[QUOTE="Len, post: 1213200, member: 14349"] That reminded me of your [url=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=779&page=21&pp=25#post922221]de-ghoulification episode[/url] when the ghouls regained their human souls. Which gave me an idea for something that, unfortunately, can't really be considered treasure. Here it is anyway. What if a ghoul retains some memory of its former life? Only subconciously perhaps, a nagging feeling that can't be pinned down, and which is triggered by familiar objects from its past. The ghoul might keep a few such objects - or, in a dimly-understood attempt to communicate something to its fellows, it might leave something for others to see. So: In an out-of-the-way corner of a public square there is a strange collection of objects. Hanging from a wall and arranged on the ground nearby are such things as: jewellery (nothing valuable of course) shoes and other items of clothing children's toys portraits of living people books (mostly children's stories) musical instruments and sundry things that are more commonly found among the living than the undead. There are also a few humanoid skulls hanging from the wall and more arranged in a ring around the collection. This [i]memento vivi[/i] has [url=http://www.igs.net/~lpopp/things.jpg]built up over time[/url] as various ghouls have contributed things that they have found. It seems to hold some meaning for the ghouls, and it has been gradually accumulating for a very long time, yet none of the ghouls can explain why it's there, or even recognize it as a sort of shrine to the living.
