Artists might find a home in your adventure somewhere, and they no doubt carry artist’s tools with them, so they can paint or sculpt or glue googly eyes to things. Wait, what even IS in artist tools?
According to the ToV Player’s Guide, it’s “brushes, spades, stirrers, inks, paints, a square and triangle, a canvas stretcher and an easel, and rolls of vellum, parchment, and canvas.”
But can’t it be more than that? Yes, it can. Liven up an artist’s tool kit with interesting and perhaps inexplicable things. Roll a d12 on the I Know What I Like table and then wonder anew whether you should have gone to business school like your father wanted.

| 10 | The pastels in this bag erase whatever they’re used upon in favor of whatever the user draws. |
| 11 | A gnarled pipe smells strongly of cinnamon and fish, disturbing your digestion. Its bowl has constellations etched around it. |
| 12 | A clockwork kitten mewls at you from within the satchel. |
