Barble's Most Prized Possessions

a twisted harlequin runestaff
This runestaff is twisted and carved from illthorn into the likeness of a harlequin with painted motley garb. The harlequin's head is topped with a tri-colored trickster cap decorated with sparkling rainbow ribbons and shiny brass bells. The jester's form is sinuously elongated and his mocking face appears to wink and smirk as light plays across its garishly painted surface. You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the runestaff.

a huge mustard jJar
Half full, this massive iron-lidded jar is hung from a belt by means of a grimy yellow-brown rope. The sides and bottom of the jar are encrusted with pungent brown smears of mustard. It looks rather sticky. Glued to the front of the jar is a simple label that reads, "Dwarven Brown Mustard, guaranteed fresh. By the looks of it, the delicous mustard is in no immediate danger of expiration.

a pewter-banded dwarven whiskey keg
The keg of aged dwarven whiskey is made of charred dark oak. Soot stains cover the barrel's staves. A large distillery crest is stamped on the side depicting a tankard wielding dwarf beating a massive troll king to the ground. Dwarven markings under the image read: Ancient Troll-Slayer Single Malt Reserve, Product of Kazunel.
