Damp Caves Treasure Tables
-
Hey folks, people were mentioning to me last night that the Damp Caves loot is all themed toward fey, which makes no sense considering the actual quest's nature.
So suggest new ideas, the theme on the quest is "necromantic/transmutation experiments", "Far Realms", "Madness", "Star Pacts". If you're unfamiliar with some of these, just think HP Lovecraft's short stories involving anyone seeking to understand death or gain immortality.

This glistening object seems surreal, and possesses a weird, nightmarish quality, as if the fragmented imagination of a horrified quality was distilled into the mist-like essence of perfect horror.
Evil Only
Single use Fear.The Belt of the Chanting Child
This grotesque belt is made from the flesh of an innocent child, the first half of a boy, the second half of a girl. All the more terrible is that the two souls seemed to be imbued into the very flesh of the device, and a never ending game of tag is taking place between them in their imaginary realm. You can bring their lust for speed and escape out into your own person, but at the cost of their very souls.

Good only.
