You Want Thingamabobs?

[You Want Thingamabobs?] Room: 4410412
Glowing strands of kelp cast flickering light over carved coral shelves cluttered with an odd assortment of trinkets and treasures. Wax-sealed clay amphorae, mismatched buttons, chipped porcelain dolls' heads, and other peculiar castoffs spill from barnacle-crusted crates. A tangle of fishnet drapes one wall, heavy with keys, gears, and other curios. Overhead, an odd sculpture fashioned of rusting forks sways gently, presiding over the remnants of forgotten wonders. You also see a kelp-curtained passage.
Obvious paths: out

In the crate you see: a polished jadewood cane, a sleek rowan staff capped with a bubble-caged sea star, a cane-printed note, a driftwood and ivory galleon pendant, a carved coral mantis shrimp, a ship's wheel-shaped compass rimmed in copper spokes, an aged whalebone comb with four broken teeth, a pale teal glass nail file, a clump of sea glass shards fused by salt and sun, and a moon white conch shell streaked with violet.

You Want Thingamabobs?, Nook

[You Want Thingamabobs?, Nook] Room: 4410415
A low dome of woven seaweed and driftwood forms a cozy nook just beyond the passage. Softly luminescent sea stars freckle the walls, their light catching on tangled strands of wire and glimmering bits of sea glass dangling from the ceiling like strange chandeliers. A worktable cobbled together from a ship's hatch groans beneath piles of broken gadgets and clouded jars. A barrel labeled "PARTS?" lies on its side, scattering a chaotic farrago of sprockets, pearls, and ribbon.
