An evil artifact has been stolen and is currently held in the theft-proof vault of the evil wizard Castuvius, to be sold to highest bidder. The party have been hired to get the powerful item before it falls into the hands of dark powers. They are instructed to try to bargain with Castuvius first, but if they cannot get it fairly, then take it by subterfuge.
Several Unique Locking Puzzles...
Outer locked vault doors are the first step to overcome, with no handles and no locks, only an eye slit from which stare the glowing eyes skeleton of a huge skeleton. How are the doors operated? Are they magic? What are are the skeletons for? Can they be killed? Should they be?
A series of locked vault doors, protected against magics, which require a combination of keys to open. The party must determine how the combinations work. There is a number on each vault door, but how does that relate to the keys? Can the locks be picked?
