Sights: An inn that has been carefully constructed to appear as if it was turned upside-down.

5
Sights: A cleric comes down the path followed by a small retinue of acolytes, full of confidence. The acolytes are convinced that the cleric they follow has been bestowed with powers from the gods. In reality he has routinely gotten lucky with every miracle he has performed. The acolytes wish to see his strength in action and vehemently challenge the party on his behalf to a gentleman’s duel. The cleric, unable to say no to the wishes of his followers, confides in secret to the party that he has no powers and begs them to let him win.
6
Sights: A talking dog has decided to follow the party and wants to make them happy.
7
Sights: An incredibly detailed, broken bust of a young wood elf, bearing a red crown. Its nose and left ear are missing and where its left eye should be, the socket is destroyed, and a monstrously decomposed snake eye can be found. The base has a bronze plaque which reads (in broken Celestial): ‘The only one truly meant to rule’, followed by a name which seems scratched out.

9
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. It started with travelers who erected a signpost pointing to their distant homelands which other travelers added to. Eventually it got out of hand.
10
Sights: Deep in the woods, a small group of trees whose leaves are bright red. They contrast starkly with the normal trees around them. The Candle trees appear otherwise normal, but the dried leaves can be brewed into a tea that warms the bones even on the coldest nights.
11
Sights: Two sequoia trees whose bases are over a hundred feet apart have grown together and connect about 160 to 180 feet off the ground. The branches and leaves of these giant trees create a pleasantly shaded area below which is often used by the local populace as sites of wedding ceremonies.
12
13
Sights: A small waterfall that appears to reverse direction on every night with a bright full moon, running up instead of down.
14
15
Sights: A local bard offers a gold to whoever can make his bodyguard laugh.
16
17
Sights: A 15ft tall stone hand stretches from the ground, reaching for the sky.
18
Sights: A broken but thick 15ft wide half-circle embedded to the ground made of quartz and intricately laced with gold strips. An assortment of precious gems are embedded in its surface. Any attempt to collect and/or destroy this construct will cause severe psychic damage and a loud high-pitched tone to play loudly. The half-circle aligns perfectly with sunset/sunrise and every time it does, the most beautiful flute melody plays that is sourceless.
19
Sights: A local bard offers a gold to whoever can make his bodyguard laugh.

21
22
Sights: A ranger (scout) searching for a missing companion, lover, or long-lost ancestor.
23
Sights: A small shack almost hidden by the deep forest. The interior is empty aside from a large cast-iron oven.
24
Sights: A buzzard alights atop a stone or statue nearby and makes disgusting noises at the party, drops a half-eaten zombie part, then flies away. The body-part has a tattoo or a piece of jewelry (worth 100gp or less) or something relating to the plot.
25
Sights: In the middle of a grassy field stands an 8ft slim cone made of iron bars, in the middle of the structure lies a sun-bleached skeleton bound in iron shackles.
26
Sights: Deep in a forest, trees are marred with years old axe and sword marks. Hundreds of skeletons dressed in rusted armor and weapons lie in this area. Taking a trinket, or even loitering may be unwise.
27
28
Sights: There’s a strange dune of sand in the middle of this grassy field, covered in scorpions.
29
Sights: Razorvine. AC 11, HP 25, immunity to bludgeon, pierce, psychic. On contact, DC 10 Dex save or take 1d10 slashing damage.
30
Sights: Strong gravity. Jump distance and carrying capacity are halved, and fall damage is doubled.
31
Sights: A large, symmetrical hill where the site of a great battle once was. Stone rubble and ruins barely peaks out from the top. Flowers are left there every so often.
32
33
Sights: The local guards have set up a roadblock while they search for a fleeing criminal, and have a series of inane questions for the party to answer. They aren't looking for help, and take any attempts by the party to get involved as an unwelcome complication to what is clearly already tiresome work.
34
Sights: Strong gravity. Jump distance and carrying capacity are halved, and fall damage is doubled.
35
36
Sights: There is a patch of trees here with a non-stop turbulent wind rustling the leaves and branches violently. The leaves’ edges appear to be razor sharp.
37
Sights: A traveling merchant selling standard equipment at 10% over book price.
38
Sights: The ancient ruins of a strangely ‘modern-looking’ tavern located in the deepest patches of forest. No path leads to it, no other buildings or ruins are found besides it, but dozens of deformed footsteps can be found heading out of the site. At night, the faint, muffled sound of a single viol can be heard coming out of the muddy floor.
39
Sights: Two sequoia trees whose bases are over a hundred feet apart have grown together and connect about 160 to 180 feet off the ground. The branches and leaves of these giant trees create a pleasantly shaded area below which is often used by the local populace as sites of wedding ceremonies.
40
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.
41
Sights: Dashed upon the rocks are the remains of a large merchant ship. Weathered and ancient, the skeletons of the crew still scattered around though most everything of value has long since been looted.
42
Sights: A clear pool of water with 6 sleeping animals lying around its edge
43
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. It started with travelers who erected a signpost pointing to their distant homelands which other travelers added to. Eventually it got out of hand.
44
45
Sights: A 120ft diameter crater. Now filled with water and inhabited by pond creatures.
46

In reality he has routinely gotten lucky with every miracle he has performed. The acolytes wish to see his strength in action and vehemently challenge the party on his behalf to a gentleman’s duel. The cleric, unable to say no to the wishes of his followers, confides in secret to the party that he has no powers and begs them to let him win.
49
Sights: At a crossroads sits an unusual statue, made of stone it stands over 10 feet tall and has arms sticking out in every direction with their palm turned upwards. In nearly every hand there is a candle, some still lit but most are fully melted. Placing a candle in one of the hands and lighting it will give the player the blessing of ‘A helping hand.’ When a player next fails a roll, they may roll an additional d6 and add it to their total.
50
Sights: There’s a strange dune of sand in the middle of this grassy field, covered in scorpions.
51
52
Sights: A large swath of woods where all the trees in a massive circle have been bent at a 90-degree angle towards the center but continue to grow that way. There is nothing (currently) anomalous at the center, but a powerful coven of druids hold it as one of their holiest places and guards it closely.
53
Sights: A grassy hill of noticeable height rises from the otherwise flat plains. On the hill are several lines of cobblestone that do not grow grass and have no discernible pattern from the surface. If flying, however, you see the cobblestone lines form the shape of a bird, along with some arcane symbols. If you happen to look up during the spring or fall, you’ll see migratory birds alter their course to fly over this hill.
54
Sights: A fifteen-foot statue of a girl unmarred by time. Next to her are the shattered remains of another statue, close enough that the body may have once held her outstretched hand. The feet of this larger statue are all that remain affixed to the earth – the rest is scattered throughout the clearing. Water, clean and pure, travels down her face in steady rivulets but leaves no erosion there.
55
Sights: Ramparts, high hills, and trenches filled with water that stretch for mile marking the location an ancient battlefield. It has grown over.
56
Sights: A large, symmetrical hill where the site of a great battle once was. Stone rubble and ruins barely peaks out from the top. Flowers are left there every so often.
57
Sights: A massive artwork carved into a boulder placed some ways away from the banks of a nearby river. The artwork seems to depict a struggle between giants and dragons, with the giants as the victors. The faintly red runes which line it are giantish, and anyone who can decipher them will read that it marks a momentous battle between giants and dragons, over which should decide the course of the river.
58
Sights: A half erected statue of an old folk hero. Either under construction or half crumbled.
59
Sights: For a few hundred feet, wherever the characters step, flowers bloom and emit soft light.

61
Sights: A large, circular pool off of a main river which is geothermally heated.
62
63
64
Sights: The spirit of a dead chef appears and asks the party to prepare a meal he has never seen before.
65
66
Sights: A 120ft diameter crater. Now filled with water and inhabited by pond creatures.
67
68
69
Sights: A 50-foot-tall stone statue of an elf warrior with hand raised, palm out, as if to forbid travelers from coming this way
70
Sights: A large disc shaped stone at the base of a long dormant volcano. Visitors toss a copper at it for good luck. There are a couple hundred copper around it. It is considered extraordinarily bad luck to take the coppers.
71
Sights: A 50-foot-tall stone statue of an elf warrior with hand raised, palm out, as if to forbid travelers from coming this way
72
Sights: A minor noble returning from an unsuccessful hunt, with retinue. The noble is not a skilled hunter yet thinks himself to be the greatest in the land, partially due to the plethora of compliments he receives on a daily basis from his followers. He challenges the party to a contest of who can bring down the largest brown bear and wagers his pouch of gold.
73
Sights: An incredibly detailed, broken bust of a young wood elf, bearing a red crown. Its nose and left ear are missing and where its left eye should be, the socket is destroyed, and a monstrously decomposed snake eye can be found. The base has a bronze plaque which reads (in broken Celestial): ‘The only one truly meant to rule’, followed by a name which seems scratched out.
74
Sights: An enormous high relief of six dwarven warriors cut from a cliff pointing the way along, commemorating their epic journey.
75
Sights: It’s an oak tree with the word hope carved into it in large letters. No one knows who did it or why, but it’s turned into a useful landmark for the local village.
76
77
Sights: A smooth stone with a bunch of growing moss on it. Touching the stone with a bare hand results in the moss slowly moving to wherever was touched. On the stone are several handprints and doodles perfectly covered over with the moss.
