Temple of the Beast
The Temple of the Beast is Guarded by an Advanced Demonic Knight and Advanced Shadow Demons. The Demonic Knights name is Drogan he is here because this place still holds one of Lamashtu’s most prized relics and she doesn’t want any one to find it. Drogan has been here since the fall of Xin Shallast and he hates everything because he feels he has been cursed to stay here and guard this worthless place. He will talk to the PCs to get any useful information out of them before killing them. Karzoug has contacted him and is offering him help in getting unbound to Lamashtu’s relic in return for aiding him that’s why he has a Sihedron Ring

Special Abilities
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—Detect Magic, See Invisibility, Wall of Ice (DC 19); 2/day—dispel magic; 1/day—Fireball (DC 18), Symbol of Pain (DC20), Symbol of Fear (DC 21). Caster level 20th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Fear (Su): A demonic knight generates fear with but a word. Those within 30 feet that hear the knight speak must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or flee in terror for 2d4 rounds. A creature that makes a successful save is immune to the fear effect of that demonic knight for one day. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Breath of Unlife (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, a demonic knight can exhale a blast of negative energy in a 10-foot cone. Creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 28 Reflex save or take 2d4 points of Strength damage. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a demonic knight dies. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid slain by a demonic knight’s Breath of Unlife becomes a Advanced Elite Shadow Demon (see that entry) in 2d4 rounds. Spawn are under the command of the Demonic Knight that created them and remain enslaved until its death. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
Summon Demons (Sp): Once per day, a demonic knight can attempt to summon 1d4 Shadow Demons, 2 Babaus, or 1 Vrock or Hezrou with a 50% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 4th-level spell.
Shadow Blend (Su): During any conditions other than full daylight, he can disappear into the shadows, giving him total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability; a daylight spell, however, will.
Shadow Step (Su): He has the Ability to travel between shadows as if by the means of Dimension Door at will. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some shadow

So what do you guys think I need help with what the Relic will be so help me out
Well I have been thinking about this since no on here helped me (which is odd) but what i was thinking of him protecting is
The Key of Shemhazai
The Key that Lamashtu locked up the Empyreal Lord Shemhazai So if the the PCs want to have an epic adventure of freeing him from his prison could be alot of fun
|
My view of the prison Lamashtu would use is perhaps a living cage, all thick, wet, humid flesh, dripping with putresence.
The 'door' could be thick, sharp teeth. and the key... An adamantine chainmail glove (like a hardcore falconer's glove) which has some kind of knock function. And to open the door you have to 'feed' the beast (perhaps an angel's corpse, how do our heroes fake that? quandraries, quandraries...)
Anything to do with Lamashtu should be seriously warped, she's a demon lord gone divine.
