Reward For Rare Components
Pinned to The notice board
A clean parchment with neat writing and a small mortar and pestle illustration reads:
Bountiful Reward For Rare Components
Travellers and Adventurers; if in your wanderings you should find any of the items below, please bring them to Kaela Akan of the Crystal Jar for more gold than you’ll get anywhere else!
1 vial of spectral ectoplasm - 250 Gold
1 pound of stone from one or more creatures petrified by a Medusa (NOT a basilisk) - 1000 Gold
8 pounds of Singing Crystals - 750 Gold per pound
3 vials of Hell Hound blood - 200 Gold Each
1 hog’s head of ash from a tree burned by a Fire Elemental - 550 Gold
Jarred breath from a brass, gold, or red half-dragon - 2000 Gold (see us for enchanted jar)
Control Crystals from a Shield Guardian and its paired amulet - 1000 Gold
Payment is offered on a first come first served basis. Items in sub-par condition may be refused.
Ways to approach
Sometimes your party just needs a nice, straightforward way to get gold as they progress through the game. If given this notice at early levels, they’ll be able to slowly face some of these foes as they go, and collect some extra rewards for their memory or note-taking. If you’d like to join me in being slightly more dastardly, I used this poster as a shopping list for one of my main villains, who was attempting to get the pieces themselves but any acquired by the party would accelerate their plans. The players may even hear of such things being stolen or acquired in their travels, and as they would check back on the list and see more items crossed off it would, unbeknownst to them, provide a countdown to the BBEG’s plan completion (which in this case was the creation of an automaton).
