Curious Things: Horrid Treasures
The door to the treasure chamber gave way with a final blow from the warrior's heavy axe. Peering inside the trio of adventurers saw nothing more than a simple wooden box sitting on a plain stone pedestal. Curiously enough¸ the box was unlocked and opened easily. Lying inside the box was nothing more than mummified human hand. Its withered flesh was covered in strange tattoos. "What is this?!?" roared the warrior in anger as the group's mage studied the hand with a concerning frown. Suddenly the rogue reaches forward and snatches up the mummified hand. The tattoos begin to faintly glow and the wrinkled cold fingers start to twitch. "This is mine!" the rogue exclaims with a most disturbing look in his eyes. In a high fantasy realm there are rare treasures that often defy the norm. Typically unique to semi-unique in nature¸ these items of curiosity tend to be part of a much richer history¸ making them much more valuable amongst educated collectors. Some of these treasures may even possess strange magical properties or other faint supernatural elements. This product introduces six different treasures to your high fantasy role playing campaign. These items are all either unique or minimal in number. These curiosities all share a dark¸ grim theme and all have two sets of monetary value. The first and more expensive value is for interested collectors who know the history behind the item. The second value is a common marketplace worth that is based on the appraisal of the item without the knowledge of such past.
