1d6 Random Weird Mundane Remains & Treasures From Magical Ceremonies Table For Your Old School Campaigns

 

Magical ceremonies & summoning  rituals sometimes require expensive relics & components to complete their magical operations. Wizards & other practitioners of the dark arts often times must leave behind objects of a curious & sometimes dangerous nature. These are items that could require adventurers to do a bit of research into the nature of a silver bauble or golden knickknack. These researches might require a scribe of at least five hundred gold pieces or better for magick can be both mysterious and sometimes obscure.


There is a 30 % chance of these objects having the attention of their god or a minor demonic entity belonging to the god thing involved in the magical ceremony. Many times these objects might be sacred to a cult or other magical organization for whom the object may have strong religious connotations. There is a 10% chance of the organization wanting the PC's dead for having violated the sacred auras of these objects.

1. Ten tiny silver vessels each filled with a small flawless ruby the whole lot is worth 6000 gold pieces but the vessels have sacred writing that is actually a circle of protection spell if the magus figures out the whole pattern.

The thing contains the life essence of a ghoul queen whose soul will flee into the underworld. The thing is the equal of a Monster Manual 1st edition specter.
