Looting the looters (my group stay out!)

How about some musical instruments:
A piano who's keys are made from human teeth.
A horn or trumpet made from a hollowed out spine.
Ribcage zylophone (is that how it's spelled?).
Also, wherever the original occupants distilled thier alcohol, you could have it filled with blood, and a crude system of doleing it out to the ghoulish population, possibly with some still living "bleeders" suspended over a large funnel to collect fresh supplies.
Human (or demihuman) skin would be a commodity. Ghouls being obsessed with eating living flesh might have some diagrams on cutting up the various parts of people. Like a butcher poster.

I was reading this thread, getting ready to give all sorts of ideas...
...and then I realized it was months old. Oh well. Here's the 'out of date booby prize' idea:
Artwork (or books). When viewed under normal light, the painting is muddy and indistinct, or the books are impossible to read. When viewed with darkvision - the way it was created - the painting proves to be a masterpiece of whatever sort you desire: the inks and paints used have qualities that can only be seen with that type of sight.

Nope, and the curiosity is killing them. I think I might change it, having it transport them partially into the Far Realms -- so they go mostly insane, but temporarily gain pseudonatural characteristics. Then they can fight to keep the alienist away from it!
Alternatively, the next identify should say that it's just a magical cheese. And they eat it, and it turns out the identify was wrong, because THEN the magical effects show up....

Don't ruin their anticipation by actually letting the cheese do something, PC! It's a wonderful prank.

I would make it a defense mechanism. If anyone tries to eat it, it gates in another block of moldy cheese, and then fireballs them.

Oooo! I know I said to make it just be the Aura, but how about this? It's a minor artifact whose powers are to use Conjuration and Evocation magic to prevent identification of itself. It can do anything at all that fits under Conjuration and Evocation, but can only use these powers to thwart identification. Identify scrolls burst into flames, a charging rhino distrupts the Legend Lore spell, etc... As a last-ditch effort, it is capable of teleporting itself away.
