    d100Entry
    1Just a chicken. A regular old chicken, in a cage.
    2A goblin with wings crudely sewn on. It cannot speak and only squaks like a bird.
    3A bunch of mechanical wands that create sparks (he was trying to replicate magic but never got it right).
    4A Rube-Goldberg device that cooks breakfast.
    5A dusty box covered in strange magical runes. Inside the box is dozens of human souls.
    6Several half made constructs that look surprisingly like the party.
    7A potion that either heals for 50 HP or automatically brings you down to 1. There is a 50% chance of either.
    8A kobold with the head of a pig and a pig with the head of a kobold.
    9A mind flayer being dissected on a table.
    10A cryogenically frozen man who can be rescued by the party.
    11A gun that spews fire or mildly warm air.
    12A gun that spews ice or mildly chilled air.
    13A glass vat of pixies dissolving in acid. The vat is in the center of a chalk drawn magic circle. If the circle is broken the vat explodes spraying acid across the floor.
    14Jars of pickled monster parts. The parts are still alive and move/twitch every so often.
    15A music box that only plays when closed.
    16A sprouted plant that grows a different flower every morning.
    17Thirty-seven toy soldiers that always turn away from someone looking at them, but otherwise don't move.
    18The upper body of a warforge, who is currently conscious.
    19The lower body of a warforge that'll kick anyone that gets too close.
    20A very large device in the back of the room, full of moving parts and glowing pieces, it's in tip top shape, cleaner than any other thing in the lab. Ten buttons labelled with an ancient script are on the front of the machine, upon pressing one, the device whirrs to life, steam arising from ever crack in the machine, the machine emits a loud clanking noise, as if a box of nuts were falling down a set of stairs. After 15 minites of this process the machine produces a cup of coffee. Each of the buttons is a different coffee setting.
    21A demon contained within a circle covered in runes.
    22A Cybernetic (animal, animal hybrid, demon, humanoid, monster). This creature is (asleep in a corner, chained to a table, chained to a wall, acting as a lab assistant, reading notes & mumbling to itself, standing guard, wearing a lab coat & performing various experiments).
    23Brain in a jar with eyes that watch you as you move around the room.
    24Strange device shooting off large electrical sparks. anyone who gets too close gets zapped.
    25Strange glowing crystal that seems to be held in some kind of containment field or an armor plated container with a viewing window.
    26Chalkboard with lots of mathematical formula, diagrams, or observations scrawled on it.
    27Stacks of notes with hastily written formula, diagrams, or observations written on them.
    28Vats of various chemicals.
    29A flamethrower.
    30An operating table. (empty clean, empty stained, animal, hybrid animal, humanoid, monster, stitched together creature, dissection).
    31Tools (electronic) - electric meters, forceps, soldering tools, tweezers, wires, wire cutters, wire strippers, etc

    34Lab Aprons covered in (blood, dried blood, grease, oil, unknown substance, unknown glowing substance).
    35Lab Aprons that have been partially burned by fire or eaten by acid.
    36Full Hazmat Suit.
    37Gas Masks.
    38Heavy Duty Rubber Gloves.
    39Lots of glass vials & beakers. some are labeled, some hold an unknown substance.
    40An extremely heavy duty operating table with a winch above it for moving something heavy.

    42Lots of cylindrical storage units with (animals, hybrid animals, humanoids, monsters, partially formed creatures, stitched together creatures, zombies) floating in some kind of (gel, goo, liquid). Creatures are (alive despite injuries, asleep, awake but drugged, flailing about trying to escape).
    43An incinerator for failed experiments.
    44A moldy sandwich on a plate. Your not sure if it was simply forgotten about or if it's one of the experiments.
    45An extremely heavy metal door, that has been dented & slightly bent outward from the other side. The door itself is jammed shut.

    48A bunch of failed owlbear like animal crossovers. Roll 2 d6 (1 owl, 2 wolf, 3 shark, 4 iguana, 5 beetle, 6 bear).
    49Flasks with various colored liquids in them and an assortment of labels that aren't stuck to the flasks yet. Nearby, there's a paper with labels written and scratched off as someone tries to figure out which label goes where.
    50A brick of black granite, with a summoning circle carved into the top of it. A pentagram and eye-watering runes that remain fuzzy no matter how much you concentrate on them have been etched into the top of it and filled in with a silver inlay. Wires rise up from the pentagram to above the center of the block where they meet up in a small ring, inside of which sits a regular old chicken egg. A large rusty electrical switch sits next to the block, with wires running into between them. If your flip the switch the pentagram and runes light up, and sparks travel from them up the wires to the egg, and then the sparks disappear. If you then crack open the egg, you find that it was scrambled inside it's own shell.

    64Two and three headed rats scurrying about.
    65Suit of Chainmail armor that does 1d6 lightning damage to attackers. Can be used 3x a day.
    66A cat that's purring intensely. When it opens its mouth to meow, you can see this is because it's actually just full of bees.
    67Innumerable tiny shoes next to a terrarium full of millipedes.
    68Alchemy jars full of urine.
    69A flintlock pistol filled with sugar in the barrel.
    70Schematics of a biological experiment gone horribly wrong that the party will have to face later.
    71A trapped Kenku capable of standard speech (as opposed to regular ones that can only mimic sounds).
    72The corpse of the scientist (starved, horribly mutilated, beaten, burned, frozen, gone peacefully in his sleep).
    73A newly invented musical instrument with a guide on how to use it.
    74A jar of powerful hallucinogenic mushrooms next to sketches of increasingly horrible monsters.

    81A botanical garden that can make whatever plant you need, within reason.
    82A pack of “Magic Cheese Triangles” and a jug of “Dew of the Mountain”.
    83A gauntlet that can deliver poisons by touch.
    84Various needles that either heal or damage 1d10.
    85A necklace of assorted teeth in a display case. You’re not sure if it’s enchanted or just weird.
    86A miniature boxing ring with two 1-foot high automatons fighting each other, one painted red and the other painted blue. The red one shoots fire and the blue one shoots ice.
    87Skeletons displayed showcasing past failed experiments with plaques that say “Experiment 81-C”, “Experiment DC-14”, etc.
    88A framed diploma from “MSU, Mad Science University”.
    89A letter from the Mad scientist’s mother, asking about the weather, making sure he’s getting enough sleep, etc., signed, “Love you sweetheart! -Mommy” with a heart.
    90A toupee in a glass box that growls and barks at passerby.
    91A copy of each of your PC without eyes and mouth. Just blank clones attached to any kind of device.
    92A lever that even when switched, turns off the lights. The lever is not connected to anything that should turn off said lights.

    95A small jar filled with a salve that makes skin turn transparent.
    96A large wooden box with a lid on it that reads 'Gullibility test #001. Please take ring of wishing from box and wish for gold. This is not a trap.' Anyone opening the box gets a mild electric shock and finds a slightly smaller box that reads 'Gullibility test #002. Please take ring of wishing from box and wish for gold. This is not a trap.'
    97A large and complex factional distillation apparatus, with vials and flasks of liquids and powders of many colors and textures. Behind them are several bins of deceased animals with various parts poorly grafted onto them from other animals.
    98Dozens and dozens of well-tended aquariums, some of which contain normal aquatic life, reptiles, arthropods, annelids etc. Others contain entirely unknown species.
    99A goblin centipede (A goblin with dozens of legs).
    100A sentient talking egg pie that has been listening to the mad scientist's ramblings. The pie also has the ability to gather the subconscious thoughts of whoever passes by, so the pie knows the entire layout of the mad scientist's home/lab. However, it has (ironically) a deathly allergy to eggs other than its own. Also, should someone eat a piece of the pie, they will gain some of its knowledge and a permanent increase to intellect.
