The Treasure of Cloakwood Hall

nd
This complex is reached via the dual Linked Portal (the shorter of the two steps) from the 2
Floor chamber of the manor house.

Entry Hall (Chamber 1)

You appear in the center of the Linked Portal – into absolute blackness. Lighting a
Sunrod will reveal a chamber 10 squares by 30 – and lining each wall, one to each square, stand
34 Skeleton Warriors (treat as Level 6 PC-class Fighters, armed with Spear and Medium Shield).
The Warriors swiftly move to engage; they are draped in bits and pieces of Cloakwood family
livery.
As the Warriors close in, the “Cloakwood PC” wearing the family signet ring should lift
their hand to strike – and the Warriors will all stop “dead” in their tracks. The Warrior closest to
that PC will lean in close, to gaze at their signet ring – then will stiffen to ‘attention’ and salute,
then all the Warriors will turn and make their way back to their posts.
To that PC’s right, an eerie white glow draws the party’s attention to… (Lining the walls of
this chamber, five to a side, are Ever-burning Torches, in wall sconces; although dark, they can
be activated as normal. A strange vine lines all the walls; roll vs. Dungeoneering –3 {Drow ONLY:
+5}: This is Alabaster Wort, found only in the deepest of caverns; it scrubs the air, producing
Oxygen while removing harmful agents using a process based on ammonia, rather than
photosynthesis.)

Chapel (Chamber 2)

The walls of this dome-vaulted room are white as alabaster and glow with an ethereal
light, as if coming from nowhere, and are carved with exquisitely executed scenes of a titanic
battle (roll vs. History –6 to identify); on the floor, one square into the room, is a 2’x2’ square bas
relief of the oldest version of the Cloakwood PCs family crest. At the far end of the room is a holy
alter to Erathis that includes a twice-life sized statue of the Goddess, exquisitely rendered, with
several (a number equal to PCs accepting to become Divine Champions) other, much lesser
alters to gods that were obviously added at a later date. At each alter, a Cleric’s holy symbol for
that God hangs from a chain of material appropriate to that God. PCs looking at each other will
note that a mystical aura now engulfs them; a faint, shimmering image of a holy symbol hovers in
front of each PCs chest.
As the Cloakwood family PC approaches the main alter, the candelabra on the alter flare
with a glow, and produces two shimmering figures of otherworldly beauty – who bear a strong
resemblance to the Cloakwood family PC (that PC rolls vs. History +5 – [insert story of the Six
Who Drew Lots]). Presently, gazing fondly at her descendant, the woman speaks:

“Child of My House, if you are seeing this, then I am dead, and have failed Our God.

[Insert ‘War of the Gods’ in trance/dream-state to the Party]

I have failed, because the Blood Spear Orcs are coming, and my fellows and I cannot help our Gods before the fell tide of Orcs breaks upon
us. I have, instead, built, stocked and warded this place with the Shades of Our family’s most loyal retainers, the better for you to carry on
where we could not. Within is all you will need, should you choose to restore our family honor.

You must restore the Ward to its fullest flower! You are the only one who can do it – you and your fellows.

1
 If you cannot find it in your soul to at least try, then I mourn the death of my line.

At the Cloakwood PCs agreement, the male apparition says: “You have done well by us,
Child of our House. Honor and courage to you and your brethren. Down the hall and twice left will
take you to what you require for this grave task...”
Have players choose a deity, preferably their own.
Accepting ‘Champion’ status: Gain +2 Diplomacy and Religion (permanent); gain the
Cleric’s Healing Word spell as an At-Will power; gain free Feat, “Apt Negotiator”: Daily/Free
action – once per day, gain +2 to Diplomacy and +2 to CHA for 4 hours; gain innate knowledge
and ability to make Holy Water (five rolls on 1d20; any roll of 2+ succeeds), cast both the Level 2
Ritual “Bloom” and the Level 8 Ritual “Anthem of Unity” at effect 40+ from memory (NOTE: This
does NOT grant the Ritual Caster feat, nor additional levels – this applies only to Bloom and
Anthem of Unity) – Ritual components are still necessary, but Ritual Books are not required for
success.

NOTE: Should the Cloakwood PC decline to agree, the male apparition sneers
disgustedly, and says: “Fine and good! Then you shall have no toys, little child!” The walls begin
to shake as the female apparition weeps; on the far side of the complex, muffled blasts can be
heard. As the party attempts to flee, they will find the skeleton army blocking their path to the
portal.
If the party does not escape the chamber within 30 rounds, the chamber will collapse
about them, entombing them for eternity.

cap’, “one size fits most”), each with Shortsword and scabbard, Dagger and Medium
Shield, with a 2-pint water-skin (empty) a 2-pint pewter tankard (empty), an Ironwood
bowl (empty), a wooden spoon and a tabard in the old Cloakwood family crest.

8
 Four “field drums”, eight fifes, two bagpipes, four bugles and two songbooks.
Six Century- and one Cohort-grade war banners.
Four full farmers harvest sacks, made of burlap (Bucknard’s Ever-Fruitful
Farm; Each: 500,000 gp; Property: placing a handful of any cereal grain (wheat, barley,
rice, etc.) in the sack and leaving overnight will fill the sack to its full, 50 lbs capacity –
additionally, the grains will not rot unless removed from the sack, or if the sack is
submerged in water for longer than one hour; sacks are currently filled with wheat, barley,
rye and brown rice; NOTE: If the sack is ever left empty overnight, the magic within will
disperse, leaving a common sack.)
A common-appearing wine jug, 1 gallon in size (Decanter of Endless Waters;
3,000 gp; Property: On command, a stream of fresh or salt water, as desired, will pour
forth; flow has three settings: Stream, 1 gallon/round; Fountain, 5 gallons/round; Geyser:
20’ long stream at 30 gallons/round (this setting has considerable knockback power: roll
vs. DEX to avoid falling); command word halts flow – replacing the stopper DOES NOT)
Four large, but otherwise unremarkable barrels, each roughly 4 ft tall and 4
ft diameter, made of iron hoop-bound oak; the lids are on, but not sealed, and the
Cloakwood family crest is painted on the sides and lids.
1 barrel of arrows (2000)
1 barrel of quarrels (4000)
1 barrel of ballistae bolts (200; treat as Javelin when not for shooting
from ballistae)
1 barrel of steel spearheads (200 total; require shafts for mounting)
(Each barrel is a Bucknard’s Courageous Arsenal of Honor: Each barrel:
1 million gp; Property: When any ONE of a certain type of object is placed within the barrel, the lid
placed on and left overnight, the barrel will produce a quantity of identical items, the amount
produced depending on what item was placed within. In addition to the above quantities, each
barrel can produce the following:

• 5 “Stands” as above but without shields (crest on appearing tabards will depend on the
crest placed into the barrel – this Stand is the only exception to the rule of “one object
only”)
• 100 daggers
• 50 short-swords (including Gladii) or Katars
• 2,000 Shurikens
• 8,000 Caltrops
• 8 Hand Crossbows
• 2 “field drums” with 2 sets of sticks each
• 70 fifes
• 3 bagpipes
• 8 bugles
• 5 Battle Standards
• 100 tabards, cloaks or field blankets that have a “proper” heraldic crest (the crest can be
any crest at all, but it must follow the Rules of Heraldry precisely [roll vs. History or Bard],
or else there will be no effect generated) on them (may be printed, sewn or stitched in
place)

Note that these are the only items that can be produced by the barrels – neither gold, food, water,
gems, hammers, axes, nor anything else can be produced. Also, the barrels may never be left
completely empty for more than one full 24-hour day – at least one item listed above must be
present in each barrel at all times. If left completely empty for more than 24 hours, the magic in
the barrel will disperse in a violent deflagration (roll d100: on 10 or less, the barrel explodes,
doing 4d10 damage to any creature[s] within 10 squares, Save vs. DEX). The items produced are
not magical in any way, but may be enchanted using the normal process.)

Library (Chamber 5)

This room is paneled in rich and rare hardwoods; an exquisite carpet of emerald green
adorns the stone floor. At the far end of the room is a desk and chair, very much like Baron
Padrig’s. On the desk rests three books – the top one containing a full inventory of the entire
complex, by room (in effect, this entire document); the second book includes the description of
The Ward and the “other gods” (see: Harn) who built it. Beneath this book lays the third book,
“The Book of the War of the Concordat”. This explains why the War of the Gods occurred, how
Peoni resolved it with the Concordat, and most importantly, the built-in “fail safe” to destroy the
barriers of the Concordat, “when the time is right”.
Draped over the back of the desk chair is a tired-looking traveling robe, the interior
lined with oddly shaped patches (Robe of Useful Items: 15,000 gp; 2xDaggers, 2xStorm
Lanterns (filled and lit), 2xQuarterstaffs, 2xLarge Mirrors, 2xLarge Sacks, 2x50’ Coils of Hemp
Rope, 2xBags w/ 100 gp each, 2x12’ Rowboats, 3x2 War Dogs (Mastiffs), 2xPotion of Superior
Healing (3d8 HP returned); The magic of the Robe is expended when the last patch is removed,
and it cannot be “refilled” at any point – a new Robe must be made.)
The wall to the right is lined with well over 100 books. (See list, below.) The left wall holds
a massive cabinet, holding two hundred and fifty small drawers (roll 8 successes vs. each of
Arcana, Religion and Alchemy [avg. of Arcana and Religion] to decipher what this object is).
(This is Bucknard’s Domus of the Magi; Value: At least 50 million gp, for anyone stupid enough
to sell it; as per the Arsenal barrels above, but each drawer produces a certain type of component
suitable for any spells or rituals; each drawer contains an amount sufficient for three spells or
rituals using that component per day, but one “dosage” of the component must be left within, or
within 24 hours the entire cabinet will disperse its magic in a massive blast, doing 10d12 damage
to anyone in the room, no Save, destroying the cabinet; the components in the drawers are held
in a type of stasis, and will not degrade or rot while in the drawer; Note that when a new
component is added to an empty drawer, an appropriate Alchemical symbol (roll vs. Arcana or
Alchemy) will appear on the drawer…Note, also, that completely emptying a drawer and replacing
the contents with a new item will change the symbol on the drawer to one appropriate to the new
ingredient; the component removed will then no longer be available, until it is replaced with
another example). Bucknard is only known to have made eight of these giants – this is the last
one in existence.
Atop the Domus’ cabinet rest four small, finely executed chests, each 12’x12’x4’.
(Chest of Eternity; each: 20,000 g.p.; Property: Holds any object within against corruption, for as
long as the chest is closed. Each chest currently holds four complete units of the ingredients to
make Spell Ink. Observant characters [1 roll vs. each of Arcana and Perception] will note that all
the Spell Ink components are also listed on drawers on the Domus.)
On a table with several items piled atop, with several chests underneath (an Astrolabe,
Celestialabe, Greater Alembic, Sextant, etc. – this is a complete Alchemist’s Lab) – and a non-
descript wine flagon (Alchemy Jug: 12,000 gp; 7 times/Day: On command, the Jug can pour
forth any of the following liquids at a maximum of 2 gallons/round: salt water, 16 gallons; fresh
water, 8 gallons; beer, 4 gallons; vinegar, 2 gallons; wine, 1 gallon; ammonia, 1 quart; petroleum
oil, 1 pint; aqua regia, 2 gills (8 oz); denatured alcohol, 1 gill (4 oz); chlorine, 8 drams (1 oz);
cyanide, 4 drams (1/2 oz); only one type of liquid may be poured per day, no matter the
number of pours).
Above the table hangs an Ironwood map otherwise identical to the one in the Vault (Table
3, Pile 4); there is a full explanation of the Ritual – as well as the complete Ritual to open a
gateway – in the second book on the desk. (Restricted to Level 12+)
In the center of the floor are a number of footlocker-sized chests, each with one unique
Holy Symbol inscribed upon it, corresponding to the alters in the Chapel (Chamber 2). Within
each chest are four books (that God’s Holy Tome, a Hymnal to that God, a Book of Catechisms
and a Manual of Discipline for Clerics, Invokers and Paladins of that Faith), a complete Portable
Alter for that God, including basic “blessed” Clerical Vestments, a single 3ft tall sacrificial vase
[refer to religion discussion], a complete kit (with a Platinum bowl) for making Holy Water and a
simple sheet of plain, homespun cloth, with a “keyhole” opening to slip over the head
(This is Sacred Armor of Divine Might; 2 million gp; when draped over the head of a Chosen

10
 Champion, this cloth transforms itself into a suit of armor (melding under the PCs current gear,
and gently laying their current armor at their feet) that appears as the heaviest armor that
Character can use for their class – the armor is treated as Cloth for Movement, but as Plate Mail
+7 for AC; the armor is non-descript and otherwise unadorned, except for the appropriate God’s
Holy Symbol appearing in the center of the chest, or where it will be most visible). A word of
command releases the armor, returning it to its normal state as a rough piece of cloth. (This
armor will not function on a non-Champion.)
