Hidden Laboratory Opening and Pact Revelation

Summary

Opening Brutor Rubyeye’s Laboratory with the password “Spinal” gave the party access to Ruby Eye’s memory archives, pylon designs, elemental-containment systems, museum artifacts, and a model of the Barrier and Grand Towers. The memories connected Brutor Ruby Eye, Ennui, Joy, the five wizards, and The Pact to the Barrier’s construction and the old prison network. The party also confronted a fragmentary void creature in a separate pylon chamber, recovered dangerous books and rings, and faced black dragonborn agents likely acting for Infestus, while a storm and the black dragon’s demand for his son’s skull exposed the continuing danger outside the laboratory.
