They were not meant as encounters or even plot devices but simply interesting things that PCs may encounter on the way to somewhere. One of the, which I used once, was a meteor. During the night when the PCs camped, they say a shooting star, then a day or two later, the encountered an impacted meteorite by the side of the road. No encounter, no magic, just a simple meteor fall, but the PCs spent a lot of time exploring the area <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />A short travelling story. The PCs are travelling somewhere and when it got near dark, they stopped off at a roadside inn and tavern. Typical, ordinary inn/tavern stuff. In the middle of the night one of the PCs woke up, smelling smoke. Everyone else in the building was asleep and he went to investigate and found that, in the tavern, a cask had broken loose and rolled into the fireplace. The remaining cinders caught fire and a small fire was spreading. The PC put the fire out and went to bed. The next day, the PCs left the roadside inn and an hour later came to a town. The first person that they met greeted them and suggested that they stay in the inn in town because it is the only inn for 8 hours of travel. When the PCs inquired about the inn that they had stayed at just out of town, the townsperson told them that the inn had burned down years ago and everyone inside had died!!! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> B</blockquote>
