So my players are in a bit of a pickle. They're 3/4 of the way through the Dungeon of the Dead Three and may have to retreat or face a TPK.
I'm considering having Mortlock Vanthampur meet them as he retreats. That way the heroes have an opportunity to hear the clues they need to proceed with the story and still be able to retreat.
However this means they will miss out on Tiamat's treasure. How important is that treasure? Aside from obvious financial gain, and a brief encounter with dragon cultists, would they miss out on anything else if they left without the treasure?
