- Container
- Iron-banded chest
- Hidden
- Tucked beneath a collapsed stone shelf, its iron bands darkened to match the rubble.
- Found
- A draft through the rubble stirs dust from a narrow gap, revealing the chest's corner.
- Lock
- A heavy, rust-flecked lock secures the lid; a thin wire disappears from the hasp into the chest's side.
- Trap
- Opening it carelessly may release a concealed spring-driven mechanism. The GM can build the trap's mechanics with the Hazard generator.
The tale
The lock gives way with a dry snap, and the chest lid rises with a groan. A fine wire slips loose inside the hasp, releasing a sharp metallic click; after the danger passes, the party finds coins and practical supplies nestled among a watch ledger, a child's keepsake, and a hurried warning about the east passage.
