No? Well, allow me, your humble shopkeeper, to enlighten you today. These stories tell of how predatory creatures emerged from a gated cave at random intervals. The area defied all attempts at exploration until recently, when one expedition to the Barrier Peaks explored the caves to attempt to stem the tide of strange invaders. During their efforts, they found some unusual items and brought them back. Lucky for you, I have these very items on sale here. Let me tell you about them.  \nThe Legend of The Barrier Peaks  \nThe group of adventurers was successful, after a fashion, though at great cost. Only one survivor named Kzunt made it out of the Barrier Peaks alive to tell the tale of what happened. His stories included details of strange devices that operated under a kind of magic that the wizards of his group could not decipher. Other descriptive tidbits of the location include colored doors accessed only by flat keys of matching colors, metal rooms, guardian golems possessed of unique intelligence, sinister plant creatures unlike any ever encountered before, a creeping brown toxic mold, and enormous frogs. Even stranger, the structure seemed to have arrived there from far away and crashed into the mountains, and Kzunt theorized that it had originally been inhabited by another race that was now absent.  \nEven for the stories of adventurers, Kzunt’s tales of the Barrier Peaks seemed too unusual to be true. Descriptions of metal vessels, tentacled ambush  \nTM & © 2012 Wizards of the Coast LLC. All rights reserved.  \nbunnies, and strange devices have no place in the lands ofthe Duchy. The stories were judged to be the product of whatever horrors Kzunt witnessed within the Barrier Peaks, or possibly the result of the strange disease that he had contracted within the caves, which had caused his skin to become scaly, like that of a dragonborn. Though he was thanked for his service to the Grand Duchy and rewarded appropriately, Kzunt was dismissed from the service of the land.  \nThat is when I encountered Kzunt. It seemed that the adventurer had left out an important detail: He had recovered a number of the devices from within the Barrier Peaks. These unreliable yet powerful devices were all that Kzunt had left.  \nI listened to all ofKzunt’s tales, especially those that involved these devices, with great interest. We worked out an arrangement where I would pay him for these devices and also would fund whatever healing magic he needed to recover from the strange disease that afflicted him. The clerics, unfortunately for him, could not help Kzunt recover. The disease progressed such that he grew extra arms, turned purple, and lost the ability to speak.  \nI hired the best wizards and servants to help finish cataloguing these devices, or “thingamajigs,” as Kzunt liked to refer to them. These items of strange magic work like nothing we have encountered before. My research staff has done its best to discern their functions and operations, and I am happy to train you in their use if you seek to use them in your grand quests. You must first promise always to remember the stories ofthose who journeyed to the Barrier Peaks to recover these devices, and to always operate the devices in the manner in which they were intended.  \nJune 2 01 2 | DRAGON 4 10 1  \nBazaar of the Bizarre  \niTem descriPTions  \nTwelve of the technological marvels that Kzunt sal-  \nvaged from the Barrier Peaks are spotlighted below, along with information a concerned buyer will want to know.  \nPowered Armor  \nDo not be alarmed: This is not a creature of metal that we have captured. In fact, it has more in common with the armor your paladin friend over there is wearing. It provides ample protection in battle, and it grants its wearer the ability to see invisible foes ","cbCaieedLLxQdJmD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieedLLxQdJmD","pdf",358000,"English","# Thingamajigs of the Barrier Peaks\n## The Legend of The Barrier Peaks\n## Powered Armor\n## For the DM: When thingamajigs go BAD","[{\"question\":\"Who is Kzunt and what happened at the Barrier Peaks?\",\"answer\":\"Kzunt is the lone survivor who escaped the Barrier Peaks and brought back devices he recovered there.
