d100 Result

1

A disturbing mask made of a single long strip of pliant human skin, stitched into a widening spiral by black thread. Gaps between the stitching allow the wearer to see and breathe through the unsettling visage.

2

A envelope containing a small calling card bearing the emblem of a silver chess knight. Large bold print flanks the knight reads: “Have Sword – Will Travel”. A few concise lines informs the reader to contact “Paladin” at the Carlton Inn, located in a nearby kingdom.

3

A brass spyglass that triples the range at twice the user can accurately see but always shows a benign, peaceful sight. If there are hostile creatures, they appear as peaceful (goblins appear as deer, or trolls as trees, for example) and dangerous objects or situations appear pleasant and charming.

4

A sealed glass bottle labeled “Doctor John’s Cod Liver Oil”. The bottle is filled with a clear liquid that is so pure and so strong.

5

A large tin canister filled with dozens of small red and white striped, mint candies that each have the holy symbol of the God of Trickery stamped on one side and assorted meaningful verses from that deity’s holy text on the other. The canister’s label proclaims in large bold font that the contents are “Testamints” and are appropriate for after masses or meals. It’s unknown whether they are hilarious or blasphemous, which may be the entire point.

6

A drinking flagon made of minotaur horn. A creature who imbibes any liquid from the horn has vivid dreams of roaming through complex mazes during their next deep sleep.

7

A crude map of the local area inscribed on a tattered canvas scroll, that bears an “X” marking an area near where the map was found. There is a list of instructions in the bottom corner of the map: Find the big cracked boulder then go north for 3-4 miles, until you find the hill shaped like a tooth. Then go east for 1-2 miles, until you find the rock shaped like a heart. From there, go south-east for 3-4 miles and you’ll find the treasure buried at the foot of the cliff. —Note: It is up to the DM whether or not if the instructions can be followed (The “landmarks” might be a code, riddle or simply not exist for example) and if there is anything at the end. The map could easily be a prank, trap, confidence scheme, ambush or the area could already have been stripped of any value by other adventurers.

8

A one-gallon cask of used coffin nails.

9

A single iron earring that when worn, allows the bearer to speak the language of Dwarves, but only to say: "I don’t actually speak Dwarven.

10

16

Knowledgeable PC’s will know that wind chimes are often hung outside buildings by the superstitious in order to deter spirits. These instruments can also serve as musical decoration or act as a makeshift alarm.
