The Eye Heist

Who will survive?

Introduction: This adventure takes place in the city of GreenVale, a large

bustling metropolis with many shops and attractions. One of these shops is
Izzy’s Adventuring Compendium, a rather unusual shop for magical items and
every adventurer's dream. Izzy’s has a reputation for having everything you
could possibly ever need for a price. The shop has just received a new
shipment of magical items, among them The Eye of the Storm King. A massive
skull sized black diamond, the Eye is desired by many within the realms,
and Wispherling Saldon, long time commander of the Ravenhood Guild (the
underground group of thieves and assassins and the life blood of the black
market in Greenvale) wants it. He has gathered a group of his best thieves
and killers to acquire it for him with a little help, pun intended, from a
wayward wizard he is sure the Eye is soon to be his.

A 3-hour evil adventure for 4-6th 3rd level

Note: Terri does not recognize this room.
There is one door on the far side of the room,

The Workroom:
The general workroom for all ordered items or

There are 2 doors, one to the main shop (DC 10)
and one to the courtyard (DC 15). The secret

Read aloud text for the Stockroom:

Izzy’s Office:
This is the small room behind the counter.
There is also a small circular rug in front of the
desk with a few chairs on top of it, obviously
placed there for visitors (a investigation roll DC
10 will reveal a teleportation circle underneath
the rug.) An investigation roll, DC 15, will reveal
a small discoloration in the wood floor to the far
right of the room. This is another of Izzy’s seals.
Terri will again be able to open this. This will
open a passage downstairs to the Vault.

Read aloud text for Izzy’s Office:

This door opens into a cluttered and

horrifically decorated office with a
large oak desk filling the center of
the room. The walls are covered in
all manner of drawings, pictures,
and tapestries each one brighter
and uglier than the last, all
fighting to be the center of
attention. There is a bright
purple rug covering the center of
the room and two ornately

sitting across from the desk.
