Monster treasure for Cairn! N-P

There’s a 1in6 chance for each individual in an encountered group to carry a piece of treasure.

Unless indicated otherwise, each piece of treasure occupies one slot. Relics and other powerful items are invaluable.

Roll before the encounter happens, cause some of the treasure may be useful to the NPCs. 



Neanderthal
(d10)

1-2. Bracelet of eagle talons (50 gp)

3-4. Cape made with feathers of some turkey-like bird considered extinct (2k gp)

5-6. Relic: Dreamcatcher. 50% chance every night that it catches a wandering spell. You can tell when it caught one but you won’t know which one until you cast it (roll d100 on the spellbook table the moment it’s cast). It can only hold one spell at a time.

7-8. Wooden bowl containing pigment for cave painting (3gp)

9-10. Large piece of amber (small, 500 gp)


Nixie (d4)

  1. Large crystal goblet, crafted through magic to create incredible shapes (300 gp)
  2. Small green waterproof jerkin (5 gp) 
  3. 200 gp
  4. Small turquoise (small, 1 gp)


Noble

Count Exubery (cuirass armor 2, 11 hp, 7 STR, 13 DEX, 13 CHA, crystal rapier d10) is a master of using the rapier. Every time he’s impressed by an adventure or love story involving the narrator, he will offer to teach one of his techniques. Obviously, a rapier is necessary: a rapier takes 1 slot, deals d8 damage, and costs 20 gp

Exubery uses a legendary Crystal Rapier (d10 damage, but it breaks if you take STR damage from an attack, or if you roll a 1 for your attack)

Rapier techniques (take Fatigue each time you use one)

  • Feint: roll your attack a second time and consider the highest die.
  • Deflect: negate the damage from a single die if you roll higher with your rapier's die (if multiple dice are rolled and you negated the highest, consider the 2nd highest for damage)
  • Flurry: damage is BLAST


Nomad

Camp:

  • Couch (needs 2 people to transport, 200 gp) and four cushions (25 gp each) all covered by a rich fabric
    • Inside each cushion, there are 100 gp
  • Carved wooden cabinet (6 slots, 100 gp), Contains…
    • Illustrated book, a collection of fables in the nomads’ language. The illustrations animate magically when it’s read aloud.
    • Small wooden lacquered box with golden details (50 gp)
      • Inside, three leaves of Soporiphic Tea: A cup containing one leaf of this tea will make you feel extremely relaxed. Two leaves will cause a deep sleep for a few hours. Three leaves will induce a catatonic state, indistinguishable from death, for 24h


Ogre

Individual:

Large sack with 400 gp


Scattered through the lair:

  • 1.5k gp
  • Some broken stone idol of a waistcloth-wearing, bipedal creature with claws. The head is missing (bulky, 50 gp)
  • Huge club (bulky, d8 damage, stun an opponent for a round on a roll of 7+) 
  • A large bronze brooch depicting a rose, looks ancient (1k gp)
  • A bit of Gelid Mint grows here, surrounded by cold air and snow regardless of the season. If you eat it, for a few hours you gain the ability to freeze a nearby target with your breath. A creature takes d6 DEX damage from the attack and is frozen at 0 DEX. Restores d6 DEX when exposed to strong heat.


Orc
