Jan 20, 2009 22:32:12 Hey. Tired of handing out gold and gems. Lets make a list of unexpectedly good finds in the treasure chest each between 100gp and 1000gp. It can be magical but nothing with stats just good to sell or store as part of your horde.
-------------------------------------------------------------
#1 Long Windy Cloak.
The long windy cloak seems to always be caught in a light breeze no matter where the player is. The cloak is a bit long but never seems to get in the way.
It don't do much else but gosh it looks snazzy. Cost 100g

Jan 20, 2009 23:16:40 LOL, nice Sig Vforged.

As for the Treasure, this will be fun.

2) Mimic! Oh No, they tried to open the box that says "Do Not Open" and now they pay the price. After the battle, it seems that there have been a couple of people who have lost some valuables not to long ago. Finding a Decerative Dagger worth 50 gold... along with a couple bones....

3) Mimics! Oh No, even worse. The Adventurers have found many mimics in he chest instead of the chest being one mimic. At least when you beat them, they had small little status in them. (donno how many, Small Sized, price of item depends on the quantaty.)

4) Picture Day Well, it isn;t in the best shape, but it is a very rare peice of material. It seems that you have found a Picture of a king that seemed to not know that day was Picture day, for obvious reasons. It seems to have been locked away. This serious blackmail to the royal family can be sold for 150 gold.

Jan 21, 2009 13:32:08 5) Fork of Horripilation: this two pronged fork is built with bone, and whenever you try to eat meat with it, the meat explodes violently over a 2 square spread. NOTE: only works on dead flesh

Jan 22, 2009 23:30:48 6: Extra Dementional Mirror
Ever wonder what it be like to talk to yourself? Well now you can, talk hours and hours to, how else, you reflection. Wait, you already do that? Not like this, it is a portal to a diffrent demention while maintaning balance. 1000gp.

(if you ever seen spungbob were Patrick and Spongbob help sandy inpress them primapes so she can stay in BB, you know what I mean if you've seen the mirror scene.)

The little colourful box has a crank that spins and makes a little catchy diddy. When the song ends a little astral gnome pops out and yells BOO! Before throwing Garl's Itching Glittergold at the gullible fools.
His name is Jack. He never gets tired of the prank.

Jan 23, 2009 7:15:31 9) A hole into a pocket dimension that sucks in the person who opens it and then makes the chest close again.

Of course, within that pocket dimension is also a monster of pretty nice and high CR compared to the most likely party member to open said chest.

The treasure? A good lesson: "Don't open chests until you know for sure it is not trapped."

Valdark
Jan 23, 2009 8:05:07 10) Rupies.... not to be confused with Rubies. These gems immediately float up and make a strange musical sound. The characters find they can only be used to purchase elven boomerangs.
#10

Jan 23, 2009 20:07:00 11) just about any sort of alcoholic beverage.
12) textiles
13) A rather fancy bed stand, gold trim and excellent carving.(I've pulled it out on my player)
14) A golden chamber pot, for the insanely decadent.
15) food, especially pie.
16) on that note, a large jar of honey may hold great value.
17) a false leg
18) makeup kit
19) some fancy, possibly jeweled party masks, for a masquerade.
20) some traps, unset. A hunter willl spend a few gold for a good bear trap.
21) paint, also very expensive depending on your level of anachronism.
22) some books or scrolls
#11
DragonsWrath
Jan 24, 2009 8:28:34 23) A glass vial that appears to be empty. (I'd make it full of Hydrogen :D)
24) A baby doll. Perhaps its enchanted to cry if they don't care for it properly.
25) A thermometer with a remote sensor
26) A scale model warforged, who is very lonely and depressed.
#12
oxybe
Jan 24, 2009 10:04:38 27) a small clockwork dwarf that leaps and yells "KA-BOOM!"
28) a monkey in a tophat. he has cake for you.
29) orcus as a teen. he grumbles that he never has any privacy and no one understands him. he then slams the lid shut as it poofs away, leaving you an imitation Wand of Orcus that says "bang, your dead!" when it touches someone.
30) the very concept of the letters A, D & the number 5. destroying them will forever harm the fabric of our reality.

frznfury
Jan 24, 2009 12:58:31 31) A Lim-Lim
32) A smaller treasure chest
33) A trap door
34) False trapdoor (It's really a portable hole)
35) False trapdoor (Sphere of Annihilation)
36) False trapdoor (Portal to Sigil)
37) The adventuring party's gear (Instantaneously magicked off their bodies when the chest was opened, cleaned, pressed and folded neatly inside.)
38) A dazzling array of strange, colorful objects, some of which grow warm and vibrate on command. The true purpose of these artifacts remains unknown.
39) Cthulu!
40) A mind flayer skull, with a neat round hole punched into the back
41) A chill air drifts up from the open chest and you discover within, canned beverages and wrapped sandwiches.
42) Paper, in 8 1/2 x 11 in sheets. The chest never empties.
43) False trapdoor (The chest is full of ink)

Jan 24, 2009 20:19:16 44. A small gold dragon fly with ruby wings. When someone touches it the construct begins to fly circles around the person's head making an annoying "squee" like sound. It is very difficult to catch or knock it out of the air.
#15
oxybe
Jan 24, 2009 23:27:41 45) a small glowing fairy. it seems that someone locked it in there. in gratitude to the person who opens the chest, it will often yell a loud "HEY LISTEN! [points out obvious]"
#16
1958Fury
Jan 25, 2009 10:03:38 46) Gloves of Kitten Summoning - 1 use per day, 1 hour duration. Can only summon kittens. Not so great in battle, but great if you need some comfort. Those of certain alignments might also use the kitten for detecting traps or distracting monsters, but we know you'd never do that.
#17

Jan 29, 2009 14:50:29 47) Brass Skull Buttons- a set of 12 brass buttons each depicting a skull with a unique expression on it's face- an excelent "nifty character item" for the party's resident creepy guy.
#18

Jan 29, 2009 17:26:22 48) A penguin
49) A block of ice half fills the chest, the block will never meld.
50) A large number of vials, their labels identify them as the souls of people. Important people, who made deals with that guy you just killed.
51) A trained mimic.
52) A trained rust monster. its hungry, but once you feed it it will follow the commands written down in the handy booklet also inside the chest.

( I Have actually used this one)

57 Inside the chest is a note that says "There is no gold."

58) "To whomever finds this,
I am afraid I have already looted this, and every other treasure chest within this dungeon. Even so, I have preferred methods that allow me to bypass all the traps and guardians completely. But, I must thank you for removing these dangers to the public."

That is even worse.

Jan 31, 2009 8:37:55 59)No tea.

62)A rainbow stick figure butterfly, much like the fairy mentioned above in the obvious-pointing-out-itude (but without the "HEY! LISTEN!").
