Master Pett’s Your Whispering Homunculus presents only the finest in British gaming. Indeed, you are not likely to find a more comprehensive assortment of miscellany anywhere.

(So much more than just another bloke in a dress.)

“Everyone has their price, they say.”

“Mightyness?”

“Pay attention slimelet, or the teaching stick may make another appearance before breakfast.”

“Your punishments are just and wise Master.”

“Now, everyone has his price, they say, but what would your price be, blemish?”

“Ah, that’s easy your vastness. Gold.”

“As I thought, gold, and what would you do with gold?”

“Use it to buy objects to aid you, mighty one.”

“And what would these objects be, exactly?”

“The strange, the outré, the macabre. Objects from beyond our shores and whispers and secrets from ancient cabals.”

“So, gargoyle, everything too has its value…”

A magnificent golden goblet set with rubies worth 2,000 gp; a sceptre of platinum wreathed in opals and set with silver worth 5,600 gp; a fabulous earring set with rubies and jade dancing in a circlet of sunshine made of gold worth 3,200 gp. While it’s easy to place a price on standard objects, there are those treasures that may be beyond price or that find a price difficult to gauge.

Some items may be virtually worthless in their own right, but to the right collector, they have significant value or have a greatly increased value because of their very nature. These objects do not require any hard selling, but locating a buyer may not always be easy. Items listed hereafter are, on the face of it, quite low in value. However, to a collector of the strange, their value may be high. Such objects often require an Appraise check (DC 20) to identify them as beyond merely curious; however, they also require a Diplomacy check (gather information) to locate the right buyer. In a city, the DC check to locate someone interested in buying such items is 15, for smaller settlements the check increases to 20 or even higher as you judge appropriate.

The first price is the common value of the item, the second is its value to the right collector. As ever, spice up the odd treasure hoard with an object or two from this list, make them the subject of an NPC side-quest during an adventure, or have an object sold cheaply by the PCs become the subject of future gossip.
