Common Dungeon Detritus



Dungeon Detritus is crap you find in empty rooms and boring corridors. Common stuff is mostly not valuable but beginner murder hobos might find a few scraps. This will be followed by exotic types that will be weirder and dangerous. This could also be things you find in a fishing hole, trench or garbage heap. The exotic list also serves as red herrings. Players will try to rationalise them and think must be logical explanation. Poor poor players.
