LOL -- I once ran a game where the characters *had to* travel through the extensive treasure vaults of a centuries old witch, I mean it was organised more like a museum of magic items painstakingly categorised and laid out for maximum visual display and easy access.
So there were about 95% beneficial items in their thousands, 4% junk, 1% weird and dangerous stuff : so ofc, what kind of item you think gets picked up first ? haha
IIRC one of the players for some unfathomable reason tried to grab what I think was THE most dangerous item in the complex.
They didn't *dare* touch anything after that, and it was so much fun describing the contents of the craziest treasure hoard you can think of to a group of players saying "don't touch ! don't touch ! bad !!!"
