What's in your pockets?

A character of yours is apprehended by the local guards. While being processed, they have to empty your character’s pockets. What do they find?

Myorga:

Rations including tea bags, coffee grounds, and MREs
wolf treats
a shank made from the broken blade of an orcish war axe
her insignia pin from the Gilneas Imperial Army
Her weapon
Her mother’s wedding ring

Assuming a scenario similar to the airport security line…not so much items in pockets as much as items on person.

– two rimed runeblades studded with worg teeth and orc tusks
– two elvish longknives
– skinning knife
– one knife for each boot
– stiletto knife hidden by backplate
– old wedding ring
– small pile of silver and copper coins
– two vials of some sort of healing potion
– travel-size hairbrush
– ribbons to tie back hair
– toothbrush
– whetstone
– cleaning rag
– small tin of sword/armor polish
– various maps and legal documents pertaining to his ranger band and the Alliance in general

Good question, let’s see. Rather than pockets, most of it would be in a backpack.

-A pouch of gold and silver coins
-Road rations. Strips of salted meat, dried fruit and flatbread
-A metal flask for water and drinks
-A hand-sized notebook. Full of drawing sketches and scribbled notes that make no sense to anyone
-A wrapped bar of soap
-A small knife. Useless as a weapon, just a general working tool.
-Some knotted rope
-A small personal cooking pan and bags of exotic herbs and spices
-A curious pocket watch given to her as a gift. Made of silver and glowing with an eerie green light. Apparently it has other functions, but she has yet to discover them.
-A black traveling cloak. Depending on the weather, she might be wearing it instead.

She spends much of her time on the road by herself so many of her possessions on hand are just lightweight practical gear. Most of it isn’t that valuable.

Judging by the laughing skull mask, that’s probably 16 names for the same knife.

Let’s just hope that when she uses it as a poop knife, she cleans it before using it as a tooth cleaning knife. But again, if she’s a laughing skull, I’d doubt that crosses her mind. Gotta love laughing skulls.

On my person attached either to my belt or side of my shoulder pack:

  • Journal for note taking all written in draconic
  • Grimoire on the history of magic
  • Grimoire on Arcane and its unconventional uses
  • Journal detailing results of current research project written in draconic
  • A small book on enchanting
  • A small book with engineering schematics

Hip pouches are layered and connected to each other.

Looks something similar to this

Hip pouch 1 - Smallest

  • A random collection of pens and a pair of spectacles in a sleeve

Hip pouch 2 - Medium

  • An assortment of gold coins

Hip pouch 3 - Large

  • An assortment of various dragon scales from black, red, and blue origins

Shoulder Pack

  • Appears strangely empty when opened by the guards
    *Actually an enchanted pack linked directly to my lab, only responds to my opening, otherwise just an empty sack.

Loving all these replies!

It’s interesting to see what people carry on themselves.

My rogue, Kaleli Darkrange carries this:

  • At least 20 knives
  • two hidden guns
  • several small vials of poison
  • A gag
  • A bottle of chloroform
  • Soap

She and Vozul share an appreciation for sharp things.

Thiska doesn’t have pockets on her robe, so like many others, she has a smaller backpack. It contains -

-Mana regeneration potions, because… priest.
-A jewel her husband gifted to her.
-Fruits wrapped up in cloth, no meat, she’s a vegetarian.
-Large sum of gold, she says she’s always broke.
-Extra robes just in case she wants to get more comfortable.
-A brand new knife that she never uses.
-Picture of her husband, Thasurrus.
-Another picture at the very bottom of her bag, which she never visits anymore. A picture of her ex-husband, torn up into pieces.
