OK so my group is going to the Demon wastes in their next session. I figured that getting there is going to be the main part of the next session. But I need a helping hand on what too have in the castle.
Now their reason for going there is to get their hands on a part of an eldritch machine (read doomsday device). That the Lord of blades, emerald claw, dreaming dark and a random dragons bellow cult wants their hands on.
I have not yet decided how many parts there is too collect, only that its more than three. Nor have I decided what its supposed to do.
The castle don't really have to be there for the artifact itself, it would actually be nice if the castle was doing something more than just be a storage house for random loot...

The party consists of:
Dragonborn Fighter (2h)
Human cleric of silver flame.
Changeling/Doppelganger wizard
Shifter Ranger (2w)
all lvl 3 on their way to 4.

Anything from loose ideas to general floorplans is welcome.
And thanks in advance.

How about this:

The castle was originally commissioned by house Tharashk (built with the help of some of the other houses). it stands on top of a large ground fissure, the castle is split into two complexes the outer ring consists of a large wall with inner barracks and storage areas it surrounds the inner castle which is actually a huge (castle size) elevator. the entire inner castle can be lowered down into the fissure all the way down into a large Khyber cavern.

The purpose was to have a very defensive foothold inside the Khyber depths from it prospectors can depart, locate and retrieve Khyberian dragonshards. The "elevator" also has a middle level (that was not in the original design) in which mines where dug after the discovery of some rare ores.

Near the start of the Last War it was overrun by a barbarian horde and the project was abandoned.
