| 【简 介】 | 奥库斯之剑Orcusword 是奥库斯作为巴洛炎魔时期的配剑，与奥库斯/晦暗存在着强烈的联系。在创造了著名的奥库斯之杖后，一度封神的奥库斯交给自己最伟大的代理人临时使用。 当齐雅温纱丽突袭弑杀了奥库斯并接管了桑纳托斯（深渊第113层）后，这是少数几件奥库斯仆从抢救出来的宝物。 |

13 宝库VAULT
这处小宝库有四个石瓮、一只中型箱子、以及一柄挂在远处墙上的剑。
This small treasure vault contains four stone urns, a medium-sized chest, and a sword mounted on the far wall.
这些石瓮高5呎，上面有沉重的大盖子覆盖。每个瓮包含约1,000金币（上下波动3d10金币）——有时甚至是 塔纳厘不死领主undead tanar'ri lords 也需要一点零钱。
The urns are 5 feet tall and stoppered with large, heavy lids. Each contains about 1,000 gp, give or take 3d10 gp -sometimes even undead tanar'ri lords need a little jink.
[译注：印记城黑话—Jink：穷人的目标：钱或硬币。如"That's going to take a lot of jink!" 是说贿赂得花好多钱。各种硬币具体的黑话有greens, stingers, baubles, jinx, 和merts，具体请见异域世界的金融体系]
箱子则被锁上了；在箱子里，玩家会发现一系列细长的隔间。每个隔间都有一根魔杖（晦暗Tenebrous 爱死它们了），它们的形状被塑造地犹如权杖，并且尺寸几乎有法杖那么大。这些战利品包括：一支 魔法飞弹魔杖wand of magic missiles（8发），一柄 侦测陷阱魔杖wand of trap derection（29发），一柄 幻象魔杖wand of illusion，一柄 照明魔杖wand of illumination（24发），以及一柄 恐惧魔杖wand of fear（10发）。
The chest is locked; inside, the PCs find a series of long, thin compartments. Each compartment contains a wand (Tenebrous loves'em) that's shaped like a scepter and nearly the size of a magical rod. The booty includes: a wand of magic missiles (8 charges), a wand of trap derection (29 charges), a wand of illusion (4 charges). a wand of illumination (24 charges), and a wand of fear (10 charges).
然而，这些魔杖受到了保护。在箱子内和盖上，有一块以某种古老的邪恶语言书写的匾额（可借助 通晓语言comprehend languages 法术或是成功的古代语言熟练检定破译）。匾额上写着：“索要属于你的东西，现在与永远。”为了安全取得魔杖，玩家必须自私地抓住它，并宣称它属于自己。否则，尝试取下魔杖的小偷将遭受3d4点点击伤害。
However, the wands are protected. On the interior or the chest's lid is a plaque written in an ancient, evil tongue (decipherable with a comprehend languages spell or a successful ancient languages proficiency check). The plaque reads: "Claim what's yours, now and forever." In order to take a wand safely, a PC must grab it selfishly and proclaim it to be his. Trying to remove a wand otherwise results in the thief suffering 3d4 points of electrical damage.
匾额上写的“永远”同样重要。瞧，一旦某个巴佬成功认领了一柄魔杖，每当他试图将它卖掉、交易掉、赠予掉、或是以其它方式放弃所有权——即便是在其发数用完之后——都将遭受一次惩罚（3d4点伤害）。如果有不法之徒偷走了魔杖，这位倒霉鬼玩家仍将遭受3d4点伤害。一旦认领，魔杖就是他的。（这是晦暗的荒唐笑话，但也体现了他的宗教哲学：“我的就是我的。”）
It's also imponant to note that the plaque says "forever." See, once a berk successfully claims a wand, he suffers a onetime punishment (3d4 points of damage) if he ever tries to sell it, trade it, give it away, or otherwise rescind his ownership -even after the wand's been drained of charges. If a cross-trader steals the wand, the poor PC still suffers 3d4 points of damage. Once claimed, the wand is his. (This is Tenebrous's strange idea of a joke, but it also exemplifies his religion's tenet that "What's mine is mine.")
[译注：印记城黑话—Berk：巴佬。一个笨蛋，尤指那些因为搞不清状况而把自己卷入大麻烦的家伙。
—Cross-trade：交叉生意。指盗窃行为或是任何非法的，见不得人的交易。A "cross-trading scum" 是指不小心碰到心情不好的慈悲杀手的小偷。]
除了那些瓮和箱子外，唯一重要的便是那柄挂在远处墙上、刃有缺口、轻微生锈的剑。这把老旧的武器是 齐雅温纱丽Kiaransalee 接管时，晦暗的仆人们设法抢救的少数宝藏之一。
Apart from the urns and the chest, the only other item of importance is a notched and slightly rusted sword hanging on the far wall. This old weapon is one of the few treasures Tenebrous's servants managed to liberate from Thanatos when Kiaransalee took over.
这件武器即 奥库斯之剑Orcusword，在很久以前，在 奥库斯Orcus 创造出他那柄著名魔杖前所使用的武器。传言说，在亿万年前他还在使用这把剑时，他还是一只 巴洛炎魔balor，后来他让自己最伟大的仆人——一度获得神性的奥库斯最伟大的代理人——暂时使用它。当这位 深渊领主the Abyssal lord 陨落后，这位武器失去了它的效力，不过晦暗仍然保留着它，将它作为往事与明日之鉴。他相信一旦自己重登曾经的地位，这把剑就将恢复其原始力量。
The weapon is the Orcusword, an ancient blade wielded by Orcus long before he created his infamous wand. Chant is he used the sword eons ago when he was still just a balor, and that he let his greatest servant - greatest proxy once Orcus achieved godhood - use it temporarily. When the Abyssal lord died, the weapon lost much of its potency, though Tenebrous still keeps it as a sign of what has come before - and what can still be. He believes that once he regains his former status, the blade will resonate with its original power.
[译注：印记城黑话—Chant, the：表示新闻，本地闲话，事实，情形或者其他任何有关当前局势的事情. "What's the chant?"是打探最新消息常用的一句话。如一定要翻译到主物质位面地球上来，那么就是”What’s Up?”]
不过，目前这把剑是一柄 +3长剑（于 无底深渊the Abyss），在自然骰出20时，能够造成2倍伤害。有趣的是，晦暗与这把剑存在着远比他与其 命匣phylactery 更强的联系。这段这柄剑将给他带来巨大的痛苦，足以让他分心数个小时——不管他当时在做什么。如果玩家们陷入了必须面对这位不死神力的可怕局面，它们可以这段这把剑并使晦暗分心足够长的时间来逃脱。当然，任何皮革脑袋到会直面晦暗的家伙，可能不会同意这样的计划。
Currently, though, the weapon is a long sword +3 (forged in the Abyss) with the ability to cause double damage on a roll of a natural 20. On a roll of a natural I, the sword breaks. Interestingly, Tenebrous's connection to the blade is somehow greater than even his link to his phylactery. Breaking the sword causes him a great deal of pain, enough to distract him for a few hours from whatever he's doing. If the PCs got into a dire situation where they had to confront the undead power, they could break the sword and distract Tenebrous long enough to escape. Course, anyone leatherheaded enough to wind up facing Tenebrous directly probably wouldn't tumble to such a plan.
[译注：印记城黑话—Leatherhead：皮革脑袋。引申为一个笨蛋，一个愚钝的或没脑子的家伙。这个词是用来称呼某人为白痴的。也可作形容词。如在 "a leatherheaded sod".]
备注Note：
如果英雄们立时折断了 奥库斯之剑。那么，晦暗将立刻感受到丧失的痛苦，返回 基安-苏美瑞城堡Tchian-Sumere、了解到入侵者的情况、策划他们的死亡。但他还不会让自己的愤怒分散注意力——一旦他找回了 奥库斯之杖Wand of Orcus，他会有足够的时间去复仇的。
Note: If the heroes break the Orcusword right away. Tenebrous immediately feels the pain of the loss, and, after returning to Tchian Sumere and learning what he can about the intruders, plots their gruesome deaths. But he won't allow his fury to distract him just yet - there'll be plenty of time for vengeance once he's recovered the Wand of Orcus.

奥库斯之剑The Orcusword
次等神器Minor Artifact
奥库斯之剑orcusword 是他在 巴洛炎魔balor 时期的个人武器。这柄 +6混沌负能量爆发亵渎巨剑chaotic consumptive burst unholy greatsword 的力量与它的主人相连，能授予神术施法者 混乱Chaos 或 不死Undeath 领域，并给予其施法属性值+5奖励。它被藏在 负能量位面Negative Energy Plane 的 基安-苏美瑞城堡Tchian-Sumere 中，由 “肿胀者”阿尔佐格拉Alzogra the Bloated 与尤格罗斯魔死灵师 伊莱里斯Yleris 看守，不过后者的最终意图是监守自盗，将它盗取交给他真正的主人——鼠疫魔王Bubonix。
The orcusword was his personal weapon during his time as a balor. This +6 chaotic consumptive burst unholy greatsword's power is linked to that of its master, granting a divine spellcaster use of the Chaos or Undeath domain and a +5 bonus to his spellcasting ability score. It resides in the fortress of Tchinan-Sumere on the Negative Energy Plane under the watch of Alzogra the Bloated and the yugoloth necromancer Yleris, though the latter has the intention of eventually stealing it on behalf of his true master, Bubonix.
