Gem of Monster Attraction

A shining, very valuable-looking gem. A character who takes the gem comes under a curse.

• Wandering monsters: Each time the referee checks for wandering monsters, the chance of an encounter is doubled.

• Pursuit: If the referee rolls to determine whether monsters pursue the character, the chance of pursuit is doubled.

• Discarding the gem: The jewel reappears, hidden somewhere on the character’s person, unless the curse is removed by magic (e.g. remove curse).
