				An ancient Wizard, looking for power had locked themselves away in a secluded tower. It has been centuries since anyone has heard from them. Their discoveries and magics had laid in secret. The Labyrinth Mind Guild has tasked a select few of it's members to delve into the Underdark and find this place. Records state that this Wizard was trying to bring greenery and life to places where it was not.<br><br>The wizard's name was Ikanera, a few of you have been selected to investigate this lost paradise.<br>---------<br>The dossier reads as follows:<br><em>Many hundreds of years ago, a wizard named Ikanera constructed a magical vault to protect specimens of the local plants and animals. She spent years shaping the bedrock into a large cavern and enchanting the ceiling to mimic the light in the sky outside. She created a subterranean paradise full of life. Her obsession with preserving this vault for posterity led her to seal herself inside and lock the door with a powerful curse, accompanied only by the water elementals she summoned and controlled to help tend to the plants. Within this paradise something stirred, sensing the life and beauty within the vault, it slowly corrupted the mind of the wizard over many years. <br>The wizard has long since died, or so the record states but the creations within have kept this secret paradise full of life and wonder to this day. <br><br>We desire to add Ikanera's spellbook to our Gallery. We request you go within this Lost Paradise and retrieve it.</em><br>-----<br>Your group currently finds themselves at the mouth of a cave, leading down to the hidden sanctuary.<br>

He reads the dossier probably third time as he looks into mouth of the cave as he asks; "Huh, dossier fails mention that the door has been opened so the curse is still in place in the entrance. Figures that ensures the spellbook is still there on sanctuary and thus there would be no need for us get it if the door has been breached. Anyone got idea what curse it is and can we anyway dispel it?" Zorira had recently met the others, having not worked with them in past but he knew faces and names just reputation alone as they all were fairly accomplished adventurers. But personally not, albeit looking at <strong>Violka</strong> or <strong>Asena</strong> he would not mind getting know them more, even intimately, with either or both. As that much his admiring gazes on both tiefling women would tell. His mother had been nagging about him get grandchildren for her (and likely get up continue family tradition to be warlocks) for a long while now. She had a fit when after one daring adventure Zorira gained a small across his face making her realize her son may die any moment in a venture.

The one upside to this, one could say, was learning its contents pretty well. "Nope. Far as the Guild knows, she's still locked in there. I would agree she's dead, but you know wizards: slippery as the Hells are torturous." It didn't take a look around to remember in this moment that his companions all happened to be descended from Demons--or was it Devils? He sure as hell hoped they didn't hate hell metaphors...or was it similes?<br><br>"Anyhow, I got this shield," he said, hefting the kite shaped metal in all its scratched, scraped, hardy glory. It was much like his voice in those ways. "If and when you're all ready, I could take point." There was a quiet from him for a few beats, then he added, "Getting attacked by wretched creatures from the dark abyss of wherever the fuck...well, it's my favorite thing to do." This assertion came with a grim face and emphatic nod. Sounding sarcastic was not his strong suit.

Aesthetic is important guys. Though it didn't stop her from acting like it didn't faze her at all. Swiftly she took the paper from Zorira's hand to read it over once more for herself. "Dead or not dead, this isn't going to be that bad of a mission if you ask me guys. Get the book, get out of there. Easy." Even though she spoke of an easy mission, she did have her hand resting on her rapier. You can never be too careful around wizard caves. She had been burned by that one too many times before. In her few years as adventurer Asena had some experience that could be seen as very good 'life lessons' at best. Don't wake an ogre in his beauty sleep, very bad idea. Goblins do not enjoy listening to guitar music. And tavern owners do not enjoy you randomly starting to dance on a table. “I mean how bad can it be? There are&nbsp; four of us and only one wizard. If we play it smart, we can handle it well enough. Let's go!”<br>

				The cavern seems to open up from below the ground. As you approach, the light from the sky overhead illuminates the area below to show a <br>wide cave entrance that ends abruptly at what appears to be a smooth and polished doorway standing 10 feet high. The doorway appears to be shaped from the stone around it, but no sign of a crack or hinges are visible. <br><br>Fortune has smiled on Violka: for as she approaches and gets close to the doorway, she pauses as words appear on this doorway. You read what it says, it is in the common text<br><br><strong>"Here lies the sanctum of the great spellweaver Ikanera, collector of this realm’s most valuable treasures. Wealth immeasurable and power unfathomable lie within, waiting for those who should claim it.

Also you cannot indeed presume about the wizards, sadly so many had sought ways to cheat death. Not many in nice way." As Asena cheerfully describes job easy, he chuckles and replies; "Simple in idea but in regards powerful wizards which have likely stored deadly traps, wards and perhaps bound magical creatures or outsiders on her lair it's not that easy. Also one archmage can wipe out armies with flick of a finger so better not underestimate tricks what arcane magic can bring. Better we get the book and leave without confronting the owner of it."

				As you step into the hallway of stone, a gust of air ﬂows out from within, carrying with it the smell of ﬂowers growing in a denseforest.

The ceiling rises some 50 feet above you, and the rocky walls of the cave smoothly transition into a view of a clear blue sky with a warm sun shining down upon you. The sunlight inside the cavern illuminates a ﬂourishing paradise of trees and plants, the likes of which you have never seen before. The entire cavern is ﬁlled with greenery: ferns, trees, bushes, shrubbery, fruit-bearing trees, and much more ﬁll the room. Directly in front of you,a meticulously well-kept path leads straight through the trees to a pool of crystal clear water some 30 feet across. On the other side of the pool, you can see a similarly well-kept path leading to the opposite side of the cavern.<br><br>((Violka with your glances around the area, darkness does not inhibit you as the area is very well lit. You also notice that the fabricated sunlight mimics what was going on outside, the positioning is the same. Because you rolled a natural 20 you manage to also spot some odd fungii&nbsp; that periodically litter areas along the path, always close to any entrance ways or gateways.))

"Alright, keep your secrets," he said with a smirk, one that quickly fell as he proceeded seriously, "so your order thinks all inner darkness can be fixed. Darkness of <em>any</em> kind?"

So piss off." Asena was too proud to admit he might be kind of right. She did wear very revealing clothes but that was none of his business. "Anyhow. Ziolka, go take a look then, but I meant casting darkness <em>around</em> them so that we could pass unknowingly. But then again, with those shrooms around, I doubt we can make it through... I think indeed trying another passage will be our best bet."<br><br>Asena took a step forward as quietly as she could, she looked around the clearing, making sure not to be too close to the mushrooms to see. "I mean if all else fails we can still fight them. I just don't think we should exhaust ourselves too much this early in this cave, who knows what might lie ahead. We should try to conserve our energy." Though she was speaking to preserve their energy, Asena did grab hold of her dagger, just to be sure to be able to jump into battle whenever they needed to. <br><br>((I'd like to give the bardic inspiration of the day to Zel, under the idea it might come in handy both in combat or if he might need to do a stealth check.

				Steath, unfortunately was not the groups strong point at the moment. The Shriekers let out their namesake sound; a cry of warning and annoyance.

So he moves slowly around, avoiding the mushrooms, so that he lures perhaps elementals and golems to move deeper into the forest but also spot where he can with simple teleport spell move into path, near to one unguarded exits and perhaps one which group used to leave the area while he moo's away.

				As you take a path around, there appears to be another archway that opens up to the garden and the pool.

				The door, while intricate in it's design was simple in it's execution. During her check of the door Violka finds no traps, and the door itself to be unlocked. The wizard apparently did not think anyone could make it this far into their domain.
