In a friends campaign, we are currently stuck in a dwarven keep that apparently has a device known as the Dragon Forge. The keep won't open back up, or at least the entrance we came through, until the Dragon Forge is activated. To activate it, several keys in the shape of weapons must be found throughout the dwarven keep.
Considering that we have been stuck in there for several days, and have been essentially living off rations from the Drow that now inhabit the keep, there's no shops to sell those useless items you end up finding.
Now, this said, this thread I made with the hope of gaining some unorthodox insight on what to do with certain items I have picked up along the way.
Item #1. Potion of Virtue - Casts virtue, like most potions end up doing, casting the spell its named after. However, I find difficulty in how to use something that grants 1 temporary hit point to the best of its advantage.
Item #2. A splinter that happens to be shaped somewhat like Jesus - Somewhat of a joke from the GM for being a person who constantly rolls to find things, I ended up rolling fairly high on several rooms in a row with nothing to find, and so to somewhat taunt me, or to give me some, if not little satisfaction, I end up finding this, even though there is no Jesus in the pathfinder fantasy realm, at least not in the same context that real life holds that person up to.
Item #3. Book of Forging Mythril - I can see this being sold for a nice price outside of the dungeon for some extra moneys. After all, creating mythril is a strong trade for Dwarves, so a book on how to do such a thing may well be worth while in the right hands. At the same time though, I am wondering if I can perhaps use this book to my own advantage in some way. Of course, I could use it for bargaining material perhaps, but wondering if there are any other potential uses.
If anyone else has any oddball items wondering about what to do with, by all means, share them! Exchange ideas, and perhaps some more creativity will bounce around! :)

Potion of Virtue
I have been in several spots where one hit point was the difference between standing to get away and falling to the ground. Of course, with enough healing it might not matter.
Splinter
Sell it to a gnome, they will take just about anything.
Book of Forging Mythril
Depending on your GM, you could check if he would let you study the book and get a bonus to your appraise with regards to mythril items or a plus to crafting mythril items. Maybe a bonus to attacks against mythril armour. Of course, this is up to the GM and what type of character you have. All that said, if it is in dwarven and that's not one of your languages you might try to see if the GM will let you learn to read dwarven by studying it.
