C11 Crimson Vault

Crimson Vault:

As you enter the room connected to the northern section, your eyes are immediately drawn to a formidable sight—a large, thick steel door embedded in the northern wall. The door, adorned with intricate arcane symbols, emanates an aura of both strength and mystery. It stands as a barrier to what lies beyond—the coveted Crimson Vault.
Dimensions: 35 feet by 25 feet

Features:

Steel Door: The imposing steel door is secured by a complex mechanism, indicating the importance of the contents within. Its surface is adorned with ornate carvings that intertwine with the arcane symbols, hinting at the magical protections placed upon the vault.
Vault Room: Upon successfully unlocking and opening the steel door, you reveal a vault room bathed in a soft, ambient glow. The air within is cool and carries the scent of aged metal and faint traces of enchantments. The room itself measures 35 feet by 25 feet, and the walls are lined with sturdy shelves containing various containers, chests, and magical safeguards.
Illumination: Dim magical sconces affixed to the walls provide a gentle illumination, revealing the contents of the vault without overpowering the room with brightness. The subdued lighting adds an air of mystery to the treasures stored within.

Loot and Treasures:

Gleaming Gemstones: Precious gemstones of various colors and sizes are neatly arranged in velvet-lined containers. The sparkle of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires catches your eye, promising considerable wealth.
Exquisite Artifacts: Displayed on pedestals are ancient artifacts with intricate designs and magical auras. These relics might hold historical significance or possess powers that could aid the party.
Golden Ingots: Stacks of meticulously crafted golden ingots are arranged in the corner of the vault, reflecting the room's soft light. Each ingot bears the mark of the Crimson Blades, signifying their ill-gotten gains.  Each ingot contains a Curse that will slowely make the person carrying it more evil.
Chests of Coin: Wooden chests overflowing with various coins from different realms add a satisfying jingle to the air. The wealth amassed by the Crimson Blades is evident in the sheer volume of currency.
Magical Scrolls and Tomes: Shelves are lined with ancient scrolls and magical tomes, containing spells and knowledge sought after by arcanists and scholars alike.
Stolen Art and Heirlooms: Paintings, sculptures, and stolen heirlooms from noble houses are stacked against one wall, waiting to be reclaimed or sold to the highest bidder.

Magical Protections:

The vault is not without its defenses. Runes etched into the floor form a protective barrier, ensuring that unauthorized individuals cannot teleport in or out of the vault. Intricate wards also prevent any attempt to scry or magically spy on the vault's contents.
The party now stands before a trove of riches and potential magical artifacts. The challenge lies not only in the acquisition of the loot but also in navigating the safeguards and deciding what to take from the Crimson Vault without alerting the Crimson Blades to their presence.
