Critters (5e/Pathfinder)

Storage : Dozens of perfume bottles, each made from 3-6 flowers and herbs. Most are narcotic.
- Player to the GM’s left. They find something their parents would find valuable. (this is a chance for them to make something up, as long as its not too gonzo).
Traps/Alarms : Falling nets and Hideous Laughter spells.
Summoning Room : Oil painting portrait of Iggwilv (pale woman, dark hair, green eyes and armour) on the south wall.
Evidence : Journal in the sleeping chamber, notes of setting Sun fools (Pelor church) against the Book Whelps (Vecna cult) going according to plan.
Lair is different from the area because… Lavender incense in multiple locations, Demonic murals on the walls.
Potential Loot : Tome of Demonology (planes, methods, history, creatures), Wand of Summon Monster III (13 charges), Ring-Lightning Immunity, 3 vials of Holy Water, 3 vials of Unholy Water, Tome of Greyhawk (Overview of alliances, religions, nations -Circa 300 CY).

Who is Iggwilv? : A ruthless and driven archmage, lover of Graz’zt (demonic lord), mother of the demigod Iuz, aka Tasha (Hideous Laughter) the Wizard. Iggwilv has been up to nefarious deeds for several hundred years already.
Overall Goal of Iggwilv : Remove rivals such as churches of Pelor and St Cuthbert, the Scarlet Brotherhood and cult of Vecna. Iggwilv sees the Bloodwar (eternal war of demons vs devils across the multiverse) as a tool for her to gain power. She has minions and lairs in many places, plans and backup plans.
