1

A hollowed-out hen’s egg that squawks loudly when broken and immediately puts itself back together.

2

A five-sided lantern made of steel. Instead of clear panes, each side of the lantern has a random pattern of stained glass. When lit, it bathes the area in bright multi-colored light cast from the lantern’s colored glass.

3

A small painting portraying dozens of stone towers rising up in the middle of the sea. The night’s sky seems to show more miniature towers upside down in the night’s sky with the lights from their tips glowing like stars. On the back of the painting in a corner is written, “There’s always a lighthouse. There’s always a man. There’s always a city” in elegant feminine script.

4

A long, white banner which seems to be made of a single piece, neither woven, nor dyed, nor painted. A figure like a serpent, scaled in scarlet and gold, runs the entire length. It has scaled legs, feet with five long, golden claws on each, and a great head with a golden mane and eyes like the sun. The banner blows strongly in the slightest breeze and the stirring of the banner make the dragon seem to move as if alive. The banner folds up into a compact square and never becomes stained or dirtied.

5

A thick candle that when lit, fills the air with the smell of hot bacon and eggs

6

A dusty ball of unknown material that is pristinely white. At the merest touch, it swirls with a myriad of colors that shifts to different hues as the creature’s fingers move across it.

7

A smoking pipe carved in the shape of reptilian claw holding an eye, which serves as the pipe’s bowl. The bowl will light itself by telepathic command by a creature that holds it.

14

A hunting trumpet made from hollowed out horn that plays a booming note which only canines can hear.

15

16

A heavily weathered, training longsword. The longsword is a heavily weighted, wooden practice weapon, used as a way to build endurance and expertise. It weighs twice as much as a normal one would (It contains a lead filled core), causing it to be somewhat unwieldy at first.

17

A heavily weathered, training greatsword. The greatsword is a heavily weighted, wooden practice weapon, used as a way to build endurance and expertise. It weighs twice as much as a normal one would (It contains a lead filled core), causing it to be almost unusable at first.

18

A black domino mask that covers the area around the eyes and the space between them. It has small holes on each end, suggesting it could be held on by string or a leather thong. Knowledgeable PC’s will know that traditionally these masks are held on by spirit glue, resin or tree gum rather than strings.

44

A single large pine cone that was somehow fit inside a narrow necked clear glass bottle that’s only slightly bigger than itself. Knowledgeable PC’s will correctly assume that the pine cone was first place in water which caused it to close up its plates, lubricated and wedged into the bottle, rinsed and allowed to dry which caused it to open again.

A three-dimensional puzzle in the form of a drinking vessel commonly known as a fuddling cup. It is made of three cups all linked together by holes and tubes. The challenge of the puzzle is to drink from the vessel in such a way that the beverage does not spill. To do this successfully, the cups must be drunk from in a specific order. This sort of puzzle is commonly found at taverns as drinking in the incorrect order will result in the drink spilling on the user.

72

A broken half of a crystal sphere, which hums and shakes just before rain storms.

73

A transparent glass sphere encloses a miniature scene of a river of tar running through a wasteland. It also contains a mystical blue liquid, which seems like it would mix with the tar if the globe were shaken. Perceptive PC’s will notice ancient, indecipherable writing around the outer base.

74

A glass cube that causes light moving through it to act strangely, forming square patterns of blue and purple colors.

75

A small glass globe clearly depicting an unknown world. The more a creature looks at it, the more details they discover… as if the globe somehow enhances and concentrates their vision as they examine it.

76

A mechanical cube that is about twice the size of a fist, tightly packed with components, wires and clockwork gears, and warm to the touch. Tiny lights and soft, slow vibrations emanate from within. While holding the object, creatures have the distinct sense that the cube is dimly aware of them.

A fully function violin made of the jawbone of a large animal of unknown origin.

81

A portable battering ram consisting of a hollow steel tube with a steel pad at the impact end which absorbs the blow, a handle at the opposite end angled so that the wielder can swing accurately without actually applying his own pressure more than necessary and a handle in the middle of the tube aiding the user in handling. A creature using the ram gains advantage on strength checks made to break down doors and other objects.

86

A type of novelty lamp that was popular among some social circles a few decades ago. It consists of a Roll on "Random Colour Table" wax mixture inside a conical glass vessel, the remainder of which contains a translucent liquid of a complimenting color. The vessel rests on a polished steel frame containing a candle whose heat and light are channeled into the bottom of the glass where the wax rests. The warmed wax rises through the surrounding liquid, cools, loses its buoyancy, and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle that is visually suggestive of lava, hence the commonly associated name of the lamp.

87

A type of novelty lamp that was popular among some social circles a few decades ago. It consists of a wax mixture of a deep red color inside a conical glass vessel, the remainder of which contains a light blue translucent liquid. The vessel rests on a black iron frame with the very base decorated as a beach scene. The frame containing a candle whose heat and light are channeled into the bottom of the glass where the wax rests. The warmed wax rises through the surrounding liquid, cools, loses its buoyancy, and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle. While the lamp is lit the entire structure bears a striking resemblance to an active volcano.

88

A clear glass bottle of Habushu, a type of rice wine which contains a preserved pit viper. The snake’s intestines and many other internal organs have been removed but it’s poison glad mix with the strong alcohol to induce a particularly intense drunken haze. It goes without saying that the drink smells as bad as it sounds, tastes worse than it looks and is just short of being toxic enough to be considered lethal.

An iron splitting wedge meant to split wood with a maul

90

A four foot long iron pry bar

91

A flathead screwdriver

92

A small wooden case containing the rules and materials for a game of pickup sticks

93

A small wooden case containing a dozen steel toothpicks shaped like tiny rapiers

94

A waterproof leather pouch containing several dozen compressed fuel pellets. These small objects are made from compacted sawdust and are typically used by blacksmiths and alchemists to better regulate their furnaces and burners. Since the pellets are of a uniform size, weight, density and material they burn at an easily measurable temperature for a certain amount of time. These pellets could be used in small travel burners or as kindling for campfires.

95

A brightly colored, waterproof leather pouch containing three dozen paper packets filled with various powders. Each packet has a Random Color (Reroll any red and oranges) written on it. When a packet is thrown into a fire the powders ignite and the fire burns with the color written on the paper for ten seconds, after which the flames return to normal.

96

A bouquet of flowering purple thistles in full bloom wrapped together in a cone of fresh bramble vines. The plants have been magically enchanted to remain fresh and healthy, they never wilt or fade. The floral arrangement is covered in spikes and thorns and there is no place safe to touch or hold it without somehow being pricked. It’s probably some sort of artistic statement on the pain of beauty or love.

97

A leather travel case containing a short bow, 15 feet of strong silk line and a half dozen specialized arrows. The butts of the arrows lack any kind of feathering and instead have a set of loops made to attach the silk line. The arrowheads themselves are not standards flat blades but are steel headed points with four barbs that aim back towards the wielder. The arrows resemble small harpoons more than anything else. Knowledgeable PC’s will recognize this as bowfishing gear and creatures proficient in wilderness survival or bows are able to use the weapon to shoot fish and reel them back in.

98

A rune covered monocle that allows the bearer to see into the ultraviolet spectrum.

99

A glass cube that replays in graphic detail the bearer’s worst memory when held for longer than one minute.

100

An ornate brass plaque engraved with a history of a crossbow bolt that is supposedly mounted on it. The plaque says that during the siege of castle Châlus by the invading King Richard (Who is described as a warlord who had devastated the nearby lands with fire and sword) a young cook stood on the edge of the castle walls. The boy, not quite yet a man held a crossbow in one hand and a frying pan in the other. The cook fended off stray arrows with his makeshift shield as he lined as target in his sights. King Richard, who was known to take walks unarmored at the edges of the various sieges he lead locked eyes with the boy and applauded his courage. The cook’s aim was true and his bolt found a new quiver in the king’s neck, ending the siege and a reign of terror. It’s a moving story, however the bolt in question is nowhere to be found, although there is a rectangular depression in the plaque where a glass case or display piece should be placed.
