What Happened

This session begins the Vithyrex Maze proper: the party explores trap-heavy corridors, finds boon books and romantic magic items, meets Aizan, discovers the roaming eye hazard, is split by maze effects, and learns that four missing heart segments are required to open the purple exit portal.

Event

Consequence

Act 5’s Vithyrex turn now centers on love as identity, temptation, toxic attachment, and self-discovery. The dungeon is not just a maze but an emotional sorting mechanism where books, traps, and NPCs ask why each character is truly there.

Future Hook

Continue in the maze with the party split. Primary objective: find four heart segments and avoid the Vithyrex eye.

Notes
