 Chromatic Vault
Over a millennium ago, Terga the Bold had one goal after
her husband, Sageroth, died from red wyrm’s fire: kill every
chromatic dragon. Terga forged a dragon-killing blade
bound with Sageroth’s soul. She slew so many dragons that
great wyrms came together to plot her demise.
They paid Terga’s warriors to betray her, and after
she was killed, they hid the sword in a vault of their own
design. These dragons wanted the sword intact should they
ever need the blade to kill their metallic kin. Many warriors
have died seeking the treasure of the Chromatic Vault.

Chromatic Vault Features

The Chromatic Vault has the following features:
• The ceiling of the vault is 60 feet above the first floor.
• The balcony of the vault is 30 feet above the first floor.
• A detect magic spell reveals the walls of the vault
radiate auras of conjuration magic. The vault’s walls
produce clear grease and require a DC 17 Strength
(Athletics) check to climb.
• When the characters enter the vault and every 5
minutes after that, a disembodied voice whispers in
Draconic, “Show us the breaths and the hoard is yours.”
• The multicolored lights of Tiamat’s Pedestal (area U3)
dimly light the vault.

Chromatic Vault Areas

The following areas are keyed to the Chromatic Vault map.

Chromatic Vault Adventures

You can create your own adventures in the Chromatic
Vault or use the hooks and encounters from the
Chromatic Vault Encounters table to create an adventure.
You can roll randomly for the adventure or choose one
appropriate for the average level of the characters.

Kobold Club
A group of kobolds found the Chromatic Vault, but only
the winged kobolds were able to fly through the well
without activating its trap. The winged kobolds took this
as a sign that they are truly blessed by Tiamat.
They took up the vault as their lair and believe it is their
sworn duty to protect the place (though they have no idea
what its purpose is). The kobolds without wings left the
vault in a huff.
Story Hook. A village near the vault is raided by Fezlet
and Kronic, two winged kobolds stealing food for their kin
in the vault. A character who succeeds on a DC 7 Charisma
(Intimidation or Persuasion) check gets a captured
kobold to reveal the entrance to the vault. If one of the
kobolds dies, the other flees, and a character who makes a
successful DC 10 Wisdom (Perception or Survival) check
follows the fleeing kobold’s trail to the vault.
