Cauldron of Plenty (Magic Cauldron)

This magical item was created by druids of the deity Dagda in imitation of the deity's own, more powerful, device. In addition, the cauldron of plenty is cursed to bring harm to any person who obtains it by violence, since it was created to be used without charge by all who wish to partake of its benefits. The only exception to the curse is if the cauldron is obtained by a druidic follower of Dagda, in which case the curse is not activated.
The curse is suitably vague and slow in effect, but very certain; the DM should take a free hand in designing its consequences. Three to six months after the cauldron is taken by violence from its previous owner, the new owner will be attacked by a comparatively powerful enemy in a fight to the death. The enemy should be a single monster or NPC, or a group of beings; the reason for the attack could vary widely, but it always concerns retaliation for some perceived offense. If the first attack fails, the next attack comes in 1d4+1 months; if that fails, another occurs in 1d4 months, then 1d3 months, 1d2 months, one month, three weeks, two weeks, one week, and then every day from six days to one. Finally, the new owner is attacked on a daily basis by some new and powerful force, until the cauldron is given up or the owner is slain.
In its normal function as a provider of large quantities of food, the cauldron operates only at the command of beings whose alignment has a neutral element (true neutral, neutral good or evil, or lawful or chaotic neutral). It does not function for those of other alignments.
Once per day, when the proper command words are spoken, the cauldron produces beef, mutton, or pork in quantities sufficient to feed 5d10 people. It never produces fewer than five portions, nor does it produce more food than that required for the immediate party. The cauldron produces only one type of meat, once per day. The command words are: 
Command 	Result
“Dean Mairteoil”	Cooked beef
“Dean Caoireoil”	Cooked mutton
“Dean Muiceoil” 	Cooked pork
