Things you find on the road?

[AdmundfortGeographer]

The fresh, wet corpse of a whale.

A giant fork. [Couldn't resist]

A sinkhole opened up directly where the road passes, the bottom unseen in the dark, but human screams emanating.

Two trees (not native to the region says the druid) on either side of the road with branches crossing out over the road effectively arching above the road, passing between triggers a one-way teleportation . . . Many years later the heroes could encounter the same pair of trees somewhere else in the world a few more times. Eventually the teleportation brings the heroes to another world or plane, maybe to an audience with a meddling god.

I'd give you XP, TC, but I gotta spread it around. That is precisely what was in my head, and the song is stuck there as well. "Movin' right along . . ."

Things you find on The Road, huh?

Spoiler

A father and son with a little push cart trying to make it to the ocean.

A forest burning for no apparent reason.

A gated tunnel where a bunch of perverted cannibals come out and try to kill and eat you.

A house just off The Road, in the basement are human livestock for said cannibals.

A nearly blind man who's starving but can tell tales of the times before.

A gas station with a pop machine with a single can of Coke inside

A man and a woman hiding on the second floor of a nearby building, the man shoots you with an arrow.

Another traveler who tries to steal your clothes.

A pile of clothes and a can of Spam.

The initial sense of depression and dread that turns to boredom because The Road is so long...

 

[CapnZapp]

You enter a 10' by 10' room. In the room is an Orc and a Saucy Tart.

So that's where Monte Cook got his inspiration!

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Friends of the road are always there.
