I did not read all of this thread but I like the "Go out and find out what happened to the last party we sent out to certin death".

181. While traveling in a small kingdom, the PCs happen upon a (peaceful) hunting party led by the king himself... who looks exactly like one of the PCs! The king asks the PC to impersonate him so he can shirk his kingly duties.

(Cf. The Prisoner of Zenda, an excellent movie on this theme.)

182. The god/ess of agriculture has gone missing. Everyone will starve unless the PCs do something.

183. A BBEG has recovered an artifact that enables him to Change Self but not even True Seeing will reveal his real identity. The PCs must acquire *another* artifact to see through his disguise in order to root him out. ....if only we knew where that artifact was...

184. People travelling from city A to city B are coming up missing. It's only a days travel away. Perhaps the wayward Inn's innskeeper knows something?

185. A crazed wizard applies the Hypermitotic (see Book of Templates) to a mouse. This template means that the cells divide in the mouse at a rapid pace, and every week, every mouse splits in two. The town has become overrun with mice. Can the PCs find a way to eradicate all the mice before they envelop the planet?

186. The PCs *conveniently* find a map to a dungeon where "great treasures" await. Unbeknownst to the PCs, they will release a canny Djinni from his prison should they pilfer it.

187. The PCs are asked to stop a necromancer who has a tower in the swamps outside town. The village elders fear that she is becoming too powerful. The PCs thwart her tower, defeat her undead minions, and then find her - 8 months pregnant! Can they bring themselves to kill her and her unborn child?

188. A legendary artifact, the fabled Sword of Life, has fallen into the hands of a kindly paladin, who has figured out how to use it. Death is angry at the sleight(the Sword works by killing the servitors he sends to collect the souls of the dead) but dares not risk attacking the paladin himself, for fear of the consequences if he is slain by the pretty but naive young woman. Can the PCs convince her to give up the sword to restore the natural order?

189. In a city with a strong following to the Temple of Aphrodite(or other appropriate god or goddess of love), a killer is on the loose, apparently immune to the effects of divine magic and killing any that he finds in the acts of lovemaking, or even scantily clad. None are claiming responsibility, but the priestesses of Artemis claim that it is a punishment for the Aphroditeses' wild sexuality. Is it an undead? a golem? a demon? Or simply a crazed cult? Whoever it is, they seem to have the uncanny ability to track down any who are aroused; the pleasurehouses have all but closed, and none dare walk at night.

190) A farmer has discovered a deck of many things, and has started charging the local townspeople to try a hand at the quintissential game of chance. Horror, hilarity and a pile of dead commoners ensues.

191) A previously unknown island is discovered, and is the home of a sprawling necropolis with surprisingly advanced technology- and they don't like us.

192) A nearby volcano erupts, and the PCs must evacuate the townspeople.

193) A wizard is rumored to have started harvesting body parts for something known only as "The Big One"

194) Awakened kung-fu monkeys have been stealing children and sacrificing them to heathen gods!

195) A gigantic whale moves into the mouth of the harbor, and decides it quite likes it there. No ship can get in or out.

196) The city is was in the middle of a forest yesterday, but now it's at the center of a vast desert.

You should paste the complete so-far list in your first post by editing it, this way it would be easier to reference.

98. A small town is about to be demolished by a volcano, and the sage is having trouble convincing people.

192) A nearby volcano erupts, and the PCs must evacuate the townspeople.

Gah! We're repeating ourselves!

Problem is that I'm compiling the list, but I am not the thread starter. I tried to get Malk (thread starter) to post this URL in his first post for that very reason:

Compiled list to date: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1333282#post1333282

I'll email him and see if he'll do it.
