The Demons Book

Overview

A Demon will try to pawn off a book on the party that will ensnare and teleport the party to the demons lair.

Trigger

The women (demon in disguise) will try to sell the book to who ever wants to buy it. She will start by asking 1,000 for the book, but will go as low as 100. The demon wants to sell the book so he can ensnare the party and use their souls.

Description

While walking down the street you see what appears to be a women dressed in robes waving you over to the alley. Strung over her back is a bound leather sack. She is wearing an amulet (that radiates magic) and a small black dagger stuck in her belt.

Dm notes

The book does radiates a strong magic. The women will open the book briefly to show that there is magical writing inside it, but then close it before they get the chance to read it. After the book is sold the women leaves (goes back to its lair). When the party starts to read the book it teleports all within 10' radius down to the demons lair. The lair is deep below the city (under the sewers). It is hot and steamy and water(sewer) seeps down the walls. A red fire light comes from a pit in the center of the room, next to which the demon is standing. He smiles at the party and then says "Welcome". After which he attacks. [Note: this should be for a higher level party. If not you can have a group of adventures save the party from the demon. (they were hunting it)]. There is a small chest with treasure in it from previous people teleported in.

Key

If the party escapes out through the sewers the demon might try to hunt them down, or send minons after them.
