Monster treasure for Cairn! A-C

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 are invaluable.

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

Acolyte (d6): 

1-2. A pearl rosary (small, 100 gp)

3-4. A reliquary with the finger, tooth, or nail of a saint (bulky, 100 gp)

4-6. Relic: Holy Rod (d6, 2 hands needed to strike, can smite an undead or demon once for d12 damage. This damage can't be regenerated. Recharge: foot pilgrimage to a certain temple and pray)

Bandit: 

Individual (d6): 

1-2. A broken coral necklace (small, 100 gp)

3-4. A little statue carved out of bone, depicting the deity patron of thieves and brigands (small, 10 gp) 

5-6. Three smoke bombs (blinds for 1 round)

Lair

A bandits' lair has all of the following, but the location of the stash will be concealed:

• Bejeweled knife, handle carved in the shape of the deity patron of thieves, with ruby eyes (5k gp)
• A vial of “liquid death” (small, powerful poison, d20 STR damage when ingested, 1 use)
• d20 coats of wolf fur (20 gp each)
• d20 doses of “magic powder” (small, powder to inhale, restores WIL but may cause addiction, see below) (10 gp each)
• Something from the acolyte treasure table (that the acolytes want back)
• Stash of smoke bombs (d100)

Addiction (trigger warning: drug abuse, death): Roll a die every time you use the drug, step up the die each time d4->d6->d8, etc up to d12 and see the effect below

1-4. You don't suffer after-effects

5-7. Addicted. you're deprived if you don't use 1nce/day. A PC can get rid of this effect passing  STR save at the end of a whole session spent without using.

8+ Overdose: take the amount rolled as STR damage

WIL restoration works the opposite way. The die starts at d12 but lowers in size with each use, down to a d4

Lair: the skeletal hand of NPC Berry Tingleback, who has worn a hook since the bear ripped it off (worthless)
