The Swallowed Coin

"The Swallowed Coin" is the 63rd session of the Legend of the Leaves campaign.
It took place in the Cursed Books of Candlekeep questline of Arc 4: A Smell of Calamity.
==Synopsis==
In the abandoned cloud giant castle, the Leaves manage to find their way around lava pits and reaching the basement of the castle. Here, Zakrim set up a trap, blasting them with his crystal cannon. The Leaves defeat him and free Azzam, who keeps true to his promise and grants them one use of the wish spell. They wish for the author of the book that writes itself to appear in front of them. After granting the wish, a boy in teared down cloths appears, presenting himself as a victim of Vecna. After a few minutes of interrogation, they let him go, only for him to appear in his true form and introducing himself as Janus. He reveals to them that they already met on Island Number 7 where he portrayed himself as Vecna. Before leaving them, he gives them a coin each, telling them to swallow it if they want access to unlimited power.
Later that day, after returning to Candlekeep, Gambino succumbs to that offer, swallows the coin and turns against the Leaves.
