Forgotten Cache of the Lower Vault

After prying open a sandstone niche in a damp corridor, the party finds a small, dust-choked chamber that once served as a supply cache for a long-abandoned expedition into the deeper levels. The air is stale; mildew and the steady drip of groundwater have pitted metal and softened leather, but careful hands recover portable riches and useful supplies — a mix of coin, trade goods, and a few items that bear faint, practical enchantments. Nothing here is ostentatiously legendary, but it’s exactly the sort of haul a well-traveled, level-5 party would expect from a mid-depth dungeon: enough coin to cover supplies and bribes, a few gems to trade or fence, useful crafting components, and one or two minor magical items that tip the balance in a tight fight or a tricky climb.
