I set to collecting bat poo with gay abandon. "This will do very nicely! Yes it will, very nicely indeed!" Imp mimicks the actions but is repelled at the thought of touching the nasty stuff with its nice clean claws. Imp is fastidious.

Watches the mage, shakes head. The doors were made in '79, eh? Wasn't that an election year in this gods-forsaken land? I don't know, I am from another world. SPLUGORTH YOU FUCK. PERISH IN FLAME!!!! I do seem to recall there were strikes and upheaval in '79. Also some noted shifting in musical tastes, accompanied by a mini-cultural-revolution involving pants. I digress. Doors without handles are very 70's. I push on the east door, in its center.

The door opens into a 40'x40' room, with an exit (an archway) on the East wall.
A neatly folded pair of trousers and a ring are in the center of the room.

I pick it up and put it on the finger it best fits. I then put the trousers in my pack. I then pick the lamp up again.

Straight from the pages of OD&D Greyhawk --> I just filled in the details. Comments & suggestions are welcome.
Ring of Bickering and Discord XP: 0, GP: 8000
If this ring is donned, everyone in a 100' radius starts to bicker loudly. The players begin to bicker loudly, about real-world religion and politics. Encourage the players to role-play (tone of voice), etc. and keep an eye on your stopwatch. Every full minute of this, there is a 50% chance of things elevating to the level of discord.
Once things get to the level of discord, every round there is a 50% chance that a wandering monster appears. This only appears once per activation of the ring (the ring is activated by simply wearing it).
Discord - All creatures are affected and immediately fall to loudly bickering and arguing; furthermore, there is a 50% probability that creatures of different alignment will attack each other. The bickering lasts for 5-20 rounds; the fighting for 2-8 rounds.
After the duration of the ring runs out, the ring goes inert until someone decides to wear it again.

Oh, so you're just taking that ring , eh. Typical greedy American. Let me do all the dangerous door-checking work, and take all the treasure.
Yeah, that's right. You go first, for once.
What size are the trousers? Are they good quality?

Things have elevated to the level of DISCORD! (2/16) You carry on hurling invectives, vitriol, and expressions of ill-will towards each other. (PLEASE POST IN-CHARACTER COMMENTS IN CAPS). Through the east archway you go... A 20' wide passageway, bisected by a river goes east. There is a bridge across the river. There is a side-passage, 10' wide, that goes north. Your basic options at this point: * W (back to bat country) * E (across the bridge) * N (down the side passage)

You want them NOW? YOU CAN'T HAVE 'EM. And that's RIGHT, I used a CONTRACTION! (I'm storming off to the east. Shouting as I go.)

Your LOUD BICKERING has attracted the attention of a formian (a giant centaur-ant). He stands on the bridge and does the antish equivalent of a face-palm.

OH, YOU WANT THE PANTS, TOO, RING-BOY? FINE. (throws them on the floor). PICK 'EM UP, ASSHOLE. (I thought I put those in my pack? Eh, let's roll with it.) I pick the pants up, hold them over the side of the bridge and shout, "THEY'RE THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU? HOW'S ABOUT I TOSS 'EM OVER?" I suddenly notice the Formian and turn to face it. "What the HELL do YOU WANT?!? YOU CAN'T HAVE MY PANTS! THEY'RE TOO FANCY FOR YA, ANTBOY!" I move to where DP is and put the pants in my pack. "THERE! Now you have to COME GET 'EM!"

The formian backs away, carefully, it's antennae twitching in confusion. (It is size S, in D&D terms).

I pick up the fallen spear.
"YOU IDIOT! I'M NOT ANTBOY!"
I toss the spear into the river so DP can't have it.

The spear floats down the river.
Antboy runs away to the east!

"AND FOR THAT MATTER YOU CAN'T HAVE MY RING EITHER!"
I take the ring off and toss THAT in the river too.
