Are there towns in between the departure and arrival points?  If so, they arrive at a town that is celebrating something in their town's history, a big local festival, and the entertainers decide to stop and perform.  The celebration also includes all sorts of competitions, and the PCs can join in the fun.  I've had two very memorable D&D experiences that involved competitions.2. A troll guarding a bridge.  C'mon, you know you wanna.  But give the troll some personality, some intelligence, and no obvious desire to eat or kill anyone.  Could be a good social skill challenge.3. Get the PCs involved in a performance by the entertainers.  Perhaps some of their regular performers fall sick.  If the party has someone acrobatic, perhaps someone good at oration (Diplomacy), or perhaps a wizard with some sweet cantrips and illusion spells, it might represent a nice use of abilities outside combat.</blockquote>
