The temple is a forgotten Temple of Kalma, un-touched for hundreds of years allowing the bog to endlessly fester. Inside the temple they find animated plants and insect-like life that feast upon one another's corpses in a constant cycle, the more the player's kill the more will be summoned until they kill the boss who explodes in hormonal acid, repelling further insects from the players. In this temple, they find an Altar to Kalma and upon it an ornate box. Any player who picks up the box will activate a voice to appear in the temple explaining that once the box is opened, it can never be closed again. Inside the box they are told is sickness, death, and horrible evil which will irrevocably scar Mordavia until its last days, but those who opened the box would learn the secrets of how to master, control, and fight these horrible things. The box is put into the player's control with a letter inside to be read aloud if opened. Upset by this, as it is not what he is looking for, Artemis collects some samples and guides them back to town, allowing them to decide whether or not to open the box.

Once the Hospital is constructed Artemis will learn of the location of the Chalice of Panacea if the heroic souls choose to open the box.

Episode TBD
Artemis travels to a hidden cave in Merchant's Pass as told by the note from Kalma's box. There he finds an ancient Temple filled with traps and automatons. There are many warnings written on the walls and even a note left by a Seeker of the Truth, indicating that they've tried everything they can but they weren't able to open the next chamber which leads into an ancient vault built during the war against necromancy. The note will say that the door is opened by some kind of pressure system, but that water and any other substance the Seekers of Truth had on hand wouldn't work, and that they would be back to open this "Bloody Door". Artemis and any other Tier 5 Healing Arts character will realize that the ornate piping and needlework on the door is meant to extract blood. The secret is 25 Health worth of Human Blood. Once behind the door, the players will meet an ancient knight of the King's order who is old and decrepit. He will have them choose amongst the cups and if they choose incorrectly they die. If they choose correctly he will inform them that the cup's magic can only work here, as this was an ancient healing center created by the king to be a hospital during the war. If the cup is removed from the vault, all who attempt to leave it will die and the cup will lost forever, then he keels over his mission complete. Artemis chooses to stay with the cup and research it, as a vampire he needs no food and can survive for many years in this one spot researching. The episode after Artemis completes his goal, he will write the players a letter informing them of a "second vault" segwaying them to the "Vaults of Mechanus" plotline.

During the end of the Adventure, Blackbeard will ensure that Redbeard is taken alive and brought back to town. In the town, the other members of the pirate council are present during the interrogation.

The players must immediately decide to fight the pirate council, or kill redbeard. If the players fight the pirate council, Blackbeard will tell them with his dying breath that he has hidden the key for the vault, and that Redbeard or the players will never find it.
