Book 4 Chapter 5

Now on the other side of the portal, the party finds themselves in what looks like a paradise. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there is no trace of the harsh environment they left behind. Although it is quite comfortable, as they look around, they see that this area is made up of many different floating chunks of land, each about 100 feet in diameter, connected to each other with rope bridges.

Across the bridge in front of them they see a chunk of land with a hooded creature on it, and they walk towards it. As they approach it, the party finds a creature made of metal that has the facial features of a humanoid. The creature welcomes the party, telling them they have reached their destination. Everyone in the party asks at the same time, "Is this really the Vault of Secrets?", and the creature confirms this. The creature informs the party that there will be many challenging tests ahead of them and that once they enter they may not leave. The party agrees and walks through a nearby portal that takes them to a new area.

Using their wit and intelligence, the group successfully solves many different puzzles. They had to make their way across a series of disappearing floor tiles, help 8 sisters make peace, get an animated head to say "monkey", arrange books in a specific way, survive a rushing ceiling, find their way out of a room, and let a countdown finish. After they finish the final puzzle, they are transported to yet another room, wondering what new challenge they will face...
