Locations
1
Sights: A farmer returning from town with his three daughters is seen on the side of the road huddled beneath their damaged cart. The family has been attacked by a swarm of stirges as the evidenced by the presence of a stirge, bludgeoned with a shovel. The family asks the party to escort them the remainder of the way home. Their home is an hours walk out of the way for the party and an hour is needed to fix the cart.
2
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.
3
Sights: A small shack almost hidden by the deep forest. The interior is empty aside from a large cast-iron oven.
4
Sights: A gigantic stone carving of a toad’s head, crumbling, half-buried, and covered in moss.
5
6
Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.
7
Sights: Pranked by a Faerie Dragon. The dragon lures a skunk into their camp while they are sleeping. The party is sprayed giving disadvantage on stealth rolls until they can shower and launder their cloths.
8
Sights: A small clearing in a forest, near a cave mouth, contains dozens of statues of humanoid creatures, many armed & armored, all with looks of surprise & horror on their stone faces.
9
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.
10
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
11
Sights: A 15ft tall stone hand stretches from the ground, reaching for the sky.
12
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.
13
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.
14
Sights: 4 merchants with their donkey (they're bandits that may attack weak-looking PCs).
15
16
Sights: A series of jutting tooth like spires of black igneous rock which rise out from the sea. These “teeth” have proven to be an extreme hazard to sailors and shipping which pass too near to them. Tearing hulls and ripping sails.
17
18
Sights: A series of vaguely conic stone spires lined up along a gentle arc. Each is over 15ft tall and 5ft across at the base, and tapers to a narrow tip. Nobody knows the origin of this formation. Some say the teeth are all that remains from some colossal dragon skeleton, others think the stones were placed there by a dragon cult, or as a sign from Bahamut.
19
Sights: A seemingly average looking berry bush that happens to grow small jewels instead of berries. If one where to try and consume one of the jewels picked off of the bush within 24hrs, that person gains a temporary magical effect or bonus, otherwise it’s a normal jewel.
20
21
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.
22
Sights: 3 web cocoons hanging from the branches, holding withered carcasses
23
Sights: Local constable and his posse, with a suspicious outlook of strangers. He explains that there has been a series of murders in the area over the last month and demands to know the party’s business in these parts. He encourages that the party keep their business above board.
24
25
Sights: There’s a half-buried village in the sand, with sandstone walls being the only remnants… except for one house, which has a simple roof and door carved into the stone.
26
Sights: A sentient door in the side of a mountain that has short term memory loss. He has no idea of his name or how to open himself but enjoys talking with travelers none the less. Speaking the magic word “please” will cause the door to open revealing a shortcut through the mountain. No form of magic or otherwise can lead through or get around this door without speaking the magic word due to an ancient magical barrier.
27
28
29
Sights: An enormous high relief of six dwarven warriors cut from a cliff pointing the way along, commemorating their epic journey.
30
Sights: Razorvine. AC 11, HP 25, immunity to bludgeon, pierce, psychic. On contact, DC 10 Dex save or take 1d10 slashing damage.
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
Sights: An enormous high relief of six dwarven warriors cut from a cliff pointing the way along, commemorating their epic journey.
33
Sights: All that remains of an ancient fortress, the remarkably well constructed staircase rises for 3 stories out of the ground at the end of an ancient road, and then just abruptly stops.
34
35
Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.
36

39
Sights: Strong gravity. Jump distance and carrying capacity are halved, and fall damage is doubled.
40
Sights: A talking dog has decided to follow the party and wants to make them happy.
41
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.
42
Sights: A seemingly average looking berry bush that happens to grow small jewels instead of berries. If one where to try and consume one of the jewels picked off of the bush within 24hrs, that person gains a temporary magical effect or bonus, otherwise it’s a normal jewel.
43
44
Sights: In the middle of a copse in a strange swamp lies a smooth altar made of red stone, with strange carvings of trees and water all around its base. Upon touching the altar, you will hear a voice in your mind ‘sacrifice”, and you will feel a strange primal urge to sacrifice a creature on top of it.
45
46
Sights: Royal customs agents have set up a checkpoint to search travellers for fruit from a neighbouring kingdom, following reports that some shipments have been infested with the eggs of dangerous species of exotic spider.

51
52
Sights: A cave with a chest that says, ‘if you take something, leave something.’ It’s unlocked and has several trinkets inside.
53
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.
54
55
Sights: A seemingly normal well on the top of a hill. Anything that is placed into it is immediately tossed out of it.
56
Sights: Your players pass a soothsayer and see an Omen. He offers reward for everyone who gives a second opinion.

(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).

Some say the teeth are all that remains from some colossal dragon skeleton, others think the stones were placed there by a dragon cult, or as a sign from Bahamut.
66
Sights: A large whale skeleton surrounded by petunias. The whale is miles away from the sea and the petunias aren’t native to this location.
67
68
69
Sights: A small but clearly once-bustling town lays abandoned inside of a titan’s skull. The skull is half buried in the sand; its eye sockets and mouth aim up at an angle. Walking through its mouth is the only way to enter the town. The skull looks to be that of an enormous version of whatever scariest creature lives in that area. It provides ample shade during most of the day.
70
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.
71
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.
72
73
74
Sights: A bizarre building with a strange mushroom-shaped metal lattice on top. It was the lab of a researcher studying non-magical electricity who died from electrocution.
75
76
Sights: Battlefield where lingering fog occasionally assumes humanoid forms.
