The Cave
The cave which Bey Wyvernthorn is using
as a base is located just off a secret tunnel connected
to the sewer tunnels beneath the
Thieves’ Quarter. Once a suitable host for the
haunt is found, the adventurers can find the
cave because Aliar Daraan knew its location.
This part of the adventure takes place after
dark. The PCs can either follow or accompany
the volunteer to the cave. When the volunteer
arrives, Wyvernthorn will be in the cave along
with 5 hirelings, all members of the Cult of
Iuz. Wyvernthorn knows that he is to be contacted
by someone, but he does not know who
his contact is. He was told only that the contact
would carry a black metal dagger. As long
as the volunteer carries the dagger,
Wyvernthorn will not be suspicious. After the
haunt has passed on its information to
Wyvernthorn, its smoky form will coil forth
from the volunteer. What the volunteer can do
will then depend on whether the volunteer
was a PC or an NPC.
In either case, the former host will be very
dazed and confused, most likely mumbling
and asking where he is and how he came to be
there. A PC’s actions should be role-played; an
NPC will attempt to leave as he gathers sufficient
wit, and tries to remember why he is in a
cave in the city’s sewers. At this point
Wyvernthorn will order his hirelings kill the
volunteer. They will most likely succeed unless
the PCs enter the cave to save him.

Bey Wyvernthorn is a spy working for the
Cult of Iuz inside the City of Greyhawk. When
the forces of Iuz need information or goods
from the city, Wyvernthorn provides it for
them. He has gathered a small group of hirelings,
all also loyal to the Cult of Iuz. He has
dreams of future power once Iuz takes over.

The secret cave that Wyvernthorn is using is
comprised of three small rooms, all connected
by short tunnels.
Main Room: The first room, which connects
to the sewer tunnel, is roughly circular, with a
diameter of approximately 25 feet. On the
west side of the room sits a large table and
several chairs. Here, Wyvernthorn and his
hirelings meet to discuss their various operations
in and around the City of Greyhawk.
Across the room are four large chests. One
holds provisions (food, blankets, torches, firewood,
etc.), while another holds a small number
of weapons (5 short swords, 10 daggers, 2
light crossbows with quarrels). In the third
chest are a number of maps to various buildings
in the city. As Wyvernthorn is a spy within
the Thieves’ Guild, maps of many of the
guild’s lairs are in this chest (including a map
that pinpoints the location of a secret sewer
lair used by the Assassins’ Guild).
The fourth chest contains all of the funds
Wyvernthorn has at his disposal to finance his
operations. The total amount in this chest is
3,000 gp, including three 500 gp gems, and
five 100 gp pearls. This chest is protected by
an acid trap that can be disarmed with any
successful remove traps roll. Failure means
acid squirts out, inflicting 2d8 acid damage
and destroying the treasure.
On the northern side of the room are a pair
of doors, each leading to a short tunnel. The
tunnels are six feet in height, and are roughly
10 feet long.
The Left Door: The left door leads to a
small square room that serves as the hirelings’
quarters. There are five bunks in this room,
along with the belongings of all the hirelings.
Aside from some clothes of good quality and
ten wineskins, there is little of value to the PCs
in this room.
The Right Door: The door to the right leads
the door to Bey Wyvernthorn’s room. The door
is wooden and locked. It is not trapped, and
Wyvernthorn has the key on his person at all
times. The room is appointed with a large bed
and footlocker. In the footlocker, the PCs will
find four complete sets of fine clothing, along
with many of Wyvernthorn’s thieving tools.
These include two sets of thieves’ picks, a
