d100	Result
1	A tidy stack of forty tin plates, licked perfectly clean.
2	Chalk tally marks on the wall: 4,749 strokes, the last one half-finished.
3	A rusted cage, door open, with a cushion and a tiny knitted blanket inside.
4	Scorch marks on the ceiling in the shape of a perfect circle.
5	A boot, standing upright, laces tied, in the exact center of the room.
6	Dozens of keys nailed to the wall; none fit any lock in this dungeon.
7	A mural of a feast where every painted face has been carefully scratched out.
8	A cold draft that smells of pine forest, far underground.
9	An abandoned campsite: bedrolls for five, packs for four.
10	Water drips from the ceiling into a bucket that should have overflowed years ago.
11	A chalk hopscotch grid, its squares numbered in Infernal.
12	The skeleton of a large fish, wall-mounted, with a small plaque: 'ALMOST'.
13	A door frame with no door, and hinges polished bright from frequent use.
14	Someone has swept this room recently. The broom leans in the corner, still warm.
15	A pile of clothing folded with military precision, decades out of fashion.
16	Deep claw gouges in the stone floor, all leading away from the far wall.
17	An hourglass on a shelf, mid-flow. No one has been here in years.
18	A wall niche holding a shrine to a god of doorways, its candle freshly lit.
19	Hundreds of dead moths arranged in a spiral on the floor.
20	A message in soot above the arch: 'IT COUNTS YOUR FOOTSTEPS'.
21	A rocking chair, gently moving, facing the entrance you came through.
22	Barrels of pickled vegetables, still good, stamped with a royal quartermaster's seal.
23	A game of cards abandoned mid-hand; the winning hand is face down.
24	The far wall is warm to the touch and hums faintly, like a sleeping animal.
25	A rope ladder leads up into darkness; its top is anchored to nothing visible.
26	Six pairs of shoes by the door, arranged smallest to largest. The largest are enormous.
27	A stone face in the wall, its mouth worn smooth by centuries of whispered secrets.
28	An overturned inkwell; the stain has soaked into the floor in the shape of a running man.
29	A cauldron of wax with hundreds of wicks: a candle that is also a trap of sentiment.
30	Fresh flowers in a vase. Nobody can say what is keeping them fresh, or who brings them.
31	A wall covered in children's height markings, the highest one seven feet up.
32	The remains of a beautiful door, lovingly demolished with an axe from the inside.
33	Rat nests built entirely from shredded love letters.
34	A silver dinner bell on a velvet pillow under a glass dome, with a sign: 'ONLY IF DYING'.
35	Perfectly preserved footprints in old mortar: two people dancing.
36	A well shaft in the floor; the splash of a dropped stone comes far too late.
37	An empty picture frame hung on the wall, the stone behind it worn from being looked at.
38	A workbench of half-finished wooden toys, each with one detail lovingly perfected.
39	The word 'BEHIND' scratched hastily into the floor, pointing at nothing.
40	An enormous fireplace with a spit sized for an ox, ashes still faintly warm.

42	A stone bench worn into a smooth groove by a lifetime of the same person sitting.
43	Mushrooms growing in the perfect outline of where a body once lay.
44	A locked chest with its lid pried off beside it; inside the chest is a smaller locked chest.
45	Piles of coins fused into a single lump by ancient dragonfire, worth less than the story.
46	A curtain of chains hangs across the room's center, each link etched with a name.
47	Someone has repaired the ancient masonry here recently, and expertly.
48	A dressmaker's dummy wearing chainmail tailored for a serpentine body.
49	An altar cracked cleanly in two, both halves scrubbed clean and dusted.
50	A trail of dried mud footprints that begins abruptly in the room's center.
51	Wine racks stretching into the dark; every bottle is empty and re-corked.
52	A stuffed and mounted owlbear, moth-eaten, posed mid-pounce over the doorway.
53	The ceiling is painted as a night sky with constellations no astronomer would know.
54	A privy with a bookshelf beside it, the books well-thumbed and surprisingly scholarly.
55	A grinding wheel and a bin of swords, every one sharpened and every hilt removed.
56	Deep grooves in the floor where something circular and heavy was rolled, daily, for years.

58	An empty pedestal with a note in fresh ink: 'Borrowed. Sorry. Back soon. - V.'
59	Someone's collection of interesting rocks, labeled with names like 'Gerald' and 'The Duchess'.
60	A tapestry showing this exact room, including the tapestry, including you looking at it.
61	A latrine bucket polished to a mirror shine. Someone here had standards, or a curse.
62	Ancient graffiti: 'THE COOK DID IT', crossed out, then rewritten with three underlines.
63	A pool of still water; its reflection shows the ceiling of a different room.
64	Practice dummies made of straw, each stabbed exactly once, perfectly through the heart.
65	A dumbwaiter shaft; its ropes have been cut and retied dozens of times.
66	A candle burned down into a mound of wax the size of a barrel, one wick still lit.
67	A neat pyramid of forty-one skulls; a small card names each and thanks it for its service.
68	The floor here was once a mosaic map of the region; boot traffic has erased everything but the mountains.
69	An iron maiden, door open. It has been converted, very carefully, into a wardrobe.
70	A chess table mid-game; black is winning, and both chairs face away from the board.
71	Meat hooks on ceiling chains, each hung with a wreath of dried herbs instead.
72	A stone door with three hundred keyholes; only one shows scratches around it.
73	Buckets of whitewash and a half-painted wall, covering a mural of an open eye.
74	A spider web spanning the corridor, spun to mimic the pattern of a stained-glass window.
75	Bones sorted by type into labeled crates: femurs, ribs, 'miscellaneous'.
76	A gong the size of a wagon wheel, wrapped tightly in seven layers of blankets and rope.
77	An open ledger on a lectern, recording tolls paid, the last entry made this morning.
78	Roots have broken through the ceiling and grown around an old lantern, holding it aloft.
79	A row of seven cell doors; six are rusted shut, one is oiled and swings freely.
80	A shrine of stacked river stones, and beside it, someone's carefully mended left boot as an offering.
81	The temperature drops sharply at a precise line across the room, straight as a ruler.
82	A dozen mousetraps, all sprung, all empty, arranged facing the same wall.
83	A wardrobe standing alone; inside hang thirty identical grey robes and one red one.
84	Scratch marks tally the days on a cell wall, grouped in sevens, ending in a drawing of a boat.
85	An anvil with a sword blade sunk deep into it, hammered in backwards out of what looks like spite.
86	A basin of clean, hot water. Steam rises. There is soap.
87	A library of stone shelves; every book is fused shut with age except one, which is bookmarked.
88	An enormous pawprint set in the ancient mortar of the floor, deliberately preserved with a border tile.
89	Wind chimes made of old spoons hang from the ceiling in a room with no wind. They are ringing.
90	The whole room lists slightly, like the deck of a ship, though the walls are true.
91	A mummified cat sits atop a pillar with a plaque: 'STILL WATCHING'.
92	Chalk outlines of tools on the wall, so each could be re-hung in its place. Every tool is missing.
93	A copper bathtub full of sand, and in the sand, the impression of someone sleeping.
94	A doorway bricked up from this side; a copper pipe protrudes at ear height, mouthpiece polished bright.
95	Moths circle a lantern that is not lit and has no fuel.
96	A market stall, fully assembled, deep underground, stocked with jars of preserved starlight. Probably paint.
97	Names carved into the wall by the door, in dozens of hands, under the words 'WE GOT THIS FAR'.
98	The room is empty. Perfectly, deliberately, suspiciously empty. Even the dust has been removed.
99	A staircase descends exactly three steps, ends at smooth solid stone, and shows centuries of wear.
100	Roll twice more on this table; this room has both.
