The Deck of Many Many (Maybe too many) Things

 

After defeating the red dragon atop the ancient dragon council tower, Krirve steadies himself and says, "Things are far worse than I thought.  Only the most dire of circumstances would compel the Metallic Dragons to meet openly and allow a Red to follow them or discover their whereabouts.  Please come back to my house, I have something that may prove useful."

After returning, Krirve produces a small deck of cards.  "This is the Deck of Many Many Things.  It contains cards that are wondrous and disastrous.  There are rules.  If one member of your party draws, you must all draw. Before you draw a card, you must declare how many cards you intend to draw and then draw them randomly. Any cards drawn in excess of this number have no effect. Otherwise, as soon as you draw a card from the deck, its magic takes effect. You must draw each card one after the other. If you fail to draw the chosen number, the remaining number of cards fly from the deck on their own and take effect all at once.  This deck is unusual as drawn cards are replaced, making it possible to pull a card repeatedly.

"I want to draw 4", Volok declared, committing the party to drawing.  On his first draw he pulled "The Void":

This black card spells disaster. Your soul is drawn from your body and contained in an object in a place of the DM's choice. One or more powerful beings guard the place. While your soul is trapped in this way, your body is incapacitated. A wish spell can't restore your soul, but the spell reveals the location of the object that holds it. You draw no more cards.

His eyes dim and his body falls to the ground.  

I'm not going to go through all the draws but there are a few points I want to make sure I have right:

• Isabrix and Elric pulled cards that advanced them to level 7
• Zofia pulled a card that advanced her to level 10 (I incorrectly communicated level 9 earlier)
• At least a couple of you are rich
• Shardon and Kali pulled Talons and lost all of their magical items (Kali retained her wand, as it is an arcane focus and not itself, magic)
• Hannahlore pulled the Idiot but, at present, its effect is nullified by the crown of intellect.
• Hannahlore also pulled the Moon, granting her 4 wishes

*please point out anything major missing from the list.

**someone has a dragon wing - its not magic so is retained - I don't know who has it

You then teleport to the next guardian, Keishara, she tells you that she can aid your negotiations with the dwarves, but lets you know that something has been around town boastful of being important to the "end of the world", no one has given him much credit due to him being so loud about it, cambions are, after all, known to be very self important.  The devil caught Keishara's eye when he disappeared into a keep just outside of town.

The party went to the keep and did some smart stuff to avoid some fights.  They ended up defeating a very large Beholder. 

After the battle they heard a pounding through a wall and discovered a hidden room containing the previously mentioned Cambion.  He was very rude but ultimately game up his mission, protecting an Infernal Contract.  On threat of his life or imprisonment, he produces the contract.  It is between Elric's grandfather and the Dragon Queen Tiamat.  It trades the souls of Elric's ancestors and progeny for the ability to be a powerful enough spellcaster to open a portal to Hell.  

Grim news indeed...

Embarrassed and fearing punishment, Harvey (the Cambion) agrees to join the party.
