== Presentation ==
== The Malady (10-12) ==


*Around 8,000 years ago, during an era of peace following a long war against a great evil, the world was largely at peace. With evil cowed and in hiding, a cleric named '''Danar Rotansin''' sought to eradicate all the evil magical items he could find. He quickly became convinced, however, that destroying them just released their evil back into the world, so constructed a great underground vault called Tremoc Korin. He spent his entire life filling this vault with these evil "banes", leading the vault to also be called the "banewarrens".
See [[Dissolution Notes Malady]]
** ''Danar''
** ''Banwarrens interior''
*Within 50 years, the concentration of evil within the banewarrens grows so repugnant that the earth itself thrusts it away, forming the Spire, with Danar Rotansin's fortress '''Mosul Pearl''' at the tip.
** ''Spire''
*Thirty years later, a lifetime in proximity to these banes (and acquisition of a bane called the ''Book of Inverted Darkness'') corrupts Danar Rotansin. He becomes the '''Dread One''', taking the name '''Eslathagos Malkith'''. He changes the name of his castle to '''Jabel Shammar''' and begins using the banes he once strove to keep out of evil hands to create more wicked servants.
** ''Dread One''
*He emerges a few years later, launching an attack so devastating, it threatened to tear the world asunder. Only the actions of all the mortal races, led by powerful and stalwart heroes—many of whom had been friends and companions of Danar—stopped the forces of Eslathagos Malkith, most of them giving their lives and souls in the process.
** ''Skull banner''
** ''Heroes''
*''Something'' sealed the banewarrens when the Dread One died. Some say this was the spirit of Danar, free of corruption, performing a last act of good. Others claim it was some kind of magical "dead-man's switch". In any case, the Banewarrens remained completely impervious to penetration of any kind for thousands of years.
** ''Door''
*Then the Vallis Moon returned. When it appeared, seals on the Banewarren doors started failing. It took a while for anyone to notice, but over the past few days some parties have gone into the Banewarrens.
** ''Valis Moon''
* Cassiadora wants you to go in for her, to discover the fate of '''Saggarintys''', a silver dragon who helped Danar design, build and organize the Banewarrens. When Danar became the Dread One, most mentions of the dragon stop, but Cassiadora has found some ancient documents that suggest Saggarintys may have been imprisoned in some kind of suspended animation. She wants the group to go into the Banewarrens to see if this is true and, if possible, revive Saggarintys. If he still lives, and is not corrupted himself, he would be the most likely to know how to reseal the Banewarrens.
** ''Silver dragon''
*The '''Inverted Pyramid''' sent in a small research team, but they did not go in that far. They were only there to get a feel for the aura of the place, to better be able to reseal it. This task currently occupies the entirety of the Inverted Pyramid, and they may be able to accomplish it. Once they do, chances are anyone in the Banewarrens won't be able to get back out.
** ''Inverted Pyramid''
*Others are likely planning (or already executing) their own expedition into the Banewarrens. One such group has been sent by the '''Church of Lothian'''. Or, at least, a faction within it. This group is dangerous to Cassiadora's purposes, because they are a part of the church that seeks to re-impose the Edict of Deviltry, which bans all arcane magic. To this end, they seek a historically important weapon against the arcane called the ''sword of truth''. Cassiadora wants this weapon kept out of the church's hands.
** ''Church imagery''
** ''Sword of truth''
* Cassiadora sent her own team into the Banewarrens already, but they were all killed shortly after penetrating an inner vault. They carry a device that will allow her to teleport the group to her team's location.

* [[Cassiadora]] calls in her marker.
=== Aggah-Shan's Journals ===
** Sent a team into the Banewarrens. They got killed.
** Wants to discover fate of silver dragon.
** Team also had a marker, so she can teleport in the party in, as long as the complex remains unsealed.
** Knows the Knights of the Pale are interested in the ''sword of truth'', and wants them stopped. (Maybe she is part of the inverted pyramid?)
** Knows that the Inverted Pyramid wants to re-seal the Banewarrens, and needs to focus her efforts on interfering with this until the party succeeds.
** Only then, would like party to seal the Banewarrens, if possible.
* Ignore…
** …the House Vaadim stuff.
** …the banewarrens key.
** …the three part staff.


=== Team Quaan ===
In the final room of the White House catacombs is Aggah-Shan's main living quarters. It is filled with research, concealed as the ledgers of the White House. (This is an elaborate head fake. The idea is that using the ledgers explains why there is tight security around them, but doesn't call attention to their true contents.) Centuries of ledgers are held in a shelf in the final room. In one of them is a bookmark made of lead covered in runes. When placed in one of the books, the pages "turn inside out" and reveal [[Aggah-Shan's journals]]. It is long reading, but contains the following:


The Pactlords of the Quaan want the ''black grail'' from the Banewarrens. They are found towards the end, having found (and eliminated) the secret door in room #2 of the inner vault. It takes the team quite a while to drag the beholder past the anti-magic cave, which is why they haven't penetrated further, even with their head start. Perhaps mind flayer charms brutes into carrying? But maybe they have to wait for them to regenerate, having wailed on them before? Once on the level with the chain devil, team coerces devil to giving location of grail. When they find out, the beholder says it "will go on ahead", as they it flies, leaving the others behind (perhaps the mind flayer has an injury that prevents him from levitating, or is just afraid to confront the beholder alone). In reality, the beholder wants the grail for itself. Realizing this, the mind flayer knows it needs support to confront them, so is trying to come up with a plan (probably charming the devil) as the players arrive on the level. Meanwhile, the beholder is stopped outside of room 25, trying to figure out how to bypass it without getting shifted away (ironically, only the mind flayer below would be able to shift back).
* He knows that Praemal is a prison. Originally a good wizard, he sought ways to break the prison open. His obsession drove him to more and more extreme acts, turning him evil and, ultimately led to his seeking of lichhood. It wasn't until becoming a lich that he learned ''why'' Praemal is a prison.
* Details for the design of chaos machine
* References to the Fallen, the Dark Reliquary and Lilith. Mention of the powerful demons on the surface, but fairly lax security underneath. Need to plant seeds for future here.
* A lot of information about Goth Gulgamel, including a plan to penetrate it.
* Details of getting the Banewarrens key from House Vladim.
* Details of the three artifacts he wanted from the Banewarrens. Enough description such that locate object might work on the ''osseous redoubt''.
* Design of his phylactery (enough for locate object, even though that won't work).
* Hints in books leads to Goth Gulgamel, where Aggah-Shan has taken up residence, with the malady case.


* beholder (CR 13)
=== Hit on the Knights of the Pale ===
* Vendarlik, mind flayer (CR 8)
* Saphix, female [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-lists-and-details/-n/naga/dark dark naga] (CR 8)
* Nihil, female [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-lists-and-details/-h/hag/green-hag green hag] rogue (CR 8, rogue 3)
* By the time the PCs meet the team, the mind flayer will also probably have charmed the Master of Chains (CR 8).
* team had a troll (CR 5) and a number of bugbears (CR 5), but all have been lost along the way. Perhaps a bit of a trail (with bone quaan rings) for the PCs to follow. Might be interesting if the troll just got tossed down the baneheart, and his regeneration managed to save him; however, the vrock had a chance to capture him, and wants to use him as an ever regenerating source of food.


=== Team Evil ===
Even from within the Dark Reliquary, Lilith realizes that the Malady presents some unique opportunities, opportunities the Raguel would neither recognize nor sanction. She has thrown together a number of quick projects to take advantage of the chaos. Top of the list involves a strike to destroy some historical foes, the Knights of the Pale. Though she has long worked at crippling the organization with stealth and subterfuge, the Malady provides a chance to use brute force instead. With the Knights spread thin helping to protect people from the shambling hordes, their headquarters, Bladechapel, is largely undefended. Coincidentally, this happens to come at a time where a prior effort had just bore fruit.


Working for [[Aggah-Shan]], trying to find the ''book of inverted darkness'' (which turns out to be fruitless, since it isn't in the Banewarrens). Perhaps in room #16 when the Shuul started fighting Slaadi? Or maybe in room #24?
During the Vallis Moon fiasco, the Knights captured an ally of the Dark Reliquary, a fiendish stone giant, attempting to convert an abandoned building in the Temple District into a temple to Ochremeshk. The Knights have imprisoned this giant in Bladechapel, interrogating him about his plans. Shortly after, Lilith heard that one of the servants in Bladechapel was cheating on his wife with a chaos cultist and, from this servant, information about the building was extracted. Lilith sent an imp to try to penetrate the building. It managed to get into the catacombs beneath it, but couldn't find where the giant was being held. It did, however, manage to overhear the password to the building's ''[[pfsrd-spell:f/forbiddance|forbiddance]]'' spell: "Lothian". Speaking this word on entry allows one to avoid damage (though teleportation is still prevented).


* Ostler Nackle: male dwarf deathknight (CR9, ranger 5, rogue 2)
Now that the Malady is running rampant, Lilith has assembled a group of demons, dæmons and devils to attack Bladechapel. They have several goals:
* Anaralas: nimblewright (CR 9)
* Blenvan: male gnome (CR 8, sorcerer 8)
* Curuk: male hobgoblin (CR 8, cleric 8)
* zombie giant octopus (CR 6, animated by Curuk from the outer vaults)
* spectre (CR 7, controlled by Curuk's feat)
* 3 gnoll skeletons (CR3, animated by Curuk from the outer vaults)


=== Team Tech ===
* Make it clear to everyone that the Knights can't protect the people who have taken shelter from the Malady there.
* Kill as many knights as possible.
* Corrupt the temple to Lothian.
* Break into the armory and steal or destroy ''holy'' and ''outsider bane'' weapons.
* Dismantle the chamber in the armory known to be able to destroy chaositech and other chaotic magic.
* Rescue the stone giant.
* Replace the drain plug on the personal bathtub of Dierna Hillerchaun with one on which is inscribed with a permanent ''[[pfsrd-spell:s/symbol-of-insanity|symbol of insanity]]'' which triggers any time it gets wet or is read.
* Destroy as much of the house as possible.


(CL 12) The [[Shuul]] want to learn the secrets of the warding generators. Probably come in just before the party does. Might be found in the cataclysm chamber (as the sound of gunshots would be useful to draw the party that direction). The rhodintor would probably be casting stuff, risking rift formation and sucking in additional outsiders. (Good way to make the Slaadi more dangerous.)
To that end:


* Melirix, male human priest of Teun (cleric 7)
* 2 Hezrou - property damage
* Kithsul, male gnome fighter (figher 5, shadowdancer 2)
* Shadow Demon - plant the symbol of pain
* Tole, male sniper human (rogue 7)
* Bearded Devil - go where needed
* Movendy Vadhaghan, male half-elf druid (druid 7)
* Barbed Devil - go where needed
* Greli, female dwarven war priest (ranger 4, cleric 3)
* 2 Carnage daemon - kill and terrorize civilians.
* Scarfur (rhodindor, sarycal, CR7)
* 3 Mezzololth - corrupt temple
* 2 Babau: Go after weapons
* Imp: Led demons in. Necklace of fireballs.
* Fomorian Painbringer - wants to rescue prisoner? Open vault.
* Rhodintor (Sarycal) - destroy the anti-chaositech machine
* Stone Giant - prisoner?


=== Team Lothian ===
=== The Pactlords of the Quaan ===


(CL 12) Wants the ''sword of truth''. Come in after the party, probably will be found when the party backtracks. Would fight both the Shuul and Team Evil. Traitor among them can act as a conduit for Mind Flayer. In combat, Flayer would probably use psionic blasts if it thought they could be pinned on others.
Two events related to the return (and later disappearance) of the Vallis moon have jolted the Pactlords of the Quaan into action. The first was the opening of the Banewarrens and subsequent location of (but failure to retrieve) the ''black grail''. The second was failure of the magic powering several potent traps within a section of Ghul's Labyrinth, leading to the Pact's discovery of the mural room allowing teleportation into Goth Gulgamel (see ''Ptolus'', pg. 421).


* Moston Ferelurth, male human priest of lothian (cleric 8)
The primary backer of the mission into the Banewarrens, a scylla named Iariono, took a massive hit to her credibility and power within the Pact. Further, the death of the beholder leading the mission has left a power vacuum which ambitious pactlords are rushing to fill. As this struggle plays out, loyalties are shifting, old scores are being settled and the Pact in general is in turmoil.
* Sharah Nestor, female human paladin (paladin 7)
* Tilani Vash, male aasimar paladin (paladin 7)
* Vaesillian Moonheart, male elf priest, a voidmind traitor (cleric 7)
* Gribblevin Thistle, male halfling priest, (cleric 4,wizard 3)
* Urdas, justice archon (cleric 1 (CR7))


=== Team Dragon ===
Meanwhile, having long sought a way into that particular section of Ghul's Labyrinth, a high ranking pactlord named Dronnmos (an advanced neothelid) discovered the mural room, and has since centered his operations around it. When the reports of the scouts sent into Goth Gulgamel reached Dronnmos, Iariono and several other pactlords, a mad dash erupted to get boots on the ground within the fortress.


Working for Cassiadora, got killed by godslayer sent specifically after them.
Iariono largely won this race, tapping a gug priest of the demon-god Ochremeshk named Quiral to lead blood troll and hellfire giant members of his flock into the fortress to secure it and begin explorations of the Utterdark with the help of a moon-beast. At least, that is the story told to the rest of the Pact. Iariono is really hoping to find the ''staff of the magi'' floating in some detached room within the Utterdark. Also part of this mission is Vendarlik, the only survivor of the Banewarrens mission. Knowing the location of where the ''black grail'' was within the Spire relative to the apparent position of Goth Gulgamel, the mind flayer believes that it may be possible to get back to the ''grail'' from within the fortress. Vendarlik has enlisted the aid of Chrindurn, an intellect devourer, whose blindsense allows it to "see" in the Utterdark. Chrindurn has already stolen the body of one of the hellfire giants.


=== Wildcards ===
Not willing to be muscled out of his own discovery, Dronnmos has attached a Zavayss, a noble salamander, and his followers to the mission, using the argument that they share the religion and love of fire with Quiral's flock. Zavayss watches Quiral and the exploration, reporting back to Dronnmos regularly. The salamander quite likes the environment within Goth Gulgamel and secretly plots to take Quiral's position.


* Bluespawn Godslayer sent in after Team Dragon, as well as to make sure silver king is dead. Kills most of team dragon. A couple escape, but get finished off by pudding. After just forcing his way through the prismatic wall in room #35, slayer finds dragon room, but can't figure out how to get to the silver king. He's been "sleeping on it" (also to digest the meal of Team Dragon).
Dronnmos also convinced a pair of blue dragon allies (Usieth and Okthun) to donate a dozen [[dvontoi]] to the endeavor. The dragons insisted on entering the fortress themselves to "oversee" the operation. Unbeknownst to Dronnmos or Iariono, the dragons couldn't care less about the mission, instead intent on mating and hatching their brood within the confines of the fortress.


== Cassiadora's Goodie Bag ==
While Aggah-Shan was none too pleased to see the Pact's intrusion into Goth Gulgamel, the lich has come to an understanding with the Pact presence. They have provided the lich an occasional minion to probe the Ageless Titan for information. Meanwhile, the pact is cheering on the [[Malady]] for removing so many humanoids, but otherwise giving the lich a wide birth.


*2 pints of liquid light (Ptolus 46)
=== The Cult of Ochremeshk ===
*3 gallons of holy water (24 flasks)
 
*A five ounce speck of Vallis (Ptolus 47)
The cultists being employed by the pact have their own agenda outside the pact. Dedicated to Ochremeshk (see ''Ptolus'', pg. 623), they seek to free him from his prison, then present him with a Goth Gulgamel already prepared for his use. So far, they have converted an alter room within the fortress to the demon prince, but have no real leads on how to free him.

=== Motivations ===
*Arcane scrolls
 
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/alarm alarm]''
Summing up the above, here are the movers and shakers in and about Goth Gulgamel:
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/unseen-servant unseen servant]''
 
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/floating-disk floating disk]''
* [[Aggah-Shan]], [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/templates/lich|lich]] (CR 16): Wants the ''entropy sphere'', so needs to get past the titan. Also exploring the Utterdark.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/locate-object locate object]''
* Quiral, savant [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/aberrations/gug|gug]] cleric (CR 16): Secure Goth Gulgamel and protect the exploration of the Utterdark. Support Iariono's interests. What he really wants, though, is to free Ochremeshk, and is preparing Goth Gulgamel to be the demon's seat of power.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/knock knock]''
* Zavayss, [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/salamander/salamander-noble|noble salamander]] (CR 12): Supervise exploration of the Utterdark. Support Dronnmos's interests. Though intended to act as a check on Quiral, he also worships Ochremeshk, and is helping Quiral prepare the site for him.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/rope-trick rope trick]''
* Vendarlik, mind flayer (CR 8): Wants to gain entrance to the Banewarrens to get the ''black grail''. Secondarily, he is ambitious, having already claimed most of the beholder's clout for himself and trying to keep Iariono from falling.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/shrink-item shrink item]''
* Chrindurn, intellect devourer (CR 8): Wants to get back into the good graces of the Pactlords, which Vendarlik has promised; however, Chrindurn's past transgressions are such that many of the Pactlords would kill Chrindurn on sight, and slay Vendarlik for helping him.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/dimensional-anchor dimensional anchor]''
* Thanss, [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/aberrations/moon-beast|moon-beast]] (CR 11): find the ''staff of the magi'' within the Utterdark, as Iariono has promised much for it.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/secure-shelter secure shelter]''
* Dronnmos, advanced [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/aberrations/neothelid|neothelid]] (CR 18): Not present, but looking to exploit Goth Gulgamel and his control of the mural leading to it for all he can. As a Pactlord, ultimately wants to destroy all humanoids. Would like to see Iariono eliminated.
**''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/break-enchantment break enchantment]''
* Iariono, advanced [[pfsrd:bestiary/monster-listings/aberrations/scylla|scylla]] (CR 18): Not present, but looking to use Goth Gulgamel to restore her prestige within the Pact. As a Pactlord, ultimately wants to destroy all humanoids. Would like to see Dronnmos eliminated.
*Divine scrolls
* Ochremeshk, demon prince (CR 20): Unaware any of this is happening.

* Go with the idea that Harrow Elves are created by severing an Elder Elf's connection to dreaming. Maybe the entropy sphere is involved somehow?.
