70. Two small groups of people, pointedly arguing. One is holding a book. Several figures lay strewn about. It sounds like a disagreement over interpretations of rules.

71. A large row boat crashes onto the ground in front of you. You are not sure where it fell from. A figure climbs out.

72. A large hole, with water flowing out and upwards like an inverted waterfall. It's flowing into an upside-down stone well. It isn't clear what the well is attached to. Is it floating or is that the ceiling?

73. A strange carriage, without wheels or horses, crashes to the ground ahead of you. Out of the wreckage climb six teenage children: one wears plate armor, another a cloak, another a robe and pointed hat, the fourth a horned helm, the fifth studded leather, and the last a skimpy acrobat's garments.

74. A group of seven men approaches. They are following the road east, and are making good time, neither tarrying nor running. Their faces are expressionless. One is dressed as a cleric of some sort, and another is dressed as a traveling drummer. The others could be peasants or serfs going from one location to another for the harvest season. Each carries some sort of weapon. It is plain that they are not soldiers by their haphazard way of walking. They do not seem to be joking loudly or singing as they advance.

75) A kobold levitates up the face of a nearby cliff, disappearing in a hole halfway up the cliff's face.

76) A group of griffins circles a nearby hilltop, occasionally swooping in toward something and then soaring back to rejoin the others.

77. Party is approached by a group of "goblins", beaten and the worse for wear. The leader of the goblins holding a white flag comes to the party...We want to hire you, a big bad has taken over our ruins and kicked us out, we just want to go home, please help."

78. A wagon of "very high" CHR members of the opposite sex (could be the same) has broken an axel. Does the party stop? They are on their way to Pompeii or Vegas or Spring break. Does the party help?

79. Enter a tavern, the party is cheered and fire crackers are set off and everyone is happy to see them, sign is unrolled, saying congratulations! They are the 1000 customer and have won a trip to Castle Killmenow, a nice little estate overlooking the ocean.

80. Halflings are running toward the party, behind them dirt is flying into the air.

81. Players find fish in the road before them, lots of fish but the closest body of water is miles away.

82. Party comes upon another party, they look just like each other and dress like each other, except for a few minor details.

83. Bandits and road watch are at a standoff, the bandits on one side of the road, the road watch on the other. Weapons are drawn and they are yelling at each other.
