This is the COPPER version which includes the 13th-Level PDF and The Handouts
The Vault of Terror is a Fifth Edition adventure designed for three to five characters of 11th-to-13th-level and is optimized for five characters with an average party level (APL) of 13. The adventure takes place in the mysterious Vault of Terror, a deadly dungeon filled with tricks, traps, and horrible monsters.
Damn That Vault
Some say the ghost of a dead archmage created it. Others muse that it is home to a humanoid conqueror who uses it for entertainment. There are those who theorize that a vampire, lich, or vile wraith is at its center. No matter who or what inhabits The Vault of Terror, it has long called to those who crave adventure and treasure.
The Vault of Terror has no set location. Seemingly at random, the Vault appears in different locations and at different intervals. It might stay in one location for a few weeks, maybe even months. Other times, it only opens its doors for an hour before vanishing.
This potentially short window forces treasure hunters to drop whatever they’re doing and rush into The Vault, lest it vanishes before they can claim its legendary trove—The Vault of Terror is rumored to contain mountains of gold, precious gems the size of one’s fist, and magical artifacts forged by the gods themselves.
It’s Just Evil
The Vault of Terror isn’t haunted. It’s not managed by humanoid conquerors or diabolical undead. The Vault of Terror is just evil. It enjoys killing those who dare enter its dusty corridors. It enjoys stealing treasure from foolish adventurers who succumb to its traps. It enjoys eating the souls of the brave and foolhardy. There is only one way to defeat the Vault: don’t go in. If you do, inevitably, The Vault wins. Nobody yet has been lucky enough to leave with their lives.
So, enter… if you dare!

Are the handouts actually available anywhere?
Where can i get the handout?
DM Dave
That's weird. Works fine for me. The link is at the bottom, just above the comments.
Still can’t download the PDF
DM Dave
Yes, it does. I'll probably add the handouts today to it 'cause yeah... it was confusing haha
Steve Cansdale
Gotcha. Module text is a little unclear on t hat point ;-) I assume the Roll20 version has all the "assets" as well?
DM Dave
Mostly the diagrams and puzzles.
DM Dave
It’s the same as the Foundry pack. Sorry for the confusion
Steve Cansdale
I still cannot see the asset pack listed - is that coming?
What kind of things would be on a hand out if we can't afford to buy the asset pack or the roll 20 version?
DM Dave
Sorry, this wasn't supposed to be live yet. It'll be live in a few hours.

How do we get the maps as a one time purchase?

If I may ask, where is the Asset Pack mentioned in Encounter 3?
