D20 Table: Pick a Peasant's Pocket
You slip through the crowded marketplace, past stalls heaped with vegetables and neatly folded squares of homespun cloth. A pot-mender calls to the crowd, promising cups and kettles "good as new and clean as a whistle to boot." The air hums with the scent of spice and chatter. You sidle up behind an unsuspecting villager, your fingers twitching for mischief...
Roll a d20 to discover what your unlucky (or lucky) thief just pulled from the pocket of a random villager.
1. A torn wanted poster featuring the thief's face.
2. A bloody tooth wrapped in cloth.
3. The pocket is empty... but noticeably sticky...
4. Two live bait worms, still with a bit of wriggle to them.
5. A rough draft of a love letter to the miller's daughter.
6. A small stick that ends in a fork.
7. A loose fistful of seed grain.
8. A smooth river stone painted like an eye.
9. A small tuft of lamb's wool. Sooooo soooooft...
10. A single copper coin.
11. A stiff length of jerky.
12. Two sugar cubes.
13. A heel of bread wrapped in a handkerchief.
14. A perfectly usable candle stub.
15. A paid merchant's receipt for "one dozen eggs," for pick up tomorrow morning.
16. A jagged piece of flint and a steel striker.
17. A leather pouch of pipeweed.
18. A tiny sewing kit: two dull needles and a loop of mismatched thread.
19. A sturdy trowel with a smooth wooden handle.
20. A tiny gold piece, riddled with tooth marks.
