Chapter 1: What happened in the previous episodes of the heist story?
Welcome to Legends of Avantris. Here's what happened last time.
It's the big game.
Right. Oh, that fling flow game you're talking about all the time?
Yeah, the grand fling flow championship.
The main problem with three to five million gold pieces is that, you know how much one million gold pieces weigh?
Come on and slam and welcome to the jam. Welcome to the final 42nd grand fling flow championship. A giant fleshy orb behind the back of this bar, what appears to have multiple stalks of eyes pulling out from the top of its head.
You mean someone else is trying to steal from the vault before we do?

Chapter 2: How do the characters plan to execute the heist?
a heavy iron reinforced door that appears to be closed and locked. I'm going to walk up to the door and open it. As soon as the door closed, you have jumped from wherever it was in the top of this building to some other plane of existence, staring out down the mountain, down the citadel, all the way around. You seem to be in a completely new place. place surrounded by mountains of treasure.
And it's not the clicking of the elevator that you hear anymore, but the loud thump, thump, thump of some massive creature walking. On the eastern shores of Yona there lies the great city of Galtica, staring out into a dark and turbulent ocean. But Galtica is not where the next chapter in this story resumes.
Instead, you find yourself standing on a great tower or citadel or castle atop of what feels like an impossibly huge mountain that stretches down all around you. The blue sky spans in all directions, for you are just above a cloud line which tightly circles the base of this massive rock, obscuring any hints of the terrain below.
Something tells you that you are impossibly high in the air, but it is not unpleasant. Cool winds whip around you as the bright sun warms your skin. Not everything has gone according to plan, or hasn't it?
You and your crew have been able to infiltrate the silver lining casino, navigate through the labyrinthine halls behind the gaming rooms, trick guards without setting off any alarms or traps, vanquish a sentinel beholder, and cleverly break into the vault. Running into another crew of thieves, a gang of dark elves, may have been a surprise, but it was a threat you were able to manage together.
Until now, one could say this heist has been going fairly smoothly. Until now. The moment the vault door closed, surrounded by treasure worth millions and millions in gold, there was an extra planar shift, transporting you and this loot to the strange new place you now find yourselves in. The next few moments could spell victory or disaster for your effort. Here is what you know.
The 42nd Grand Flim Flal Championship is over. Whatever the outcome, there are now guards heading back to the Vault to collect the necessary gold needed to reward those who bet on the games in full, and they'll be here in just a few minutes. On your side of the Vault, The sound of heavy footfalls grows louder and louder and louder with each step.
A booming voice tells you something massive is coming. Perhaps the owner of this vault and the casino in Galtica is on their way, and that this creature will be here in just a few minutes. The next step in your plan was to collect the loot. Thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps more than 100,000 pounds of gold pieces, gems, artifacts, some magical.
Time may now be limited, but for all this to be worth it, this crucial step in your plan needs to happen in the next few minutes. And you need to get away with it. However the next few moments play out, you need to get back home from wherever you are now with your millions and not get caught. Powerful people care about what you're taking, the approaching giant notwithstanding.

Chapter 3: What challenges do the characters face during the heist?
I look around immediately to see if I can see where this is coming from.
Do you approach the edge to look down? This is a pretty wide open citadel top.
You're effectively on top of a tower and looking over the tessellated edges of this tower beyond the sort of columns that make the formation of this vault room or what would have been the vault room before this transformation, you can see that there are two other smaller towers just adjacent as if you were on a castle of some kind. But you don't see any heads emerging just yet or anything.
You just hear the sound semi-distantly, and you're not sure how long it'll take a creature this size, depending on the size of this castle, to get here.
Oh fuck, we don't have much time. You're sweating something off. Do you need a handkerchief?
Does anyone else feel like they have increased sweating and increased nervousness? Who won?
Here you go, and I pull my handkerchief out of my coat pocket, and you'll see that it's tied to another handkerchief, and it's tied to a, so however many handkerchiefs, I'd like to use my twist of foresight. Oh, they're up here.
We didn't get them down.
Because you have two of them, right?

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the portable holes and magical items?
Typically you do it before the roll, but I'll allow it. Am I rolling a two or no?
I can add it if I see the roll, he inspired me.
14.
14, and, oh, that's gonna be an insight.
Am I helping him because I'm a mastermind?
No.
At this point, I don't think that you can in the reality of this moment.
Oh, it's my drow magic, you'll never find the treasure.
You, in your haste and clear franticness, he seems to be at least not disbelieving that one of the holes seemingly disappeared, and he seems even more suspicious of this drow that you guys have accosted.
