d100 Result

1

A statuette of a disreputable dog carved from a soft grey-blue soapstone that is pleasant to touch. It looks like a fairly hard-bitten sort of dog, with pointy ears and a sharp snout. But it also has a friendly grin, and the suggestion of a tongue in the corner of its mouth down at the way it sits, with its tail curled around its back legs, head up and forelegs straight, as if waiting for its mistress.

2

A small cage haunted by a spectral mouse.

3

A Roll on "Humanoid" skull, with red silk thread connecting the eye and nose cavities. The bone is clean, resilient and projects an aura of Roll on "Good Domains". Knowledgeable PC’s recognize this holy relic as the skull of St. Batho, a crusader who was quartered by infidels but never gave up his faith.

4

A piece of orange amber with a hatching phase spider trapped inside.

5

A full-face mask carved of deep red jade, depicting a demonic creature, its features twisted in menace. It seems to possess some flicker of sentience or life and is filled with a sense of rage. When the wielder becomes angry the face on the mask begins to twist itself into ever more angry looks as if straining to climb out and destroy the offender.

6

A miniature bouquet, measuring about eight inches in length containing lily, daffodil, and carnation. The flowers appear to be real, to scale, and in a magical stasis, maintaining their health without water or light years later.

7

A leather medicine bag with herbs, needles, thread bone saw, scalpel, mortar and pestle.

8

A rolled-up leather hide covered with sketches of what appears to be detailed floorplans of a crypt.

9

A thick black drakeleather tunic set with silver skeletons leaping and dancing through golden flames across the tunic’s front. While worn, nearby flames dance with excitement.

10

A stout willow staff with a stylized human fist at one end. It radiates magic and one could swear they occasionally hear and see a crackle of electricity run along the shaft of the staff and the hand at the end stretches its fingers out before making a fist again.

11

A battered lump of jet with the name “Yalandlara” inscribed on it.

12

A metallic cylinder with a very stout exterior casing. It’s quietly emanating a voice that repeats a message over and over. The recording is approximately one minute in length and is in an old alien language that is no longer common on the continent.

13

A one-gallon cask of Meat Stout, a hearty beer made with fermented meats. A veritable meal in a glass. Oily fat slick on the surface and tastes thick and rich like an alcoholic gravy. It is notoriously hard to distill and has a fair following amongst those with pretensions of sophisticated taste.

14

A small rectangular polished metal box with several, buttons, levers and cogs sticking out. The various extrusions can be switched to multiple positions, none of which seem to do anything. There is a note attached to it stating that the writer is utterly bewildered by it and hope the recipient can make some sense of its use.

15

A wand of black jet flecked in glowing jade.

16

A metallic kazoo that sounds like a flute when played.

17

A silver horn that when winded, sounds a clear note that brings hope to Dwarfs and foreboding doom to their enemies.

18

A small jade idol of a griffon that shimmers with an eerie green light.

19

A once finely-wrought gemstone bound into a silver filigree cone. It is now a dirt-encrusted, chipped remnant of its former glory.

20

An enthralling ivory mask from which wafts a strong, captivating scent.

21

A long, diaphanous, red veil that shimmers with crushed amber shards that dance like sultry flames whenever its bearer breathes or moves.

22

A wool shawl, embroidered with scenes of pastures.

23

An elven poncho covered in long strands that resemble weeping willow, wisteria and ivy vines.

24

A large stone fist carved with primordial runes in ancient Netherese.

25

A primitive mask carved from the wood of a tropical tree.

26

A parchment scroll with skull emblem on its back. It contains detailed information on how to create several forbidden potions and substances that have dangerous or illegal effects. Simply owning this parchment is a serious crime if one is caught with it.

27

A celestial lantern that emits a soft, ethereal glow, powered by the captured essence of a celestial being, and requires periodic recharging to maintain its luminescence.

28

An official looking deed to a piece of land in a realm unknown to you.

29

A delicate candle of incense that floats like a feather when dropped.

30

An expensive looking dark glass bottle stoppered with a cork and sealed with wax. The carefully written parchment label says the following “Firewine. This ruby rich delight is packed with mouth-watering sumptuousness with hints of bramble, blackberry, boysenberry, Don Cherry and Frankenberry flourishes. This Pinot Noir is a treat to eat with beef testicles or lamb spleen escabeche. Also an ideal companion for manic-depression. Shows promise to last longer than your belief in an afterlife.”

31

A tattered piece of a legendary war banner.

32

A mosaic tile with a multi-colored glazed surface.

33

A hinged metal wallet of finely worked steel. It contains a full set of certified identification papers denoting that the bearer is a member of the tinkers, pewterers, and casters guild. The section containing the member’s physical description (Height, weight, sex, race, eye, skin and hair colour) is completely blank and could be filled in by anyone with half decent handwriting.

34

A top-quality brass-and-glass oil lamp.

35

A white porcelain mask with a single, curving eye slit. It is covered in ancient runes and symbols, their cautionary meaning lost to time.

36

An ugly, oddly-shaped gem that nonetheless thrums with residual magical energy.

37

A huge candle made of white wax that has been molded and carved into a macabre shape. The candle is covered with skulls of different sizes, some as small as a fingernail and some as large as a fist. The skulls have hollow eyes and grinning teeth, and some are cracked or missing parts. Between the skulls, there are bones that form intricate patterns and symbols. The candle has a faint smell of decay and smoke.

38

An ash-shafted pin featuring a spearhead carved from jade in a shape suggestive of a quill feather; whatever it is pinned through slowly grows a pale pink-gray mold.

39

A long prosthetic beard made of fine silver hair that glitters in the light. It has a soft and silky texture and smells faintly of lavender.

40

An occult magical implement made from the skull of a pyromage who died in a fiery explosion of their own making. The skull is charred black and has two small rubies for eyes. It can be used as a focus for casting arcane spells.

41

A scroll on which is displayed a beautifully abstract rendering of a burning snowflake features a sliver of pale blue diamond set into the center of the thick parchment, forming the snowflake itself.

42

A simple earthenware cup, in the shape of a perfectly shaped cylinder, marred only by the Pentolan obsession with imagery, in this case depicting a bonedrake with molten stone (Stylized with tiny rubies) dripping from its bony plates. Anyone who drinks from this cup feels intensely warm, sweating despite even the coolest night breeze.

43

A bronze statuette of a pillaring flame set into an octagonal plinth of marble, lavendar shot through with pale green veins.

44

A short daffodil-yellow linen dress featuring an espaliered persimmon tree, its fruits embroidered with golden threads.

45

A richly black handkerchief featuring a field of ironoak stars sewn around a silver-threaded rune shaped like the moon.

46

A scorched linen shawl embroidered with colorful silk faces, placid and near-featureless. While worn, the anger of everyone nearby is reflected in the faces of the shawl, taking their likeness and changing their expression to display their frustration or fury.

47

An anklet made of a bronze arrowhead marked with a bespiked rune and threaded with thin twisted iron wire.

48

A yellow silk bracelet holding a plain circle of bronze; on the reverse, a furry violet mold grows, rubbing off easily. The face is dull, reflecting nothing except in moonlight, when everything is reflected like a perfect mirror.

49

A scale cap made of drakebones painted with small purple flowers and featuring small bronze protrusions like saffron stamens, polished so smooth they’re nearly soft to the touch.

50

A large olive-handled brush with bristles made of impossibly thin strands of carved jade, surprisingly supple and leaving an indelible green ink on any flesh they touch.

51

A child’s patchwork cardigan that looks to be made out of used baby clothes. It has obviously been worn and there is a tear in the right sleeve at the wrist. Almost as if someone had hidden something in it and needed to retrieve it…..

52

Marine’s Struggle: A framed charcoal drawing of a fierce ship-boarding battle, that has more feeling than detail, showing swirling smoke and mortal struggle. The few pieces of armor depicted are made of iron shavings, not coal, and flicker violently in firelight. Staring too long at this illustration fills the viewer’s ears with the din of a hard-fought battle.

53

A small granite statuette depicting an androgynous slinger whirling a massive sling bullet with grim determination on their face. Their eyes are inlaid with silver which turns the color of any light reflecting off of it a pale red.

54

A short pale red linen robe which has silver wire sewn through its edges displaying handsome men embracing. At the sleeves, tiny iron charms in the shape of faces, eyes closed, lips puckered.

55

A thin copper anklet studded with half a dozen carbuncle eyes, crudely (Though not hideously) set.

56

A small box carved of marble in the shape of a box of playing cards. When opened, all nearby light dims until the lid is closed again. Inside, a deck of 40 plain linen cards, a handful of them marked with pips eerily reminiscent of fingernails.

57

A pale gray whetstone set into an oblong disk of gold and has a silk tassel attached to a protrusion on one end. The tassel seems to dance like a falling ember whenever it is not gripped tight. Using this whetstone to sharpen an implement of any sort fills the user with a keen and overwhelming desire to use that implement; the sooner the better, and with little regard for consequences.

58

A mortar and pestle made from bluish granite, though cracks in the mortar have been filled with iron polished smooth.

59

A child’s doll holding a bloody axe and her dress has dried blood on it.

60

A leather map upon which has been marked a star map of the known sky of the local area. At least, that is what it kind of looks like. The only problem is that there are some planets and quite a few stars missing and the names of a significant amount of both have been changed. The date on the map is wrong too, it’s several years in the future…

61

A letter of acceptance to a wizard college.

62

A small glass bottle filled with a dark, black ink.

63

A folded ticket for passage on a ship to faraway lands and an ad about a new life in said faraway land.

64

A love poem ripped out of a book with a handwritten “Found this for you” in a heart.

65

A pencil and a sketchbook containing dozens of portraits with names and small personal details. Written on the inside cover are the words “The Family You Choose.”

66

A large silver coin. One side appears corroded and pockmarked, and the other bears the image of a woman rising from the sea. Close inspection will reveal that the ‘pockmarks’ are actually a deliberate pattern; a map of the moon’s surface. The woman is an obscure and nearly-forgotten lunar and tidal deity, and the coin is an amulet that has a calming effect on werewolves.

67

A deck of cards, but the Jack of Clubs has wildly different artwork than the rest of the deck.

68

A small sun dial whose shadow does not match up with the sky above, because the dial is tracking the sun in a different location. It is a clue as to that location’s position.

69

A children’s drawing of a monster. The lines are quite rough and squiggly and close analysis reveals that the shape of the outline matches the shape of a nearby island, and the monster’s features form a map to a secret pl

70

A leaflet titled, “General Orders for City Guards”: A short leaflet with hand drawn pictures that describes the duties and expectations of City Guards. It describes things such as proper watch turnover, even provides tips and tricks for making rounds efficiently.

71

A large handled musical instrument similar in shape to a maraca, crafted from the giant rattling tail pieces of a fallen Yaun-ti warrior.

72

A mahogany mask carved in the horrendous approximation of draconic visage, red liquid ever flowing from its gaping wooden maw. Few have met the gaze of the vengeful nature guardians depicted in its form and lived to tell the tale of their encounter with a wyvern. Borne from the anguish of those who feel the pain of nature as sharply as their own, their scarlet tears leaking through eyes that have seen much devastation. Crimson sap seeps out from the wrinkled sneer as though choking upon the injustices inflicted upon the forest and its denizens. And when those sins are expelled, those caught within shall finally grasp the extent of their crimes as they burn upon their backs forever more.

73

A tankard of silver and polished tusk, which perpetually smells of mead.

74

A jar containing an eye and a couple inches of optic nerve floating in a greenish fluid. Glued to the jar is a note reading “Vazquez?” Somehow the eye always seems to be turned to face you.

75

A small statue, it was maybe once a bust, weathered and beaten beyond recognition. When looked at under candle light, something reminiscent of a face can be seen.

76

A pewter toy of a lance wielding soldier on horseback.

77

A spool of thin twine that sparkles in the sunlight.

78

A silk veil that looks like a burlap hood to all but the wearer.

79

A deep blue marble that looks like an eye.

80

A quill made with a roc’s feather that is ridiculously large and nearly impossible to write with.

81

A fourth of a treasure map, showing only where to start. Knowledgeable PC’s will recognize a few landmarks for a nearby area.

82

A silk handkerchief with a single tear staining one corner.

83

A glass eye made from obsidian with a polished gold iris that shines like the sun.

84

A jar of pickled fruit that cannot be opened without magic.

85

A series of glass lenses in a tube that projects an illusory red dot that cats love.

86

A long reed that produces a low whistling noise when blown.

87

An inkwell of pitch-black paint that slowly replenishes itself.

88

A high-quality bowstring made into an anklet.

89

A paintbrush made of rare wood and luxurious bristles.

90

A brassy clockwork beetle that scuttles around when wound up.

91

A jar containing a dozen hollow reeds that can be used as delicate drinking straws.

92

A heavy bracelet is made of dark brown stone. The crafting is superb but several large gashes mar its otherwise smooth surface. It seems slightly too large to fit a human wrist but mysteriously adjusts in size when worn.

93

The Needed Cane: A small, sturdy wooden cane lies innocent. If a humanoid creature picks it up, it acts as a normal cane. However, if at any point they lean on it or use it to support them, its curse activates. For the next 1d10 days the user cannot do anything but the crawl if they are not supported by the crane.

94

A small painting shows a beautiful cottage on a lake in front of a mountain lake.

95

A caricatured figurine of a horse-head made of polished basalt, about one foot high.

96

Zephyr Clip: A simple hair clip that shimmers in a metallic blue tone. The creature that is wearing the clip has their hair flowing as if in a light breeze.

97

A crate of rotgut liquor.

98

A leather wallet stamped with a glowing arcane rune. It contains a full set of certified identification papers denoting that the bearer is a member of the mages guild. The section containing the member’s physical description (Height, weight, sex, race, eye, skin and hair color) is completely blank and could be filled in by anyone with half decent handwriting.

99

A black glass bottle filled with a substance known as Brimstone Brew and sealed with a bone lacquered bone stopper. This odd liquid is a constantly swirling mass of orange and red, and has a faint glow to it. The potent liquor carries a slight odor of sulfur, and is warm on the tongue. After downing the brew, the drinker begins to hear unintelligible whispering that plagues him for hours. Fiendish Warlocks and other beings in the service of infernal masters establish a weak telepathic link with their demonic patron and can ask simple questions and may receive short simple answers or be given direct orders if the devil is in such a mood.

A white apron that’s been absolutely covered with a pattern of embroidered roses. Knowledgeable PCs will recognize the pattern as a nod to a local folk tale where a young maiden’s fiancee dies and she makes a deal with a devil in order to bring him back to life. The devil demands that she return in a week with her apron filled with roses or she must forfeit her soul. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem as wild roses bloomed everywhere but this occurred in the dead of winter. Instead the maiden worked day and night and covered every square inch of the apron in roses and return to the devil at the end of the week. The endings vary by who’s telling it, most try for a happy ending where the fiancée is resurrected and they live happily together as the maiden cultivates a rose garden into her old age. Other darker stories end with the devil becoming angry that it was tricked and playing a trick in return bringing the fiancée back to life as a zombie who kills and eats the maiden, simply killing her out of spite or pointing out that apron is only covered in roses and not filled with them and consuming her soul.
