UO Second Age

I find these treasure chests in the woods every once in a while. I was wondering if these always appear in the same spots at random times, or is it completely random?

These chests are the remnants of a successfully completed mongbat map. Mongbat maps are found on every 3000th or so mongbat. When you decode a mongbat map (using the animal lore skill), you will be able to dig up a chest. When this chest appears about 50 very strong mongbats will spawn. Once you kill all of them, you must face the Mongbat Lord. He has the strength of three normal mongbat, and he can casts fireball with enough mana for up to three fireballs. BEWARE! When you kill him, he drops a key. Now, you must take this key to an NPC in Britain named "Hemperor." He can usually be found sitting at the bank. This NPC will give you a new key that can open the chest. Inside the chest you will find another mongbat map.

Or, more likely, they are the remnants of actual treasure maps (spawn on monsters, contain decent loot when dug up) or NPC kidnaps victims, who often spawn with chests nearby.

you must take this key to an NPC in Britain named "Hemperor."

This Mongbat Lord, is his name "Jerry Lee" by chance?
