Strange Things you've encountered?

[Bront]

What are some of the stranger things you've encountered in a game? Any truely odd treasure, strange creatures, or odd NPCs you remember? Hopefully in otherwise normal games.

For example:
I had a character who found a +1 Ghost Touch Bastard Sword of Throwing and Returning After the initial laugh, I actualy kept it just in case. Never did use it, but it was different.

Before I joined the group, the party found a solid silver chamber pot in the home of a long-dead dragon. They lugged it around for a while in a Bag of Holding, then finally unloaded the monstrosity as a wedding gift to their patron, a count, and his new bride (by this time I'd joined the group).

It was magical, too. Kept itself clean. The bride loved it. And it was one of the funnier role-playing moments I've witnessed.

A Dm once had me uncover a treasure trove that contained a bag of pixie bones, a broken wand and a singing rock named Hortence (it did nothing else it was just a rock that sang). That rock I kept ever since and use as an NPC when I DM

I also played in a game where whilst exploring a sewer we discovered a silver sledgehammer. Later we came across a room inhabited by pygmie myconids which were invunerable unless you jumped on the top of their heads - twice. The first time stunned them and the second time they went squish.
The final encounter was with a half-dragon turtle whose shell was impervious to any harm except for the silver hammer

Dave Hargrave's Kill Kittens. They operate in packs; All hiding in the bushes, while one feigns injury in the road, luring a sympathetic good samaritan to its side. Then the rest attack like piranha with claws.

In my campaign this year at school, my DM introduced a belt we eventually came to call "The Belt of Cool". It had a completely random and unpredictable set of effects on each person who wore it. (He claimed he had a chart and made us roll some d%'s, but I think he just made the results up.) One person grew wings and projected a wild magic field, my character had reversed gravity (he fell up, as did anything he carried. being a bit of a builder he invented some pretty crazy ways to use himself as the lift in a lighter-than-air craft) Someone else emitted an aura of Fear, and controlled the weather with their emotions. Since they freaked out as everyone ran away from them, they sent a raging tempest through the city.

Oh. And our ninja pissed off a god, lost his body, and he is now the intelligence of the Belt of Cool.

LOL.
"The wearer of this belt shall have all the powers of the 70's supergroup Foreigner."

My character's unexpected child.

Mother and father were dwarven, the child was human with snow-white hair, skin and eyes. About 5 days had elapsed since conception.

One of our adventuring groups ended up with a pet mimic. It was quite entertainging (It had learned to speak, and had some non-detection wards scribed on it).

Another group got into an arguement with a skeleton/ghost/revnant/whatever about the rules of a prophosy (He actualy pulled out the prophosy rulebook), and won.
Him: "The next King of Swords is supposed to find me. Why do you think I've been waiting here for thousands of years?"
Us: "Is there anything that says you can't go with us to find him?"
Him: "Because that's now how it works. I have this book right here that explains all about it" Points to book.
Us: "Have you read it?"
Him: "Well, um..." Flips though book, "Dang it, wish I knew that earlier"

I was in a group one time that constantly searced all cracks and crevices for treasure, particularly under beds, chairs, wardrobes, etc.

In the course of our adventures, we ran across countless "Demonic Dust Bunnies" in this way.

I once completely freaked out my players in a Shadowrun game, when they found a blindfolded yellow duckling surounded by used syringes in an otherwise empty building.
That'll teach 'em to go on home invasions in the Barrens.
