Hidden Locker
Summary
The Hidden Locker is a secret compartment concealed behind a Hilary Duff poster in Dunko Guzman's apartment. Roughly the size of a middle school locker, this hidden storage space serves as a cache for stolen goods and smuggled valuables. The locker's interior bears the carved Sniff Lord Symbol—an oval containing two circles side by side—directly linking Dunko Guzman to The Sniff Lord's criminal operations. The discovery of this compartment in Session 2 provides concrete evidence of ongoing smuggling activity and reveals the scope of Dunko Guzman's involvement in illicit trade.
Description
The locker itself sits behind multiple layers of concealment. The outer layer consists of rolled-up posters featuring various teen heartthrobs, which must be removed to reveal the actual compartment. Once accessed, the locker opens to reveal a space approximately the size of a standard middle school locker. On one interior wall, someone has carved the Sniff Lord Symbol—described as "an oval with two circles side by side inside it"—marking this space as connected to The Sniff Lord's network.
The contents at the time of discovery included a substantial cache of valuables: approximately 250 coins of mixed denominations (gold, silver, copper, and what appeared to be a shinier variety of silver), a Hand Mirror valued at 400 coins, a Gold Military Bust worth 900 coins, a knife in its sheath, and a magical Butterfly Brooch. The collection represents a significant store of wealth derived from smuggling operations.
History
Session 2
The party discovers the hidden locker while investigating Dunko Guzman's apartment. Safiya takes down the Hilary Duff poster, which reveals "a further cubby that's full of rolled up posters for all kinds of teen heartthrobs." Removing these additional posters exposes the locker itself and its valuable contents.
Upon examining the interior, the party finds the carved Sniff Lord Symbol on one wall, establishing a direct connection between Dunko Guzman and The Sniff Lord's criminal organization. This discovery provides the first physical evidence linking Dunko Guzman to the smuggling network that the party has been investigating, confirming suspicions about his role in illicit activities connected to the Pinecone Restaurant and Spa.
