Treasure of the Crypt of the Monkey King?

[SmiloDan]

Hi!

Players of my Podwick over Xenique: Brass Gears & Bronze Spears Campaign--DO NOT ENTER:

So, my PCs are finally getting ready to leave the big steampunk city of Podwick, fly the Black Betty (their dirigible) down the giant beanstalk, and begin exploring the jungles of Xenique.

They're following a treasure map to the Crypt of the Monkey King.

But what kind of treasure should they find? They will be level 4 or 5. I have an idea for a monkey paw, but what else should they find?

The party is:

a human sky pirate rogue swashbuckler with a pistol and mysterious dragon tattoo
a tiefling scavenger warlock with a clockwork patron
a halfing urchin Tempest cleric of the Daughter who runs an orphanage
a wood elf outlander monk of the 4 elements and 2 flying tomahawks
a human cultist cleric of the Clock Queen 1/shadow sorcerer X
an eladrin elf sage brontomancer (thunder and lightning and weather) wizard

They found the treasure map at 1st level, so there should be kind of a big payoff.

Also, I'm looking for some non-combat encounters for a monkey-themed dungeon. Specifically, something to do with See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I would have a puzzle where there is a monkey in a place they can't reach, and they have to coerce the monkey to solve the puzzle. Eventually it'll become apparent that he is copying their movements, which would be a clue.

Aping their movements? ;-)

Maybe they get locked in a cell, and he can unlock them?

Hehe, monkey see, monkey do.

I'm sure there are a lot more that could work that way. Maybe let someone really use the hell out of their handle animal skill.

Animal Handling!

I'm pretty sure exactly 0% of my players are proficient in it.
