Sarcophagi – Player to the GMs left – Someone their character knows is in here, unconscious but alive. Ask the player who is this person, and how did they get here?

Canopic Jars – Player to the GMs right – Something they truly fear is in these jars. What is it? (this can make it up, as long as it’s not too gonzo).

Traps/Alarms – Falling nets, and Stinking Cloud traps.

Meeting Room : Oil painting portrait of Iggwilv (pale woman, dark hair, green eyes and armour) on the south wall.

Evidence : Travellers stolen goods in the Laboratory. Notes in meeting room about sending threatening letters to St Cuthbert church from Horned Society in town.

Lair is different from the area because… Demonic idols in each room, plants in the area ooze blood.

Potential Loot : Tome of Demonology II (arch fiends, enemies, places of known influence), Cubic Gate, Holy symbol of Pelor & St Cuthbert, Unholy symbol of Nerull & Hextor, Ring-Fire Immunity, Tome of Greyhawk (Overview of Alliances, religions, nations -Circa 500 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.
