Squire’s Quest to the Isle of Fey

Oberon’s Money Box a small casket with a simple lock with the key in it. Inside are a Crecelle and a very large number of silver coins. In the Crecelle is a list of coin currencies so if the Command ‘Florins!’ is given the coins change to florins. If the Crecelle is closed, any of the coins outside the chest become leaves for this is elf money!
NOTE: A Crecelle looks like a book that has a cover and no pages. The spell or information is written inside. They only work when open.
