Just Another Road Thread

[ExploderWizard]

You encounter "The Roadies Without A Band."

They make obeisance toward you, and offer you a mixed assortment of coaxial cables and past-dated flyers advertising gigs that happened (or not) some time ago. (Some of the flyers might be "collectible"!)

If you leave them alive, they follow after you in search of fulfillment -- or at least a purpose in life.

Heh. I have featured The personality of Dell Preston (the greatest roadie who ever lived) as an NPC in several of my games.

There's a girl up ahead. Her mouth has been heavily gagged with cloth, and there is a fearful look in her eyes. She is standing, but her feet are bound together. Likewise, her hands are bound over her head by strong rope. The rope goes up, and up, and up, into the clouds. There is a small sign in front of her stuck in the grass. Someone has written on it 'this is a trap'.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I love this idea so much I am going to have to use it now!

You are traveling down the road when you encounter 2 young, dark skinned men who claim to be a herald and a registrar. They say that a bard of some renown was driven mad by some corrupted pipeweed and rotten rye bread. In his madness, he has stolen their carriage, gathered up some low women, and and left them on foot at the roadside.

This theft has left them with little hope that they can accomplish their quest to attend a feast at the Great White Castle of the West.

Can you help them?

You are walking down a road when a gnome jumps out of a bush waving a fat sleepy badger in your face saying “hi this is Francis, he like you!”

A large group of what looks like red squirrels playing Robin Hood jump out of the trees and shot tiny bows at you.

The PCs are walking down a swampy road there is a thick fog all around them and visibility is bad. They hear lots of birds and bugs singing, they also hear a large number of what sound like VARY big frogs. On the path in front of them a pair of what looks like car head lights blink on.

The road reaches a vast canyon, perhaps a quarter mile across, and easily that or more to the ground below. A dry stream follows the canyon bottom. You glance at your map, which indicates the market road should be coming upon the village to which you were travelling.

***

You come upon a stopped coach, surrounded by brigands. The coachman and a well-dressed passenger appear to be robbing the brigands.

***

You see two figures on the road. Upon further inspection, they appear to be motionless. The first figure, a hulking minotaur, is holding the hand of the second figure, a very young human girl. They each bear a look of surprise.

Upon inspection, the two very life-like figures appear to be made of stone.

Three young men approach you. They oohh and ahhh over you, proclaiming you the biggest, baddest adventurers they've ever seen and how they want to be just like you. Could you please buy them swords and beer?

Or maybe just beer.
