As with most capitals, Korint has a Kasarian Embassy. The embassy is a sizeable, three story building with a large, walled yard with a gate at the back. There are alleys on either side and their direct neighbors are an orphanage and a greengrocers / general goods merchant.

Plans are discussed and eventually Regius goes inside with a somewhat changed appearance as an itinerant priest of Ulaa. He starts a fight that soon leads to a fog cloud, a shattered front door and the half-orc only barely escaping with his life.

But it does provide a distraction and the others slip in through the backdoor and then very skillfully break open the door to the cellar, Hanur, Julian, and Wanda unerringly know they way to the vault. Once downstairs they are attacked by wingless dragon-type creatures. Fortunately two sleep spells by Arosin and some melee attacks by the others takes care of them.

The vault is locked but Wanda produces a key that fits the lock, she tells them it cost her a lot.

Inside there are quite a few things, most with a little piece of paper with descriptive text (in a language no one speaks, later translated in the Fort Gunnlaeif Dungeon) next to it, including these:

  • A brutal looking spear fashioned from a single piece of onyx with supple black leather wrapped around the shaft - taken by Julian.
  • A weathered and beaten chain forged of cold iron with a supple black leather collar attached to one end - taken by Wanda.
  • A compact book, small enough to fit inside a large pocket - when Reb sees it, he knows he must have it and he takes it with him.
  • A large metal chest that seems to snarl.
  • A vial containing a thick, red-orange substance that moves slowly inside of it - Regius quickly snags this one.
  • A wand made of marble, topped by a tourmaline.
  • A large black diamond on a velvet pillow.
  • A small box made of lead.
  • A metal gauntlet pitted green, sized for an ogre.
  • A statue of a perched dragon - taken by Hanur.
  • A vibrant purple prism.
  • A pick-axe made of copper.
  • A blob of gel.

The party then quickly vacate the premises but not before being spotted. Fortunately, they take a horse and manage to lose their pursuers.
