What They Left Inside of You
Some are new organs intentionally installed, some foreign objects forgotten or left . . . as a message? It seems to be a(n) :
- key
- egg
- clump of dirty rags
- Tactile map - you can read the bumps through your skin
- 100gp brooch
- tangle of hair
- Downy Pinkus - 1d4 inches long, you are able to cast spells as a wizard of that level
- Dwarvish Carbuncle - you can detect slopes and altitude flawlessly
- Sleestak Somatophore - you can detect minute gradients of heat now
- Single rune inscribed on a clay chip
- 1 stone lead weight
- Extra Heart - gives you an extra HD when you should be dead
- Extra Lung - You can hold your breath twice as long, not affected by fumes as much
- Extra Stomach - you can subsist on plants now
- Gizzard - you can subsist on gravel and rocks
- Extra Liver - immune to poisons and potions
- Extra Spleen - you can spit acid once a day
- small rodent that is moving under your skin
- bulb that grows into a rare drug plant
- tiny, iron, locked box
- brass sphere that plays a sweet melody when rolled
- tumor that will grow into an Unborn in a week
- vial of rare poison with a person's name on it
- tightly scrolled piece of tin with never-seen scriptures scratched in it
- voodoo doll (someone else)
- magic ring

- pocket of grey liquid that sloshes as you move around
- your own organ thief, sneaks out at night and brings you back, then installs, one of 12-17
heheh, nice hooks. I may have to steal some : )
ReplyDeletewell those are suitably creepy... plenty of those are good story hooks too.
ReplyDeleteheh I like it. I got a gizzard. I've always wanted one.
ReplyDeleteWTF?
ReplyDeleteDemented and awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much.
ReplyDelete@Tim: I actually thought of you as I wrote #9 :)
@JB: Ha, yeah the post on organ thieves just seemed to naturally lead here. I guess my fairy-tale-1001-nights-inspired campaign also has a good dose of body horror.
