[QUOTE="froggie, post: 2935158, member: 2936"] [b]small stuff to Epic[/b] a couple more examples...btw, there are hundreds of these in this book. First, what has it got in its pocketses? Opening the old leather pouch [2 sp] [or pocket] you find numerous silver pieces [23 sp], the severed foot of a small animal [rabbit’s foot, 1 cp], and a tiny silver shaker. The shaker is half full of a white substance that you assume is salt. [It is indeed ordinary salt; shaker 4 gp.] [Total 6.51 gp] 02 You discover a lump of translucent amber wax the size of an apricot [5 cp] and something reddish glistens inside. Prying the wax ball open, you discover a jagged piece of pink rhodochrosite [9 gp] the size of a child's thumbnail. [Total 9.05 gp] and last...what is in that dragon hoard after all? Surrounded by the largest pile of coins you have ever laid eyes on [1,000 pp, 20,000 gp, 300,000 sp, 900,000 cp which would fill a 10’ by 10’ area about 30 inches deep], you see what looks to be the disembodied head of a gargantuan red dragon [15,000 gp], along with two marble statues of dragons, each the height of a rearing horse [25,000 gp each], and a golden throne [834,000 gp]. The vast heap of coinage is a mix of modern coins and ancient pieces of gold and silver from long-dead empires, some bright and shiny and others tarnished with the grime of centuries. The dragon head is just what it appears to be: the entire head of a great wyrm red dragon, expertly preserved and mounted on a huge piece of mahogany. The head itself is larger than a horse, and covered in thousands of gnarled, rough-edged scales; its teeth are the size of short swords, wickedly sharp and yellowed with age. The dragon’s eyes have been replaced with large spheres of smoky glass, hooded by heavy eyelids rimmed in spikes as long as a dwarf’s hand. Upon closer examination, you see the two marble statues are of that very same red dragon – the slitted eyes and distinctive parallel rows of spikes along its ridged head are identical. The first statue is carved from a single massive piece of pale blue marble, shot through with veins of deeper red. It evidently depicts the dragon in its youth, sitting atop a heap of treasure – including the gold throne which is part of this hoard – with the corpse of a heavily armored adventurer clutched in one upraised claw. The statue would be flawless if not for several chips and deep scratches around its base, apparently made by edged weapons. The second statue shows the wyrm several centuries later, probably shortly before its death. The dragon is much larger, and its scaly hide bears the scars of countless battles. It sits astride a monstrous hoard, and you can see the other marble statue and the golden throne among the other treasures. Like the first statue, this one is exquisitely detailed, and it, too, has been chipped by weapons over its years in the dragon’s hoard. After clearing the coins away from the base of the throne, you can finally get a good look at it. The seat and central portion of the back are made of black marble, threaded through with tendrils of pale gray. The metallic arms and legs of the throne are carved in the shape of young gold dragons, each of which has a gleaming sword thrust through its head. Their wings are partly unfurled, sticking out on both sides of the throne. Looming over the back of the throne is a golden carving of the red dragon depicted in the marble statues. It has huge rubies for eyes, and its teeth are tipped with diamonds. [Total 968,000 gp] [/QUOTE]
