Wheelbarrow of Stealthy Transportation—Sort Of

This ingeniously over-engineered wheelbarrow was meant to be a silent stealth vehicle, but something went horribly wrong. It has been cursed—or perhaps just overly tinkered with—and now produces a progressively louder and more ridiculous squeaking noise every time Fizzlebop tries to modify, repair, or "improve" it.

• Inescapable Squeak: Every time the Turbo-Wheel moves more than 5 feet, it emits a comically loud squeak. The sound doubles in volume for every failed attempt to fix it.
• Squeak-Based Stealth: Any Stealth check made while pushing or riding in the Turbo-Wheel automatically fails unless the creatures nearby are already deaf or really polite.
• Momentum Malfunction: Once per day, the Turbo-Wheel randomly activates and starts rolling on its own in a random direction (1d8). If Fizzlebop is near it, he must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or get yeeted into the wheelbarrow and carried along for the ride.
  • 1-2: North
  • 3-4: South
  • 5-6: West
  • 7-8: East
• Unpredictable Features:
  • Spring-Loaded Assist: On a natural 1 on an ability check, the Turbo-Wheel’s "assisted push" mechanism activates, launching Fizzlebop (or any occupant) 10 feet forward into whatever is in the way.
  • Gnome Catapult Mode: If a creature over 100 lbs. tries to use it, the Turbo-Wheel buckles under the weight and instead catapults them 15 feet in a random direction.

Breaking the Curse – The Legendary Oil

The only way to remove the curse (and silence the wheel for good) is to locate a rare and elusive magical lubricant known as...

"Wiz-Dee 4T"

(Also called the "Elixir of Squeakless Serenity")

This legendary arcane oil is rumored to be created by a cabal of retired artificers who got sick of the sound of their own inventions. One drop of Wiz-Dee 4T permanently silences the Turbo-Wheel, restoring it to actual silent operation… or at least, making it quiet enough to not be heard from another plane of existence.
