Note: This adventure comes from the module “Scepter Tower of Spellgard” by David Noonan and Greg A. Vaughan.

Clean out the tower. Find the alabaster pillars and some cool loot:

• 1,680 gp (or equivalent)
• 1 Level 5 Magic Item
• 1 Level 6 Magic Item
• 1 Level 8 Magic Item

In addition, in Thoran's room there are found dozens of scribbled arcane notes that (after some study) reveal his specific ritual to enslave the ghost of Lady Saharel. Unfortunately, it is not clear what he was going to/with her once she was bound. That detail seems to have died with him.

Thoran was also found to have a scroll containing a crude map of the catacombs showing their link to the tower dungeon. On the back is a message directing the recipient (presumably Thoran) to travel to Spellgard, occupy the tower, and “unlock its secrets”. While the message is unsigned, there is a (broken) wax seal on the scroll with a signet that could possibly be used to track the message's source.

After ensuring that the tower has been cleaned out, the party returns to the “Arcane Armory” and uses the alabaster pieces to open its arcane locks. Inside, a series of ornate chests are found. However, all but one are open and empty. The remaining sealed chest sits in the center of the room and as soon as the party approaches it, the ghost of Lady Saharel appears – seated on it.

As far as ghost appearances go, this is a good one. She appears in a way that is both startling, but also makes you believe she had been sitting there waiting when you first opened the door.

Her first words are a warning about this room. “Be careful. This armory has long since been stripped of value - but a deadly trap remains on this chest. Open it only if you are tired of your life.”

The rest of her speech is a prophetic warning…

coming soon…
