Sights: Rats crawl from a trash-heap in an alleyway and drag forth something shiny. It turns out to be... some shiny trash! (After rolling for initiative and an investigation check, it uncovers a bit more.. and a bit more.. and...) (10% chance of necklace or costume jewelry worth 10-100gp, 10% chance of 1 gold piece, 10% chance of 1 silver piece, 10% chance of 10 copper pieces; 10% chance of trash-borers or some sort of malevolent minor monster encounter, CR minus 2). In the process of rummaging thru the trash a hook towards the current plot or adventure, or a message or sign about the urgency of their current mission falls in their lap to get them back on track again.

20
Sights: A collection of several dozen poles each with a dozen or more signs mounted to them pointing towards various distant lands, nearby businesses, and bizarre joke locations.

21
Sights: A limping bailiff and his badly beaten prisoner are walking down the road. The man is being returned to jail for theft and assaulting a member of justice.

The prisoner swears on his honor that if the party pays his fine of 25 gold pieces that he will stay with the group to work off the debt by being the party’s servant. He originally offers his services for one gold per day but is willing to haggle. If the fine is paid the prisoner stays with the party for only half of any agreed time before attempting to run away in the night.
