Make a name for himself haha as the tabaxi with that nasty shit.

Magic Item: - Jeff Stevens
Cursed Trinket
The Key to Something
Wondrous item, uncommon
Curse: Whoever touches this key will be cursed. You will believe that this key opens a lock and you will be obsessed with finding the lock that it operates. Anytime you are near a keyhole you will attempt to use the key to see if it operates the lock. You will keep this key in your possession until you find the lock that it operates.
In addition, the key is always in your possession and you will not want to give it away, sell it, or leave it. The curse remains in effect until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic.
Dungeon Master Tip:
Patron: Leigh Pierce DM Tip: Use music/sound effects to set the mood.
Roll20’s jukebox
Player Tip: Player Tip: Do reconnaissance!
Instead of just charging into an enemy base, take time to scout for patrol patterns, obvious defenses.
Tail and ambush the messengers to learn what important information is being passed on
Disguise yourselves and learn what to expect in advance before entering the enemy's stronghold
