However, orcs from the Fangfist tribe steal the Diamond Staff of Chomylla from Imani's tower. The Zhentarim are the true culprits but they have merely been hired by a sembian mage to obtain the staff for his shadovar masters, however, the leader of the contingent of mercenaries betrays her employer to keep the Staff for herself. The woman fled to Peldan's Helm in Mistledale, where she hoped to open the Vault of Song and plunder the artifacts and lore held within but was being chased by Dretchroyaster's dragon cultist minions. A three-way battle for the Staff ensues inside the Vault between agents of Imani, the Zhentarim and the cultists.
