Oz'Ghett

Inside the vault, a letter describes a shard being located inside the pyramid of Oz'Ghett. Oz'Ghett was a notorious powerful necromancer who betrayed the alliance during the war, and as punishment was buried within the pyramid. Rumors say the pyramid is cursed, and those who venture in don't come back out.

Reward

PCs level up, and obtain the sixth shard of Durim

(XIII) Needle in a Haystack

The trail runs cold after finding the sixth shard until a traveling elf happens to encounter them on his journies. Through the encounter, the elf tells the PCs that the elves in Illyaene's Grove say that a shard is kept within the Sanctum and guarded by the Night Sentinels.

Reward

PCs gain a level and information on where the next shard is located.

(XIV) Crucible of Blood Encounter

Another officer of the Crucible of Blood has found the PCs in the Eyeless Desert. PCs must eliminate the BBeG before they can reach Illyaene's Grove.

Reward

PCs gain a level and access to Illyaen's Grove, as well as completion of the Forging New Bonds campaign.
