The ring was pretty obviously 'bad' but yeah the others had no indication, unless you made the Myths and Legends checks beforehand

The ring for sure. The two items we grabbed didn't grant those checks until they were in hand and close enough to be inspected and recognized.

Ok, perhaps it's the hour, but I'm not sure how to do that. For example, our table never made it to the lowest level. We never encountered a cursed item either. I'm curious what items people found including he cursed ones and the details around the few unique items such as the bow and the book. We only visited 6 of the shrines and never made it through all of Saluwe, Beltine or Illir. I am curious as to what people think about a statue with a pile of dust on top of it that was found behind another statue. I'm curious what people made of the gar casters and the spells they were casting and about the various flaws that people picked up. What are some of the interesting tidbits from murals or iconography that made you go, "well that's interesting"?

Is this the right place? Can I be more specific with the questions or is there a better place to ask them?

With a sweep of his hat,

The most interesting thing my table found was the heresy room. The craziest items in this room. Book made flesh that still bled, cloak made of human skin that absorbed light, blue conk shell, ivory lady covered in thorns. It was nuts.

We also found a library with an undead librarian.

Couple things. did anyone besides me get the lyre? and i'm not to sure i would have picked it up and had i known it was clearly broken.

I know Christina's table had it in their room, but she did a knowledge check prior to anyoe picking it up. She warned them, "uh...better leave that alone". Someone at the table did pick up Tyrfang, though.

In the Forbbiden Vault I told the Sarishian player at the table I was judging that there was a ring with a purple stone in it and a honking powerful (legendary) rune of sorcery on it. The player immediately mimed putting it on his finger. Done. And gratifying as a judge. It was only afterwards he worried why he couldn't take it off. Heartseeker has a pair of flaws that go with it. Blood thirsty, ... and it has to be dipped in the blood of someone you've just killed to activate it each day.

I feel bad for the elorii character who got stuck with Tyrfang though. She only had it in a box and was essentially carrying it out for the party/ES. She never wanted it or tried to wield it.

I'm putting my full IC write up of the event over in the cross road tavern under a pair of Tukufu's Letters.

Carrying the sword in a box and not actualy wirlding it should not trigger the curse.

My character would have picked up the shield, but he uses a small, not a large, else he'd be carrying that nightmare around. Also lucky for him, another character at the table thought it was very shiny so picked it up. Then he started acting very rash, impatient, and odd - compared to his antics up to that point.

Our Sarishan SP -really- wanted to put on the ring but just could not come to do so after recognizing what it likely was.

Our table was in a hurry when we found our cursed items. In character and out. So role-playing wise, I can understand skipping out on letting out table roll knowledge checks, but we had never been asked for a check on any items before we picked them up.
