Vault of the Echoing Spire

Beneath a collapsed stairwell and behind a cleverly concealed stone panel the party finds a small vaulted chamber, its walls scored with the faded sigils of long-fallen wardens. The dust has been disturbed recently — footprints and the faint burn of old torches tell of one or two visitors who fled before finishing their looting. Inside are several crates and a locked iron coffer. The items are a mix of valuables left by merchants who sought shelter in the dungeon and tools cached by a minor cult. Nothing here is fitted to beasts or massive war gear; the finds are portable and useful for a level 5 party: coin to pay expenses, gems and trade goods to fund future ventures, a couple of reliable magic items and sundry crafting components that hint at alchemical and ritual practices once performed in these halls.
