The party make it back to the shores of the Sea of Silt. Travelling to the north of the Kreegill Mountains.
On the way they see hundreds of slaves being taken from Raam to pay the dragon toll. The scale of suffering should be made clear to the players.
The doors of the Vault of the Veiled Alliance are hidden using illusion magic.
On the door is the inscription "Once spoken, I am broken" - the answer is 'silence' and the door will open.
There are three students in the vault Lon, Junpa and Kofon and their master Losthome.
If they enter undetected at night they are in their rooms. In the day they are studying together in the library. If alerted they will make their stand near the storage room where the real magical items are disguised by magic as everyday objects.
The students will believe that they are being attacked by defilers and will yell so.
Losthome tries to reason with them. But he will not give them the key. He will try and get them to join the Alliance and swear loyalty. He will tell them that the key is dangerous. If they accept he will insist that they wipe the memory of the non magical members of the party and cut them loose.
