This is in response to Jeff's post here.
It's a d30 table, because I know Jeff likes his d30.

Dropping the purse is a great one, and a good way to test NPC loyality.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I had meant for it to be someone else in the dungeon that dropped the purse or magic item. (I wanted to have some things on the table that were good for the players, instead of just 'let's screw the bastards!'.)
But yeah, that would be a good loyalty test!
Hmmm, it get's lonely out there in the dark... or is it just me that "dropping the purse" sounds just like "dropping the soap"? ;P
My thief from last weekend would have had a 1 in 10 chance of being slain by your non-combat fumbles. I know life is cheap in OSR games, but that might be a little too cheap. Perhaps a temporary penalty of some sort would serve better than being killed by a stubbed toe.
You could totally do a penalty instead of damage. Movement rate reduced by 1/4, for instance.
I was envisioning the table for use once players had gotten their feet on the ground, to spice things up. Not specifically to kill off first level characters through no fault of their own. (They already die easily enough, don't they?)
The ship is fitted with catapults and harpoon ballistae.
