TEXT: Lost and Found
  By Michael T Lombardi
  While exploring the Pentolan Catacombs you might come across one or more items left
  by the Old Ones, the people who built the spires and catacombs and populated this city
  before whatever cataclysm cast them down and sundered the city.
  When you want to give your players an item you can use this list by rolling a d36 - that
  is, rolling two six-sided die. The leftmost die determines the column, the rightmost die
  the entry in that column. If they are directly in line the die furthest from you is the
  column, the die closest is the entry.
  So, for example, if you roll a 3 and a 5 and the three is either to the left or further from
  you than the five your players would have discovered the fifth entry from the third
  column, the Bakerslight Tablet.
  Note that many of the items included in this list have a mix of positive and negative
  effects or have effects which may not come up often. You could let your players identify
  the items to discover their nature or just keep them around until an effect is triggered.
  As always, feel free to remix, rework, and adapt these items to suit your game!
  
  1
  1. Axe of the Devoted
  This bronze socket-axe is studded with small pearls and
  tiny rubies, forming an image of a heart wreathed in
  white flames. When held aloft the pearls shimmer, the
  rubies glow with firelight, and all light nearby dims and
  flickers. The haft is a dark, smooth, wood shaped like an
  uneven octagon and seems to have dozens of words
  etched into it, none by the same hand.
  If you etch the name of someone you love in this haft you
  find that the axe moves with effortless quickness in their
  defense and cleaves through flesh and bone and bronze
  as if it were merely soft wax. If the person whose name
  you etched into the axe dies, your tears will always be
  bloody and your hand slow, heavy.
  2. Moonscape Cloak
  This dusty, dark blue cloak lies crumpled on the floor.
  When picked up and examined, you see that it is
  embroidered with an alien version of the Pentolan
  skyline, spires visible, with the haunting moon watching
  from behind. The moon and city alike are smeared with
  old blood, discolored with a dusky red. The clasp for this
  cloak is brilliantly white, a perfectly shaped piece of
  porcelain.
  Whilst worn, folks always seem slow to anger, taking less
  offense and being generally more conciliatory.
  3. Quietdark Torc
  This thin, perfectly cylindrical piece of black, glassy
  stone is strangely limp in your hand, behaving like supple
  silk rope. After picking it up you find you have an
  overwhelming urge to place it around your shoulders and
  bring the ends together at the front of your throat. If you
  do so, a large pearl slips out of one end and joins the two
  pieces.
  While wearing this torc you are twice as hale and hearty
  as you would otherwise be. If this torc is every removed,
  you are half as hale and hearty. In either case, you only
  feel truly safe when beneath the watchful moon.
  4. Emblazon
  This trillion-shaped bronze shield has, visible beneath
  the dust and a thick smear of some charred liquid, a
  hammered and etched scene of a burning ship, the crew
  skeletons dancing in macabre joy whilst the flames. At
  the center of this shield is a small cuprite gem in the
  exact same cut as the shield, the angles a perfect match.
  Whilst worn the bearer finds that their shield arm is light
  and nimble, the shield deflecting even spells with relative
  ease. But whenever the bearer's blood is spilled in open
  air it ignites immediately, painfully, and if not attended
  to will catch inside their veins.
  5. Moonwatch Bowl
  This clay bowl is inlaid with a mageglass moon at the
  center. On the bottom is a strange, crescent-shaped rune.
  If filled with clean water it shows your reflection, but a
  year younger. Drink from the bowl to reverse the effects
  of aging from the last year of your life.
  6. Thunderheart Skirt
  This dark gray linen skirt is encircled by bronze charms
  of hearts struck by lightning bolts, a blue-gray mold
  clings to the folds.
  If worn in the presence of a forsaken love the charms
  begin to glow and produce static shocks against you until
  you leave your former lover’s presence.

  1. Lavender of Lasting Life:
  This beautiful sketch of the life cycle of lavender is, on
  closer inspection, sketched with some amalgam of silver
  shavings and crushed amethyst. Whenever a candle or
  other source of fire-light is brought near, the light
  flickers and dances, making it appear as if the depicted
  lavender is swaying in a breeze. On the back of this thin
  paper are several words in a language and alphabet you
  do not know.
  If you write the name of someone on the back of this
  sketch they will not age nor get sick for three years. If you
  write their name twice, they will age as if five years had
  passed.
  2. Swan Companions:
  This ironoak carving of two swans embracing necks is
  beautifully polished, smelling faintly of cinnamon and
  fresh rain. On close and careful inspection, the neck of
  one of the swans is slightly twisted and it's eyes betray a
  sightlessness.
  If you speak ill of a loved one whilst carrying this statue
  you will find that ironoak roots have begun to grow from
  your tongue, binding it down to your jaw and weaving
  through your skull.
  3. Moongiven Tongue:
  This preserved, severed tongue is embroidered w/ thin
  silver wire shaped like the moon on the horizon & is kept
  inside a small wooden box. When opened, it smells
  strongly of cinnamon & nutmeg - so strongly you can
  taste it. The taste is more intense when someone nearby
  is lying.
  Once per day, whilst holding this severed tongue, you can
  command a single beast using up to five words. Every
  time you use this ability sharp pain spreads through your
  mouth as thin silver wire slowly improves an identical
  image of the moon on your own tongue.
  4. Spearspire:
  This eight inch bronze long replica of the Spearspire in
  Pentola erupts from a rocky base and stands nearly three
  feet tall. The intricate sculpting of the spire itself and the
  buildings at its feet are worn smoothly away, replaced
  with a mirror polish.
  If you prick a finger or otherwise cut yourself with the
  top of the spire you are filled with a clear and directable
  rage, empowering you to do great or terrible work for the
  next day, though you will sleep for three after.
  5. Razor of Consumption:
  A thin, flat disc of black magelgass sits beside the tip of
  a neatly severed tongue. The top of the disc is shaped to
  resemble a flickering flame and all firelight nearby
  flickers wildly in its presence.
  Any injury inflicted by the bearer on another person will
  bring them one day closer to death. If the bearer severs a
  finger, hand, ear, or other appendage of their own they
  stave off aging for one year per appendage removed.
  6. Lesson of Lucky Lightning:
  A enameled tablet of porcelain shows a tree struck by
  lightning and leaving a strange runic wound from which
  a river of sap flows, hardening into drops of gold. Text in
  a language you do not understand seems to indicate some
  poem, given the repetition.
  Once per week, if kept above ground, lightning will
  strike a random person, object, or spot within 30',
  causing the destroyed target to reveal treasure which
  may not have been there before.

  1. Stormquill:
  This delicate pale quill tipped in gold is, on inspection,
  made of very fine silver and and is not actually a feather.
  The gold at the tip is inscribed with a tiny, spiky sigil.
  When writing with this quill small arcs of electricity burn
  your message into the material, requiring no ink. Any
  message you write is also scarred painfully into your
  flesh.
  2. Campfire Ladle
  This long handled serving spoon is made of delicate
  porcelain, depicting travels huddling together around a
  campfire sharing a stewpot. On the underside of the
  spoon is a rune whose shape your mind cannot hold, but
  which makes you mouth the word "yum" whenever you
  look at it.
  When used to stir a liquid it heats it to the optimal eating
  temperature, hot enough to warm you but not hot enough
  to burn you. If it is every broken, a burst of magma sprays
  from the image of the stewpot.
  3. Winterdrake Tunic
  This lavender tunic stops just below the knee, no matter
  the height of the wearer. Into it are sewn thousands of
  small porcelain scales, overlapping and threaded through
  with a silver wire. The scales are always cool to the touch
  and are decorated with tiny enameled snowflakes. A few
  scales are missing, seemingly broken in the past.
  This scale armor keeps the wearer comfortably warm no
  matter the weather. The scales break easily when hit, but
  immediately send deeply freezing temperatures into
  whatever broke them, frosting them over immediately.
  4. Sewtight Needle
  This sharp needle is made of solid silver, unnervingly
  sharp. It is marred only by a single, perfect fingerprint of
  blood by the eye.
  Whenever you sew with this needle the stitches are
  eternally perfect, exactly right, and will never come apart
  unless magically destroyed. However, every stitch you
  sew is also sewn into your own body, tightening your
  flesh and shrinking you slowly inside your own skin,
  tighter and tighter.
  5. Ironmind
  This near-perfect representation of a human brain is
  made entirely of iron, polished so smoothly by an
  unknown force that it feels soft, almost pliant, to the
  touch.
  The bearer may touch someone to grant them voluntary
  immunity to mind-altering magics and heightened
  intellect and awareness. This protection lasts for 1d8
  hours, during which time the bearer is unconscious. This
  permanently weakens the bearer's mind and smooths the
  brain further.
  6. Blackwind Tablet
  This small wax tablet is inscribed with a series of dots
  and dashes, a code unknown to any living scholar. The
  edges are decorated in miniscule detail with a laborer
  accomplishing dozens of tasks, trailing lines made of
  slivers of smoothed obsidian that make you think: speed.
  You may prise a sliver (5d6 remain in the tablet) loose and
  insert it into your flesh. For the next 10m your speed is
  doubled, though you are thoroughly exhausted after and
  trail tendrils of black smoke while effected. The sliver
  can never be extracted, burrowing deeper if you try.

  1. Lovers Entwined
  This blue-gray marble statue is of a pair of androgynous
  lovers entwined, gazing deeply into one another's eyes,
  standing on a bronze platform. It's scaled roughly 1:3,
  standing about two feet tall. From the lovers' wrists, hips,
  ankles, and throats dangle tiny, delicate gold chains with
  intricate little iron charms attached, untouched by rust.
  When displayed in a public place it slowly disintegrates
  lust from inside the people around it, robbing them of
  libido and passion. When displayed in a dwelling it does
  the
  reverse,
  heightening
  them
  to
  the
  point
  of
  disregarding normal eating and daily routines until the
  stored energy is dissipated, at which point it's just a
  statue until publicly displayed again.
  2. Nightspire Fortress
  This small, intricately detailed statue of what appears to
  be a seaside fortress set above sheer cliffs is made
  entirely of colored glass. At the heart of the fortress is a
  black tower, rising above the walls and tipped with a
  small golden pin. When light shines at this pin the entire
  statue lights up, save for the black tower which seems to
  grow darker. When in the dark, a soft and wavering hum
  can be heard, emanating from the tower.
  When a light spell is cast into this statue, gravity within
  a hundred feet doubles for everyone except the mage.
  3. Garden Greaves:
  These enameled linen greaves depict a thick and luscious
  garden of fruits and vegetables, the same scene in both
  sunlight and moonlight. The sun and moon are of gold
  and silver filigree respectively.
  When the wearer clicks these greaves together a
  sprawling tangle of vines sprouts, rapidly expanding to
  fill the room and entangle those inside. The wearer can
  pass without any trouble as the vines never seem to be
  under their feet.
  4. Charred Plaque of Vengeance:
  A small, charred olive-wood plaque hangs crookedly on
  the wall, inlaid with slightly rusted iron depictions of fire
  consuming a man and a tower. The man is reaching
  upwards as if to touch the highest parapet. Whenever
  picked up with uncovered skin, a slight shock runs
  through your body.
  If this plaque is burned entirely it will shrink everything
  within 120 feet to 1/100th its normal size. Anything too
  small to be seen at this scale is instead turned to ash.
  5. Bakerslight Tablet
  This clay tablet includes images of ovens and ordered
  lists in a tongue no one knows. Wrapped in tattered silk
  patterned with faded flowers, the tablet
  is heavy and
  warm to the touch.
  When there is no other light the room around this tablet
  is navigable as if in dim light. In a brightly lit room it
  exudes enough heat to keep the area comfortably warm.
  6. Stonefire Drake Figurine
  This figurine of a drake is carved from ironoak, polished
  smooth and soft - the flesh of its belly squishes slightly.
  After keeping on your person for a day, it seems to come
  slightly alive, blinking and apparently breathing. You can
  command it to attack, in which case it scrambles towards
  an enemy, causing stone they stand on or carry to melt.

  1. Tephratic Shield
  This wicker shield is deeply black, its face is visibly the
  darkest thing in even lightless rooms. Marring that field
  of dark is a perfect representation of the watchful moon,
  embossed in tarnished silver. Grabbing it by the handle
  always results in a sharp, surprising jolt.
  If a magical item comes in contact with this shield it is
  rapidly drained of energy towards uselessness and then
  disintegration.Other magics which encounter this shield
  appear to be hungrily devoured by it, the shield eating
  into whatever source that magic came from.
  2. Recitation of Diminishing
  The script on this lambskin scroll flows and undulates
  before your eyes, the ink made of iron shavings
  seemingly alive, sparking with tiny twinkles. Every time
  you touch it a jolt runs through you and you hear alien
  words whisper in your ear.
  Every time you recite the words the scroll whispers to
  you, two things happen: everyone within earshot except
  for you withers, losing 2d6 pounds of muscle, and a word
  from the scroll burns away in an arc of tiny lightning. 3d6
  words remain.
  3. Field of Moonless Flowers
  This many-colored marble bas-relief of a field of
  blossoming flowers is remarkable primarily for the
  depicted moonless night sky, made entirely from black,
  thousand-faceted mageglass, and for the faint smell of
  cinnamon wafting from the pink flowers.
  If mounted to a wall which sees sunlight, all plants
  within a hundred feet grow as if in perfect lighting
  conditions, even if they're kept entirely hidden. If,
  however, any of those plants fall under moonlight they
  wither and die.
  4. Selfish Chrysanthemum
  This beautiful porcelain centrepiece resembles a riotous
  Chrysanthemum flower, the enamel unfaded and the
  petals thin and curling upwards, the color of the sky as
  the sun breaks over the waters. When near open flames
  the light dims as if afraid to burn beside the centrepiece.
  When gazing at this centrepiece for too long you feel
  compelled to lean in and smell it; if you do so, you find
  that afterwards the whole world is dark, colorless,
  motionless, and for the next 1d4 minutes you have eyes
  only for this beautiful flower.
  5. Stormguardian Tower
  This small model of a guard tower is made from rough
  granite. Atop the tower is a minuscule, working replica of
  a ballista made from tiny boards of ironoak, denser and
  harder than metal, with a sliver of gold in the shape of a
  lightning bolt loaded, ready to fire.
  When the bearer of this guard tower sees someone in
  imminent danger and wants to protect them the bearer
  and target switch places, the bearer arriving in an
  explosive blast of lightning.
  6. Halfmoon's Judgement
  This headscarf is expertly woven to resemble the colors
  of a sky during sunsets. However, something stark and
  jarring waits upon it, a half-moon, the shadowed half
  made of delicately sewn-on mageglass. The edge of the
  scarf is lined with a thousand tiny half-moon iron
  charms.
  If an iron charm is removed from this headscarve and
  ends up in the body of anyone but the wearer it will begin
  to calcify their flesh, slowly turning them into a granite
  replica of themself in 1d4 days.

  1. Bracelet of Rising Fortune
  This delicate silver bracelet is connected by thin chains
  to silver rings which only and always fit over the index
  and ring finger of someone who closes the clasp of the
  bracelet around their own wrist. The bracelet both rings
  are lined with incredibly tiny scrolling opaline images
  depicting a pair of laughing figures more and more finely
  dressed and happy in each image. Where the chains meet
  on the back of the hand is a trillion-cut tourmaline set
  into silver, anchored to a chain at each point.
  If someone kisses the tourmaline when the wearer's hand
  is presented, the kisser finds that for one day and a night
  they are sweeter of tongue and sharper of mind when it
  comes to business, but only so long as they retain good
  nature towards the bearer. If they ever become upset with
  the bearer, the effect is negated.
  2. Hostright Tablet
  This small, black, translucent stone tablet is carved and
  inlaid with untarnishing silver, depicting a hearth and a
  feast with dozens of smiling participants. On closer
  inspection, everyone but the figure at the center is crying.
  their smile strained. Whenever light shines upon this
  tablet, it seems to be drunk into the hearth at the bottom,
  dimming the source of light slightly.
  If this tablet is displayed in a room where three or more
  folk gather, the person who called the gathering finds
  that their words are twice as persuasive as before and
  their desires are often met. If the host fails to provide
  food and water for their guests, they instead find their
  own tongue useless or worse, unable to articulate their
  desires effectively.
  3. Merchant Lord's Helm
  This open-faced helm is made wholly of gold, intricate
  opaline inlays depicting a wealthy noble and his guards
  brandishing their weapons. It has a crest of pale pink
  feathers, thick and soft.
  When worn into battle the wearer finds that they move
  more slowly, their awareness dimmed by thoughts of
  mercantile business ideas. Whenever their adrenaline
  spikes their lips turn a pale blue as they freeze up.
  4. Autumnal Shade
  This bronze-and-glass statue of a young child playing
  beneath an apple tree feels wrong, somehow. On closer
  inspection, the leaves are made of mageglass, razor
  sharp, and the boys face is strangely haggard, wizened.
  If you insert one of the tiny razor leafs into another
  person, for so long as that leaf is in their body they will
  age a year for each hour that passes.
  5. Icemoon Anklet
  This twining silver bangle has a single half-moon charm
  made from blackened iron and hums quietly in the dark.
  When worn at night no cold reaches you, though you feel
  like you are being watched by something deep and old.
  6. Archer’s Repose
  This delicate blown-glass panel depicts a porcelain
  archer, eerily beautiful, drawing an arrow. When light
  catches the archer’s eyes, it seems to flicker.
  If you stare into the Archer’s eyes for more than a few
  moments you find yourself falling deeply in love with
  them, your feelings for others waning over the next week.
  7. Heart’s Desire Locket
  This small bronze necklace has an anatomically accurate
  platinum heart which, when opened, contains a strange
  rune inlaid with gold.
  While worn you can hear the thoughts of those around
  you, so long as they are about someone they love.
