Treasure
The ground floor of the Daern’s instant fortress contains 50,000 cp, 10,000 sp, 10,000 gp, 1,000 pp, 15 assorted gems (100 gp each), and a +2 shield emblazoned with a stylized silver dragon that is the emblem of the Order of the Silver Dragon (see chapter 7). The shield whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated.
+2 shield with +2 to initiative ... everything else is flavor (you won't be rolling initiative when incapacitated most of the time since whatever makes you incapacitated usually happens after initiative - or you happen to be asleep when rolling initiative)
