LOST & FOUND CHEST


Here sits the unlocked LOST + FOUND” chest, full of various items abandoned by previous patrons of the Dread Dragon Inn. So far, the items lost outnumber the lives lost this night. One can only hope it stays that way.





 You examine the helmet and notice the deep scratches and dents on its surface, telling a story of battles long past. The helmet is made of a sturdy metal, likely steel, and has a visor that can be lifted up to reveal the wearer’s face. It seems like a reliable piece of armor, even if it has been discarded and forgotten in the lost and found chest.




Your eyes are drawn to a glimmering necklace tucked away in the corner. It has a delicate chain made of silver and a pendant adorned with a bright blue gemstone.It seems to have a faint magical aura, although you have no idea what sort of magic it could be.




The cloak is made of thick wool and dyed a deep shade of forest green. It looks large enough to wrap around yourself entirely, covering you from the shoulders down to your feet – as if made for someone much larger than you, perhaps a half-giant or a similarly sized creature. The edges of the cloak are frayed and worn from use, and there are several patches sewn onto it in different places.




Your eyes catch a glimpse of a worn and battered waterskin lying amongst the other lost items. Despite its rugged appearance, the waterskin still looks functional, and you can tell it has seen plenty of use. As you pick it up, you notice that the waterskin’s surface is slightly sticky to the touch, likely from the remnants of whatever liquid is still sloshing around inside. You manage to unscrew the cap and give the contents a cautious sniff.
Bleh!
Rotten onions!




You spot a rolled-up map lying amidst the clutter of the chest. As you unroll it, the crinkling sound of the parchment echoes in the room. The map is well-worn, with faded ink and creases from being folded over and over. Displayed are various landmarks and routes in the surrounding region. The map is full of notes and scribbles, likely made by the original owner, indicating various points of interest or warnings.




Wedged into one of the corners of the box is a circular metal object. It’s scuffed and scraped, but something about it catches your eye. You draw it out, and little about the little hinged case looks noteworthy. There’s even a clump of dirt still stuck to the underside. You pry the case open to find it’s a compass! The inside of the lid is decorated with tiny drawings of various monsters and creatures. You’ve heard of these! It’s a quarry compass. They’re used to track a chosen target across long distances. You reluctantly return the compass to the chest, hoping to inquire about it later on.
