The Key - Prop (Patreon)

You hear your bard loudly proclaim "ha you are bested old man, and you have no more coin to play with, so I will bid you good night". The old man in a soft voice spoke, "not so hasty there, young one... I offer you something far more valuable. All or nothing for your spoils this day" he placed an unusual looking key on the table.

"A key? What do I want with some rusty old key??"... the old man lifted the key, placing it against the table. It slid in effortlessly. A twist and a section of the table unhinged. Inside, it revealed a golden light... the old man slammed the door shut before the bard could truly see what was inside. The old man looked up with a grin... "worth your time now... little boy?"

*why is it always the bard that gets the party into trouble...
