Dungeon 4: Vault of the Black Dragon

Our fourth Dungeon is the Vault of the Black Dragon

I have added some extra information to the Dungeon Environment section on this dungeon to include some General furnishings and personal items that the players might find laying around the vault, things that The Black Dragon and his gang of nefarious ne’er-do-wells might have in their possession.

Location: Catacombs or sewers beneath a city
Creator:  Humans
Dungeon Purpose: Treasure Vault
History: Overrun by planar creatures

This old set of storage rooms was originally used by the builders of the city as material storage, but the entrance was closed off when the rooms where no longer needed. An extra planar traveller known as the Black Dragon, due to his love of using weapons and magic with imbued with acid, or corrosive properties, opened a planar portal and bought his retinue of rouges, cut throats and thieves here to plunder and pillage the town and surrounding area.

These environmental and atmospheric features should be used to give a general feeling for the dungeon and can be placed in any rooms that you feel they should feature. They can be used as little or as often as you feel is appropriate for your game.
