17: Hidden Cache

An Old Hoard (+2) lies here. In addition, two empty suits of heavy welkin knight armor rest here, untouched and coated in dust. Between them, a huge curved sword of bronze polished to a mirror finish. The Magic sword grants +1 Attack. Trickery Check: Once every session, in the presence of a light source, the wielder may attempt to Blind a target:

• 1–2: A random ally is Blinded for 1d6 rounds instead.
• 3–5: No effect.
• 6–8: The target is Blinded for a round.
• 9–11: The target is Blinded for 1d6 rounds.
• 12+: The target is Blinded for 1d6 rounds and accidentally attacks their nearest ally. The southern passage terminates in a lever that controls a hidden door to Room 26. This door automatically closes after five minutes, and cannot be opened from Room 26.
