774	As the PC travel down a road, they pass a military camp. Morale in the camp is high, and the men are boisterous and relaxed. The PCs are treated in a friendly though detached manner as they pass.
775	As the PCs enjoy their lunch on the roadside, they hear ticking from the nearby bush. Sitting on a rock behind a bush is a clock that reads the correct time. However, at the twelve-o-clock position, at midnight, the words "The End of the World" are engraved into the face.

798	At first the bard you met along the road was quite entertaining, but by now you've heard his entire repertoire a number of times. Why won't he take the hint and be on his way?
799	At least three days from anywhere, your party finds a huddle of colorful tents and wagons, with gypsies about them, observing your approach in an appraising fashion.
800	At the end of a long day's ride, the party looks forward to the comforts and familiarity of the Embridge Inn. But as they round the bend, they see the courtyard gate ajar and even more ominously, Kendrick the duty footman nowhere in sight.

830	Elemental storms churn ceaselessly around the battle-scared ruin of an ancient shrine.
831	Every sign on the road has been defaced with the mark of a local brigand.
832	Eyes appear in the forest canopy above.
833	Eying you warily, another party of adventurers allows you wide berth as they try to make their way around you.
834	Five cowled monks on a pilgrimage kneel in the middle of the road, praying softly.
835	Flies are buzzing around a shoe containing a foot in front of you.
836	Flies buzz around the party as the heat of the day becomes unbearable.
837	Flowers by the roadside turn their heads to follow the party, and they're getting larger.
838	Flowing magma is not a threat at this distance. Still, the pungent scent in the air can only worsen if you continue on this path.
839	Fog across the road hides a sudden drop into a chasm.
840	Fog reduces visibility on the road, making progress riskier.
841	Fool's gold sparkles in the dirt.
842	Footprints filled with burning flames cross your path. Fire giant?
843	For 50 slow miles, the party climbs uphill under the relentless sun that chaps ground and lips alike.
844	For a moment in the night, something huge blocks the moon from sight, and then it's gone again.
845	For as far as you can see, the road has been pounded into a nearly impassable, mucky mess. You may navigate it at much reduced speed, or risk an adjacent murk of a wood for a chance at quicker passage.
846	Four children chase a pig.
847	Four days of rain and even your oiled tarps are starting to fail. This must be a supernatural or magical storm? Are you getting closer to the source to father away from the trouble?
848	Four drunken sailors stagger down the road, singing bawdy songs and holding on to wenches. The girls look at you with grins.
849	Four goblins clad in loin cloths burst out of the bushes and accost the party with piteous cries. They beg the party to rescue them from pursuing slavers. Seconds later the party hears creatures fast approaching.
850	Four knights canter by on light horses, trailed by their squires leading the heavy horses and pack animals.
851	From a hill overlooking a narrow, winding road, the PCs glimpse two wagons racing toward each other.
852	From a low-hanging branch, a panther reaches out and bats at a PC's head.
853	From an old roadside shrine to an unknown god the group hears crying. A naked newborn baby lies upon the altar in a beam of sunlight, with no sign of anyone else about.
854	From around the corner a harried man runs towards the party. Chasing him is an angry woman brandishing an ornate wooden rolling pin.
855	From the bushes you hear the soft sobbing of a small child.
856	Ghouls and zombies emerge from the shadows of the roadside woods. Instead of attacking, the entities wail mysterious warnings to leave the road.
857	Giant birds fly off from a dead, thunderstroke tree.
858	Gnomes decide to test a new contraption near your camp. It's not such a surprise on this side of the world, but this early in the morning? Time to put a crossbow bolt in a gnome's rear side.
859	Gnomes hold a yard sale.
860	Golden eyes follow the party in the distance and a howl is let loose as either a warning or a beckoning.
861	Gravity seems to have been defied when you come across an upside down bridge. Is it just an optical illusion, did the builders read the plan upside down or is there more to this than first appears?
862	Gray churning clouds part to admit a shaft of brilliant light, transfixing you party upon the road.
863	Guards approach and ask what business you have at the bridge they guard.
864	Guys, I nearly stepped on this miniscule caravan that looks just like ours....
865	Gypsies have set up a camp at the crossroads.
866	Hairs rise on the back of a character's neck. It feels as if someone is watching them. Then they hear a whispered message. (For reference, the PC is on the receiving end of a Scry and Message cast through a Scry.)
867	He's Flimme, I'm Flamme, and have we got a deal for you!
868	Heard before it is seen, a crying child sits alone in the middle of the road.
869	Heavy foot thuds and sonorous rumblings resolve into the deep-throated hunting song of a giant, drawing nearer, prowling the nearby woods.
870	Hidden behind some bushes is a shrine dedicated to an unknown deity. It looks ominous.
871	High crops on your left and right rustle slightly as you approach.
872	High level clergy rides by in a secure carriage, escorted by four heavily armed guards.
873	Horns blow in the distance.
874	How did these get here? Ladies clothing and under clothing are strewn in the bushes along the road.
875	Human footprints head off in one direction, blood with drag marks go in another direction.
876	Humanoid statue (flesh to stone).
877	In a mountain pass, someone has built a high wall across the path the party was following, forcing them instead into the mouth of a nearby cave.
878	In a night passage through the woods, your party's scout stops everyone, motioning for silence. As everyone becomes still, whispers come from among the trees on either side, the words indistinct.
879	In a passage tightly walled with tall cliff faces, some of the cobblestones are blackened. Contact with these stones leaves scorches and burns on any exposed limbs. They seem to be increasing in number as the road progresses.
880	In a shallow ravine parallel to the road, you see a large number of broken carts, wagon wheels and axles. The road subtly narrows at the same time.
881	In a slight depression in the road, the party hears a sudden rushing noise, and looks up to see a seven foot high flash flood bearing down upon them.
882	In an area of volcanic springs, clouds of venting steam and jets of boiling sulfurous water burst from the ground.
883	In an arid tundra plain, a wooden sign juts out of the ground alongside a faint path. A crust of ice and snow hides the sign's markings.
884	In an overgrown clearing on the road's edge the party can see the ruins of an abandoned guard tower.
885	In dense wilderness where only the road is passable, the group finds the trail covered in increasingly thick slime. The PCs eventually find themselves stuck behind an enormous and slow-moving snail.
886	In error, a company of knights on a quest hunts down the PCs for a terrible crime. When the knights realize their mistake, they insist the PCs join their noble quest to capture the evil criminals.
887	In need of food and shelter from the elements (or from enemies), the characters come to a ruined tower full of revelling adventurers. But the Rules of the House say no one may enter until they have entertained the rabble with a rousing tale.
888	In the distance you can hear the music and dancing of the local brothel. Home to the most beautiful ogres and bearded dwarf women in the land. Take your pick.
889	In the distance, pillars of flame, smoke and feathers periodically erupt. As you draw closer, a lone wizard makes mystical passes in the direction of another tree.
890	In the morning while breaking camp, the PCs spot a bush that wasn't there before.
891	Intoxicating flowers line the road on either side.
892	It appears travellers here have two choices. The high road (plagued by giants) or the low road (plagued by lizard men).
893	It becomes intensely silent. The effect ends abruptly if one steps beyond a certain area.
894	It begins raining cats and dogs. Literally.
895	It is dark and a commoner stands next to a wagon with a torch, yelling a woman's name and begging her to come back. After a fight over something stupid, like when to camp for the night, she stomped off into the dark woods. The twist: his wife is a visibly obvious monster (like a giantess or centaur).
896	It is known this road leads straight to the next village with no side paths. Nevertheless, the road forks. A well-dressed attendant offers his counsel on which path to take.
897	It is said many gods walk the land as mortals. Could the beautiful being bathing in the stream be one?
898	It started as a milk run, but the young noble you are charged with escorting has developed a bladder infection, and now the need for rest stops has become ridiculously frequent.
899	It's early dawn. Out of a thick fog a tall figure emerges.
900	Jumping cobblestones.
901	Jumping over these puddles would be a far easier a task if the road did not run right through a swampy bog landscape.
902	Just ahead, a huge tree trunk flies across the road and crashes down on the other side. A giant dog chases after.
903	Just off the road ahead, bedrolls surround a bubbling cauldron over a stoked campfire, but there's no one in sight.
904	Knight asks a toll to continue along the road.
905	Kobolds attack a merchant's wagon. Two kobolds attack the door with hatchets. The door blows open and a kobold is thrown out of the wagon. A dwarf appears in the doorway, brandishing a hammer. The dwarven merchant has purchased some of the kobold tribes' eggs, which were stolen from their lair yesterday by an opportunistic rogue. The kobolds have tracked the eggs to the wagon, killing the rogue en route a few miles away.
906	Kobolds burst out of the forest in panic in front of the party. What has them running?
907	Large, strong arms wrap around a tree beside you and rip it from the ground, roots and all.
908	Lepers ring their bells and chant. They approach you: "Please milord, spare some coin?"
909	Local city watch demand aid to find a fugitive from justice.
910	Localized radiation.
911	Localized unseasonable weather confronts the party (for example, snow in the summer).
912	Loud tribal shouts can be heard from about a mile ahead. Must be another local custom you need to adapt to before you make first contact.
913	Many arrowheads pierce the ground, their shafts sticking out at many angles. Closer inspection reveals them to be no common hunting arrow.
914	Many years of spilled blood at a contested crossroads has lent the road itself a dark sentience. Those who camp nearby suffer nightmares and the attacks of evil ghosts
915	Markings of a dangerous tribe line the road.
916	Mid-storm, the party reaches a rushing, swollen river only to find the bridge has been washed away. A bedraggled figure stands in the shelter of the wreckage. He gestures at the PCs with urgency.
917	Mighty bolts of lightning begin striking the ground around the road.
918	Militia stop every wagon and search the contents of every bag and wagon box. You count 20 soldiers in all, each one armed with a pike, sword and shield. These are an elite tactical group who appear good at completing missions.
919	Minor royalty rides by in secure carriage, escorted by four heavily armed guards.
920	Minor royalty rides by on a sedan chair. Then one of its bearers trips on a rock. The noble screams, "Careful, idiots! I nearly dropped my meal." You notice a sealed parchment left behind on the ground.
921	Mmmm, the sweet smell of tarts and pies fill the air. Right in front of you are the cooling pies and sweet treats nicely placed on a raised stone table. No gnomes, halflings or fairies about. Perhaps they would not miss a tart or two.
922	Monstrous mount ridden by a gnome.
923	Murdered travelers litter the road - they begin to animate.
924	Natives accuse the party of sacrilege and desecration, their ancient burial ground disrupted.
925	Near a bend in the road, the group spots two creatures fighting over a tattered cloth. After killing or scattering the creatures, the PCs realize they've stumbled onto three shallow, unmarked, hastily dug graves. Left with only their undergarments, the ravaged corpses leave few clues as to their origin.
926	Near the road a nest of massive red eggs rests snugly under a large bush.
927	Near the road is a mound the size of a grave, obviously of recent excavation, marked at its head by an upright stake.
928	Noble Robin Hood-type outlaws request the party's aid in recovering one of their own captured by an evil overlord.
929	None may pass. A knight bearing a foreign banner stands before the bridge. He makes it clear you will not cross unchallenged.
930	Not long after leaving a village suffering from drought, the party happens upon a blazing forest fire.
931	Now you see what has the vultures circling: a large animal carcass ripped to shreds and strewn about the road.
932	Noxious gas rises from a bog ahead, swallowing up the road.
933	Noxious, bilious green gas covers the road ahead.
934	Off to one side of the road you see a patch of glowing, flowering plants nobody recognizes.
935	Old ring sticks out of the dirt.
936	On a bridge, the PCs hear the roar of water much louder than the river they cross. Then the river level drops. Sounds of combat upstream reach the PCs' ears. At the battle site, mercenaries are trying to capture a water elemental. The elemental is good-aligned and will appeal to the party for help. The mercenaries, if aided, will not split their bounty from the wizard who hired them. The elemental, if rescued, will reward the party with random treasures from the river bottom, but the PCs acquire the enmity of the wizard who posted the bounty.
937	On a desert trail, an oasis appears with several recently-dead animals lying around the water hole.
938	On a forgotten mountain path below a run-down keep, a squad of elderly soldiers in tattered armour challenges the group. They still loyally hold their position for a war that ended decades ago.
939	On a large road, a ship on wheels manned by eccentric road-pirates assaults the party.
940	On a wooded trail, just around a turn in the road, a rope has been strung between two trees high enough to catch a mounted rider. A horse, still saddled, grazes nearby and there's blood smeared on a nearby tree.
941	On an icy slope, someone has poured water down the trail turning it into a nearfrictionless slide into a gulch/chasm/pit/cavern.
942	On the inside corner in the road is a campsite with people.
943	On the inside corner in the road is a deserted campsite with a fire.
944	On the road ahead is an accident scene, with injured people and ruined vehicles.
945	On the side of the road an old man and woman yell at each other about who forgot to pack lunch.
946	On the side of the road are dead animals in various stages of decay. You notice a deathly silence around you as your approach the swollen, rotten corpses.
947	On the side of the road sits a farmer. In his hands is a shredded blue dress, the size of a child and he clutches it to his chest, sobbing. Behind him is the smoldering ruins of a farmhouse.
948	One of the PCs spots a key. What's it for?
949	Orcs gather twigs and berries along the road with a clear, non-hostile purpose. Will the PCs attack just because they are orcs?
950	Outside the entrance to a silver mine, a group of protesters wave signs and shout racial slurs about dwarves stealing human jobs. As you watch, a group of dwarves entering the mine is set upon by some of the protestors.
951	Overcast day, fog blanketed ground. A moneylender cries in his wagon and the local farmers weep from the famine. This is a bleak and dreary place.
952	Part of the road turns to quicksand and pitches the party to the bottom of a dungeon before sealing up over top of them. The mad laughter of their most hated enemy echoes magically in their ears.
953	Partial eclipse of the sun.
954	Partway through a tunnel, a strange glowing fungus infests the walls and ceiling. As you pass beneath it, something drips down and acid starts to eat away at your skin.
955	PCs discover a fresh grave marked with a helmet resting upon a sword thrust into the earth.
956	PCs encounter the camp of a woman, her hen-pecked husband and their children.
957	PCs find a mysterious book on the side of the road.
958	People dressed in white togas dance in a circle, chanting something happy.
959	Perfectly positioned in the middle of the road lies a dead body.
960	Picked mushrooms lay on stump to dry.
961	Pieces of a splintered wagon litter the path.
962	Pilgrims of differing faiths and races brawl.
963	Pilgrims who have just been denied entry to the holy of holies due to lack of proper sacrifice find the party suitable candidates.
964	Pillars of flame and smoke manifest on either side of the road. As the party draws closer, they see two wizards hurling spells and epithets at one another.
965	Poles with impaled rotting heads line the sides of the road.
966	Prisoner's Road parallels the river. Old prison cages, iron maidens and hanging cages stand along the side of the road for several miles. Some are empty, while others contain the remains of the once living.
967	Psst, do you want to buy a crystal ball that really works? It's cheap! says a shady character while sneaking up on the PCs. (The price is cheap, and you might even lead the PCs to believe the ball works when they try to use it for petty things, but it is unreliable, maybe even cursed. And the big problem is that one or more groups of NPCs badly want this crystal ball.)
968	Rains have turned a segment of the road into mud. Pack animals and steeds can wade in it, but wagons may well get stuck.
969	Ravagers assault a merchant's caravan.
970	Recent signs of a fierce battle mark the road and the land around, but strangely there are no bodies, broken weapons or any other materials within sight.
971	Recently assaulted merchant's caravan with just one survivor.
972	Refugees flee a plague litter coming down the road.
973	Refugees fleeing from the town or inn or settlement the PCs are trying to travel to stream back along the road.
974	Religious icons mark where locals died in an accident - one of them is defaced.
975	Road passes under a strange stone arch.
976	Rock salt juts up over the landscape.
977	Rock slide reveals cave entrance.
978	Ruins of an airship crashed on the road impede travelers.
979	Ruins of an ancient gate have fallen, blocking the road.
980	Said the farmer to the party: "The town's down the road a ways, but whatever you do, when the road forks, don't go left, there be trolls under them bridges."
981	Scattered coins from a land you don't recognize shine inside the torn remains of a pouch.
982	Screams of pain come from a covered wagon on the road's shoulder.
983	See it? says the scout. "You must stand just so." Assuming the position, you can see what the scout sees - an odd portal showing through to some blasted landscape, floating in the air alongside the road, visible only from this one place.
984	Several beautiful drunk women stumble out of the bush and mistake the PCs for wealthy merchants.
985	Several chariots blow by chasing a large wild boar. Men scream, "In the name of the Prince!"
986	Several foreign knights practice at the tilts.
987	Several girls wash in a nearby river. A stern matron gives the PCs the evil eye.
988	Several knights practice jousting.
989	Several men fight ahead. Some are retreating traders and their guards taking the front, whilst the others are bandits moving to flank the group.
990	Several sets of footprints are still visible from what appears to be a struggle from the night before.
991	Several signs warn of the contents of a well you can just see atop a hill.
992	Shadow passes across the ground.
993	Sharp rocks have broken off from a cliff and tumbled onto the open road.
994	Shopping list for potions lies on the ground.
995	Sickly green foam flows down a nearby hillside and over the road, dissolving everything organic in its path.
996	Signs of a fierce skirmish mark a lonely road. Arrows stick out of trees, javelins jut from the ground, bodies with symbols sewn into their cloaks lie in disarray.
997	Sink hole reveals underground tunnels.
998	Small wain, with a farmer and a donkey with dislocated knee.
999	Smoke rises in the distance. It might be a raid, slash and burn agriculturists, a forest fire or an army encampment.
1000	Smoke starts billowing up from just over the next hill.
1001	Snowfall during the night covered the road and the landmarks. More snow is coming still. Not only is advancing difficult, but where is the road?
1002	So treacherous is the road, one of your mounts has thrown a shoe that cannot be found. There was no smith in the village you left behind.
1003	Some sort of carnival blocks the road. The carnival seems festive, but the details are all wrong. As the party draws near, a threatening demon manifests before them and politely suggests a substantial detour as the demon ritual simply cannot be disturbed.
1004	Someone does not want guests. Three skulls impaled upon sticks block a side trail that branches off the road.
1005	Someone has scattered caltrops across the road.
1006	Someone plays pipes up ahead.
1007	Someone wants to steal from the party to give to the poor.
1008	Something forgotten. At camp, a member of your party has rummaged through his packs numerous times in a mounting panic, but the last time he saw the mystic one-of-a-kind heirloom, you were at an inn three days back.
1009	Something on the wayside catches your eye. Further inspection reveals an overgrown, forgotten little temple dedicated to a deity of nature. You see small vines bearing red grapes hanging in the open arch leading inside.
1010	Something stirs below a deep puddles' surface.
1011	Spirits lift at the sight of a rainbow that seems to start from a particularly beautiful part of forest only a few miles off.
1012	Strange balls of light surround you, causing momentary confusion.
1013	Strange flashes and explosions in a nearby gully: are they the result of a spell battle or a natural phenomenon?
1014	Strange noises come from the ground.
1015	Strange tracks lead off the road.
1016	Stray dogs attack a sheep.
1017	Substantial drag marks on the road lead into the nearby verdant foliage.
1018	Swinging from tree to tree, a mischievous band of monkeys besieges the party and try to seize a number of shiny objects.
1019	Tearful villagers plead with travellers to save their village from a ravaging beast.
1020	The air suddenly becomes cold or hot.
1021	The angry, maniacal giant appears to love fire - and hate horses.
1022	The blizzard blinds the party and covers the road sign that marks the correct direction.
1023	The bridge behind you collapses. There's no way back to safety.
1024	The bridge is guarded by shady-looking characters who claim to be "toll collectors."
1025	The bridge just ahead is washed out.
1026	The bridge over the ravine seems to be out. Nearby a huge fallen tree stretches across the expanse, promising a precarious crossing.
1027	The broken hull of a lost ship beckons absurdly from the forest edge.
1028	The brush on one side of the road breaks open as a great antlered buck leaps forth, clearing the path without ever treading upon it, and disappears on the other side. Close after, a hunter appears in pursuit, breathless and arrow nocked.
1029	The canyon is steep, craggy and loud. The crash of angry rapids echo below. There are no visible routes to the bottom.
1030	The carriage is overturned and all the passengers are dead. Or are they undead?
1031	The cemetery below the road is haunted by the tortured spirits of the murdered. On the full moon they rise up as skeletal aspirations and wraiths and terrorize travellers, pulling them into the catacombs below.
1032	The characters are presented with an alternate route to their destination. Which is safer or faster? And which is more comfortable and easier to travel? What's the cost for either route? How do the PCs get this information? Can they trust the source?
1033	The circuit judge lies passed out on the road.
1034	The dark forest the road travels through contains magical statues that animate and attack when approached.
1035	The dark forest the road travels through is home to giant spiders that drop onto the party.
1036	The day has been calm. Suddenly a strong gust of wind assails your party, holding steady for a long beat, followed by more calm.
1037	The den of goblinoids is shunned by most travelers, but a truce surrounds it as humans can't destroy it, nor can the goblins destroy the human settlement. Trading and socializing are possible, though dangerous. The PCs stumble into one of these negotiations as it turns hostile. If the PCs throw in with the humans, the goblins will run away. Then the human settlement blames the PCs for bringing the might of the goblins down on the area.
1038	The distant ring of steel disturbs your day's hunt.
1039	The drizzle that has spattered its misery upon the party for hours graduates into a full-out storm, replete with lightning, crashing thunder and hailstones the size of plover's eggs.
1040	The end of a rainbow shimmers around an old tree stump.
1041	The falling rain grows thicker. Through the gloom, metal glimmers as a body of troops approach.
1042	The ferry boat on the far side of the river appears untended. On this side, the rope that guides the ferry is attached to a massive pulley, ready to ratchet back across the river.
1043	The ferry for the river crossing ahead is missing and there are signs of a struggle on the bank.
1044	The ferry needed to cross the river is available, but the ferryman is hopelessly drunk.
1045	The ferry needed to cross the river is damaged, and the ferryman needs help and materials to repair it.
1046	The field is filled with enormous and mishappen plants that smell faintly ofrotting flesh.
1047	The flowers in the field ahead grow in rings of colors.
1048	The forest ahead sways as if caught in a violent windstorm, but the party feels no wind.
1049	The gale is of such strength that going against it is difficult, and the flying road dust gets everywhere. Steeds abhor it as it gets in the eyes. Visibility is low and ranged combat upwind near-impossible.
1050	The garrison of a toll bridge has been slaughtered and replaced by bandits or monsters.
1051	The garrison of a toll bridge has been slaughtered and the PCs are accused of doing it.
1052	The ground grows hot and foul steam rises from new-formed cracks in the roadway.
1053	The ground rumbles as the PCs move through a mountain pass. It's an earthquake! The characters can escape with minor injuries from bouncing rocks, but just around the bend, a massive sinkhole has swallowed the entire path.
1054	The group arrives late at night at a tiny village straddling the road. They secure accommodation and food from the friendly locals and fall asleep. In the morning the village is empty and ruined, as if abandoned years ago.
1055	The group comes across a three-way traffic jam at a fork in the road, and three arguing wagon masters refusing to give way.
1056	The group comes to a wilderness trading post on the trail. The cantankerous oldtimer who runs it offers a bounty for scalps.
1057	The group comes upon the scene of a recent grisly carriage accident, or witnesses it ahead of them on the road.
1058	The group is followed from the last town by a band of children who want to go on adventures with them.
1059	The group leaves a town they've helped/saved/rescued and head off down the road. Just out of town the grateful locals jump out and surprise them with an unexpected picnic celebration.
1060	The group meet an uncannily similar party of adventurers going the opposite way.
1061	The group passes an old farmer and his nag heading toward the same town the PCs are heading toward. He gives them a wave and a gap-toothed smile. A little while later they pass him again. And then again....
1062	The group sees one group routing another leaving dying and dead behind.
1063	The inn the PCs were travelling to has been completely destroyed.
1064	The innkeeper from a day's journey back was insistent this road only led to the next village. Where then might this unmentioned fork lead? More importantly, which is the way to the next village?
1065	The King has enacted a toll bridge. Several peasants were unaware, and cannot afford the toll. They accost the PCs demanding then begging for change.
1066	The King's men are repairing the road for the next 5 miles.
1067	The King's messenger needs a fresh horse.
1068	The leading PC is attacked by a mammoth shark-like creature as it erupts from beneath the surface of the road.
1069	The leafy bush to the left of the path begins to glow an iridescent hue.
1070	The locals use two or more names interchangeably for certain roads, but the maps or directions the PCs were given just use one.
1071	The lone stone bridge across the chasm has long since collapsed. There is a rope bridge close-by in its place, though it too has seen better days. Going around the chasm will take a couple days more.
1072	The long mountain road leads to a tunnel. As it progresses deeper into the rock, it grows wider and develops a flagstone surface. At length, it emerges unexpectedly into an underground city.
1073	The Mad Mage, a formerly brilliant wizard, now pesters the party with the incoherent rants of a man driven mad by a botched invisibility spell.
1074	The meadows to either side of this road are filled with scented flowers. If a PC stoops to pluck one, it puffs tiny seedlings into his face.
1075	The Mother Superior from a roadside nunnery looks missing novitiates.
1076	The motionless figures blocking the road are a goblin war party turned to stone.
1077	The muffled cries of a kitten draw your attention to the side of the road. A burlap sack with something wiggling inside it lies in the brush. (Upon opening the bag flip a coin|Kitten Sack|Heads (Normal kitten)|Tails (Dead Cat). Heads: it's a normal kitten - a bit hungry but otherwise unharmed. Tails: it's a dead cat. The cat died of hunger several days ago. If the PCs just close the bag after finding the dead cat, it will start wiggling and crying again. Any time the bag is opened, flip a coin|Kitten Sack|Heads (Normal kitten)|Tails (Dead Cat) again. The bag will always have either a dead or alive cat inside it, until you take the cat out, in which case, it's just a burlap sack.)
1078	The muted roar of falling water in the distance hints of a waterfall up ahead.
1079	The new slate road is surprisingly smooth and limits traction.
1080	The next 100 yards of road are covered with newly grown grass.
1081	The normally busy road is strangely empty.
1082	The party arrives at a large inn at a major crossroads. The inn is completely deserted, and the only sign of life is a dagger stuck point-down in the middle of a table off to the side of the main room.
1083	The party catches up to a slender young woman disguised as a boy travelling along the road.
1084	The party comes across the wreckage of a traveling puppetry troupe that was attacked by bandits.

1090	The party finds a grouping of shallow caves laid out in a precise geometric pattern.
1091	The party finds a lake of molten lava.
1092	The party finds a number of bodies, hastily buried by the side of the road and uncovered by recent storms. How do they give these people peace? Or should they: perhaps these are the bandits killed by earlier adventurers, or the adventurers killed by bandits.
1093	The party finds a sack lying in the road with no one else around.
1094	The party finds an abandoned cart and pony, in good condition and with some supplies, near a clear trail that leads to a cave. A small construct guards the cave, and inside the cave are the remains of a wizard, scholar or priest, along with the bodies of two men at arms and several small creatures.
1095	The party finds dozens of poor souls buried up to their necks in the road. So dense are these heads crowded together that should the party attempt to pass through, the heads assault their ankles and feet with bites.
1096	The party happens upon a simple steel ring that causes the wearer to switch to the opposite alignment.
1097	The party hears a long stream of invectives from further up the road. Then they spot a head upon the road - a person still alive, buried up to his neck.
1098	The party interrupts a burial at a crossroads.
1099	The party is chased from the road by local tribals, herded towards a large nearby cave with a prominent, protruding entrance, sporting two large stalagmites, a damp, spongy floor, and a rather foul, steamy atmosphere.
1100	The party is startled by a raven flying overhead that caws out one PC's name.
1101	The party passes through a sudden fog that smells sweetly of rosewater. Not long after, voices, animal growls and loud crashes emanate from the mist from all directions.
1102	The party runs over a shepherd's goat. The shepherd demands money equivalent to three or four times the goat's value. Then, as things settle down, another shepherd comes up and displays his injured goat. Guards then stop and take interest.
1103	The party see a mass of crows circling above a known safe haven/tavern/camping spot that lies just ahead, and the smell of smoke and roast meat hangs in the air.
1104	The party spots a gaunt and disheveled zombie werewolf eating its prey.
1105	The party spots several dragons, griffons and rocs flying over the adjacent mountain range. One of the dragons veers towards the party and commences a slow and purposeful descent.
1106	The party starts finding neatly severed body parts discarded on the road. An ear, then a finger, then a tongue.
1107	The party takes down a stag for venison, but the stag is protected. It is one of the deer kept by a group of druids and their worshipers, who begin to hunt down the party with plans for dealing with them.
1108	The party walks through a patch of poisonous ivy.
1109	The path ahead changes from dirt to feathers marched down into the soil then to a thick blanket of feathers.
1110	The path ahead is shrouded in darkness.
1111	The paths through the snowy mountains constantly change due to harsh winter weather.
1112	The patron you met at the last inn enticed you down this trail with the promise of fortune and glory. Now he regales you with a story of a deceased relative who met his demise on this road in circumstances of foul, freezing weather. As he goes deeper into his tale, the winds rise and the snow begins to fall.
1113	The PC in front falls into a deep pit, then a bunch of savages attack from all sides.
1114	The PCs are caught by an earthquake, and a newborn chasm blocks their path.
1115	The PCs chance on a farmhouse on fire.
1116	The PCs come across pit traps, tripwires and arrow traps. They traps are from bandits that have moved on to a new ambush point. The idea is to put the PCs on edge and expecting an ambush that never comes.
1117	The PCs come across the scene of a massacre. A party of bullywugs lies slaughtered. The party hears crying and can find a young bullywug child. "My parents, dead," she croaks. "Killed by human soldiers. Help me get back to my tribe," she begs.
1118	The PCs come to a rough and crumbly road. The ground was disturbed recently by a bulette and the PCs may fall into an empty tunnel, an occupied tunnel (by the bulette or something taking advantage of the tunnel), or just find the road travel difficult.
1119	The PCs come to an unmarked and unfamiliar crossroads. Which is the right way to go? Where do the other three paths lead?
1120	The PCs come upon a sobbing woman holding a teenage boy who looks to have been severely beaten. She explains her youngest son was attacked by a gang. Of more immediate danger is her oldest son who has gone off to exact revenge.
1121	The PCs encounter a cattle stampede. The stampede is nearby but no threat. The PCs are blamed for causing the stampede by the chasing cowboys.
1122	The PCs encounter a cattle stampede. The stampede is nearby but no threat. What caused the stampede?
1123	The PCs encounter a large flock of sheep and its shepherd. The shepherd is a rogue looking to pick up a few extra coppers (silvers or gold too!) from the PCs as they are distracted by the sheep.
1124	The PCs encounter a military group in a wrathful mood. Soldiers were recently assassinated, and the PCs are treated with extreme suspicion.
1125	The PCs encounter the corpse of a rare monster.
1126	The PCs find a dead body on the side of the road. Trapped inside the corpse is a demon looking for a new host. And the PCs are looking pretty good....
1127	The PCs find a voodoo doll the looks like someone they know.
1128	The PCs find the tavern they planned to stay at is under attack by an armed group of people in uniforms.
1129	The PCs happen upon a shimmering pool. A knowledgeable PC might know the legend that says the pool is said to show an individual exactly where he or she shall be in two years time.
1130	The PCs have many nights to endure as they travel on the road. The dark dreams of a single character are the first sign the PCs are under an indirect attack.
1131	The PCs mysteriously repeat a piece of road they already passed, though the route has been dead straight to this point. The road even includes their footprints.
1132	The PCs pass a sullen military group tending wounded on the roadside. The PCs are treated with disinterest and offers of help are seen with suspicion.
1133	The PCs see a group of travelers surrounded and attacked by lesser monsters. Pack animals and steeds lost, the survivors have taken refuge on a large rock.
1134	The PCs see an illusion of a ten mile deep chasm stretching to the horizon.
1135	The PCs spot a person in the distance who disappears.
1136	The PCs spot a small cave up a nearby hill. Is it a shelter or a lair?
1137	The PCs spot a sword in a stone.
1138	The PCs stumble into an ambush of bandits, but the ambush was intended for someone else (e.g., a messenger or merchants that will come along soon).
1139	The PCs travel though an area suffering from a heat wave. The mid-day sun is exhausting and takes its toll on the characters.
1140	The PCs wake up to find their campsite has been ransacked. None of their normal gear is missing but their items are strewn everywhere (perhaps an important quest item is missing). A search reveals tiny fey footprints all over the campsite, and fairy laughter is heard nearby. This side quest would involve no combat, but would be rife with traps and dangerous illusions that would cover deadly traps.
1141	The PCs witness the assassination of a member of a parade.
1142	The remains of a house stand beside the road. The walls are crumbling, but the fire place looks serviceable.
1143	The remains of a traveling circus.
1144	The remains of an ambush litter the road, but the wounded courier struggles to the last to deliver his message.
1145	The remains of caravan hide a traumatized child whose family was captured by humanoid monsters.
1146	The road ahead forks in six directions.
1147	The road ahead narrows as the surrounding landscape turns into marsh.
1148	The road becomes a crumbling spiral staircase that scales a cliff.
1149	The road before you becomes paved with smooth, shiny cobblestones. A tremor runs the length of the road and too late you realize what you mistook for cobblestones are actually the scales of a giant serpent.
1150	The road breaks out of the dense forest into a clearing. You see a large coach house with outbuildings. Smoke rises from the chimney and you hear hearty drinking songs within.
1151	The road closed due to slime migration.
1152	The road closed due to snow, regardless of the season.
1153	The road crests a hill, and spread out before the group is a stunning, sweeping vista of the land beyond. A painter sits nearby, capturing the scene, and asks the group to pose for his foreground.
1154	The road crosses a deep ravine via a bridge made of slightly-melted ice.
1155	The road crosses a deep ravine via a rickety old rope bridge.
1156	The road crosses a region of arid desert. Yet, on the hazy sandblasted horizon you see a solitary green tree. You rub your eyes for fear of mirage, but mirage or not, you still see the tree as green as ever.
1157	The road cuts through a mountainside by means of a tunnel. Partway through, an underground river has broken through to cut across the path, its strong current challenging your progress with roaring rapids in the darkness.
1158	The road descends into a valley of pastoral beauty.
1159	The road disappears into a massive cave that goes deep underground.
1160	The road ends with...nothingness. What happened here?
1161	The road enters impenetrable wilderness and the only means of continuing on is via a canal.
1162	The road forks around a monolith, statue or war memorial. The stone has been recently daubed with occult symbols in fresh blood.
1163	The road forks at a small sign. To the left the sign reads, "Certain Death Awaits." To the right the sign reads, "A Great Treasure Awaits."
1164	The road goes through a canyon bog filled with toxic, flammable gas.
1165	The road has been destroyed by war.

1168	The road is blocked by a village with plague markers outside it.
1169	The road is blocked by guards searching for violent criminals. Do the PCs look like the escaped convicts?
1170	The road is closed for construction.
1171	The road is crossed by many animal tracks, as if a herd of beasts all crossed at the same time.
1172	The road is filled with giant potholes. Sounds of scratching and scuffling come from one of the pits.
1173	The road is in terrible condition after sabotage or bombardment.
1174	The road is lined with criminals chained to stocks, with only hands and heads poking through. A visible punishment for wrongdoers. Many of the criminals shout they are innocent. Is this land corrupt or are the laws justly doled out here?
1175	The road is lined with snakes sleeping in the sun.
1176	The road is littered with fallen leaves that cover a new pit trap.
1177	The road is littered with mines or bear traps.
1178	The road is packed with traffic, all of which is going the opposite direction of the PCs.
1179	The road is riddled with pockets of quicksand.
1180	The road is rigged with an obvious and clumsily/hastily made trap. The PCs can hear drunken giggling from the undergrowth.
1181	The road leads through a dense forest. The tranquility is broken by the blasting of an orc warhorn, followed by about 50 orcs crossing the road.
1182	The road leads through a tunnel. Halfway through, the party finds a major wall and roof collapse revealing a large passage running adjacent to the road, with flickering lights visible further in.
1183	The road leads you to an icy arch traversing a deep chasm whose vertical faces dive down so far below you cannot see where they converge. The slick surface and stiff wind present a tricky challenge to your footing.
1184	The road loops back on itself. Do the PCs notice?
1185	The road narrows to a small, rickety bridge.
1186	The road narrows to one lane and an ox-pulled wagon is moving slowly ahead.
1187	The road passes through a blasted heath.
1188	The road passes through a ruined, burned-out town that seems abandoned.
1189	The road passes through an abandoned village.
1190	The road quickly becomes narrow and overgrown with thorny plants that are poisonous.
1191	The road reaches a river. The ferry is on the far side, but no one is around.
1192	The road runs between two poppy fields. They are blooming, releasing clouds of pollen into the air.
1193	The road starts to get muddy. Soon the mud is two feet deep. Water in the ditches alongside starts to bubble.
1194	The road stops at the jagged hole of a collapsed mine shaft. Something glints in the shadows.
1195	The road suddenly ends in a cave.
1196	The road suddenly ends. Nothing but wilderness lies beyond.
1197	The road surface starts to buck and writhe, trying to throw the group off. Is it an earthquake or a territorial elemental?
1198	The road takes a turn around a hill and you are surprised to see two giants sitting lazily on the ground holding enormous crossbows pointed at you.
1199	The road through the forest is closed because the King is hunting and does not want the deer disturbed.
1200	The road turns to cobblestones.
1201	The road widens at the top of a hill into a large, paved plaza covered with stone statues. Two nearby giants ask the group if they'd mind stopping for a while and being a part of their chess game, as they're missing some pieces.
1202	The road you are on is now a ravenous, snake-like creature. It twists and writhes beneath your feet. Its eyes pop open, and the face turns towards you.
1203	The rope bridge across the chasm has been chopped loose and dangles on this side. Did someone fleeing to this side cut the bridge, or is someone trying to trap the PCs?
1204	The routed remnants of a military group beg the PCs for help and assistance.
1205	The royal guards are rounding up all travelers with arms. Must be mustering an army.
1206	The side of the road is lined with mausoleums to long dead mercantile families. Some of them appear to have been broken into and doors hang free on rusted hinges.
1207	The sign ahead reads "Road Work Incomplete".
1208	The sign next to the road has an illustration of a monster and reads "Violent Wild Beast Crossing."
1209	The sky darkens as the trees grow together over the path.
1210	The sky turns green. Then the wind dies down and funnel clouds appear.
1211	The smell of bread baking wafts across the road.
1212	The smell of swine fills your nostrils as you make your way down the valley slope. What wonders will you see when you round the bend?
1213	The snowy road hides a collapsed sinkhole that will deposit the party on a slalom slide down a mountainside, with a course threading through large pointy outcroppings.
1214	The sounds of goblins and trolls enjoying a feast likely of poached elf and BBQ elk.
1215	The source unseen, a rhythmic knocking can be heard far off the side of the road.
1216	The staff of the tavern where the PCs plan to spend the night have been replaced by bandits who now rob and murder unaware travelers.
1217	The steeple of a church blocks the road.
1218	The street is strangely deserted. Not a soul walks the pavements and litter swirls in the breeze. An unmanned cart with squeaky wheels rolls onto the street.
1219	The strong eastern wind shifts to the west, carrying with it a thick smoke that blows around you.
1220	The sun sets in a purple sky, and a passing traveler says it is an omen of _____.
1221	The sunken road is flooded out with blood.
1222	The sunlight at dusk or dawn is delicious and warm, though experienced warriors know it also reduces visibility towards the sun to nil.
1223	The sweltering heat upon this lightly forested road has slowed your progress down to a crawl. A cool breeze from an adjacent wood draws your puzzled gaze to the snow-covered trees and ground therein.
1224	The switchback leading to the mountain pass is washed out, so the party will have to climb the mountain the hard way.
1225	The tavern is a good place to stop for the night as it is the only safe place for miles. Unfortunately, the innkeeper knows this and charges high prices.
1226	The tavern where the PCs plan to spend the night is closed because it was unprofitable and the innkeepers have moved to the next town.
1227	The tavern where the PCs plan to spend the night is closed because the staff have been slaughtered by monsters that still lurk nearby.
1228	The tavern where the PCs plan to spend the night is currently on fire.
1229	The tower ahead topples down on the hillside and showers the road with enormous stones.
1230	The troll demands a ridiculous sum to cross his bridge...or take his place as guardian!
1231	The usually empty road is crowded with traffic.
1232	The waist-high grass hides two dozen dog houses.
1233	The warm rain that never seems to stop threatens the quality of goods carried by the travelers.
1234	The way ahead is suddenly a lot less picturesque as a hail of arrows flies towards your group from nearby rocky outcroppings.
1235	The wilderness is controlled by a dragon. It has a nest not far from the road. The PCs are approached by the dragon because it is interested in learning whatever lore and interesting stories the party can share.
1236	The wilderness is controlled by a dragon. It has a nest not far from the road. The PCs are approached by the dragon because it needs their help.
1237	The wilderness is controlled by a dragon. It has a nest not far from the road. The PCs are threatened by the dragon for a toll for using the dragon's road.
1238	The wind carries a fragrance, hinting at what lies out of sight. Smelly monsters? A large fire? The sweetness of fresh bread?
1239	The wind holds a scrap of paper against a tree. The paper turns out to be a wanted poster offering a hefty sum for one of the PCs. The party has never been near the town offering the reward.
1240	The wizard's tower is a stopover for many. A small town has grown around it as a result.
1241	There is a mysterious flicker ahead, and one member of your party suddenly stops, paralyzed.
1242	There is a sudden earth tremor followed by a mighty roar. A cavern full of terracotta warriors armed with a variety of mundane weapons appears. The warriors seem to be inanimate.
1243	There must be a hundred coins or more leaving a trail off the road.
1244	They're not flowers: they're butterflies!
1245	Thieves snatch a hostage from the party, then demand the recovery of valuables from a nearby ruin for their safe return.
1246	Thousands of arrows rain down from a city wall, but not a single enemy can be seen and you have a view of the entire field.
1247	Thousands of bats stream across the sky as the sun falls from view.
1248	Three animated broadswords weave back and forth in the middle of a steep-sided pass.

1251	Three men dig a pit in the middle of the road, guarded by a huge thug.
1252	Three milk cows have gotten into loco weed and it's time for their milking.
1253	Three types of meat hang on a spit over a campfire in a makeshift camp. You try to convince yourself that it is indeed animal and not humanoid that sits above the open flames.
1254	Three women chase a lone man down the road, beating him with brooms. He wears underclothes and carries his clothes in his hands as he runs.
1255	Three young men work on tipping over an occupied outhouse.
1256	Throwing rocks across the lake was a good way to spend time waiting for comrades. Unfortunately, the lake starts to throw the rocks back. What did you just do?
1257	Thunder and rain befall you just as you pass by an ivy-covered church.
1258	Thunderous noise shakes the mountain path. Giants? Dragons? Blasting?
1259	Traveling off the main road, the PCs feel like they are being followed. Who is hunting them?
1260	Travelling freak show, filled with freaks, secrets, dangers and opportunities.
1261	Travelling through this haunted country at night lands you in the bony clutches of a barrow wight and his retinue.
1262	Trudging through a blizzard, you party begin to hear songs in the howling wind - siren songs which are increasingly difficult to ignore.

1264	Two children chase chickens down the road.
1265	Two dozen townsfolk chase a tarred-and-feathered merchant out of town.
1266	Two dozen townsfolk with torches and pitchforks head off into the woods, shouting about a monster.
1267	Two duelists fight each other, seconds standing close by.
1268	Two groups of pilgrims from rival faiths block the road as they engage in aggressive debate. Each side appeals to the heroes for help.
1269	Two guards stand against a tree at a junction, both sound asleep.
1270	Two horses gallop by your party, dragging a flailing driverless wagon behind.
1271	Two men exchange blows in the distance. Each accuses the other of stealing a family heirloom.
1272	Two noblewoman argue about who is the most beautiful, and they want a PC's opinion.
1273	Two other adventuring groups argue in the middle of the road.
1274	Two people are arguing over the possession of a pig in a canvas bag.
1275	Two people argue over the possession of a goat.
1276	Two precocious children offer to buff shields or dust boots for money. They follow PCs at a distance calling them names if rebuffed.
1277	Two ranks of royal guard form between you and an oncoming procession, allowing the large entourage and perhaps the king himself - difficult to say with all the covered carriages - to pass by.
1278	Two score ragged men and women file by, dirty, eyes cast down, necks chained together in a line, as a slave driver and his men drive them forth to the next city.
1279	Two small children stand all alone beside the road. They are dirty and the youngest one cries easily. They wait for their parents to return. They do not know why their parents left.
1280	Two strumpets (one half-elf and one human girl).
1281	Two wagons going in opposite directions have met on the only passable section of road (the rest of the road was washed away by a previous flood). The road section is now so narrow only one wagon can pass at a time, but neither wagon driver is prepared to back down. The situation is made worse by all the other travelers now stuck behind both wagons. With so many differing opinions and everyone becoming impatient, tempers grow shorter by the minute.
1282	Two young nobles recklessly race carriages along the road, heading straight for you.
1283	Uneasily, you pass a moonlit graveyard far out in the countryside. You travel in silence until a plaintive child's wail pierces the night, coming from among the gloomy tombstones.
1284	Unusually cold though clear weather causes hardship on pack animals, travelers, steeds, wagons.
1285	Unusually verdant and overgrown patch of road, with bandits wrapped up in vines begging to be let free.
1286	Up ahead a wyvern lands. A man in armor and tabard dismounts and faces you.
1287	Up ahead you see a landslide has blocked the road. The large stones and rubble the landslide brought down have made the road impassable, but it has also unearthed something strange.
1288	Up ahead you see a young boy holding a sign and jumping up and down. As you get closer you see the sign reads "Prof. Hardwick's Hall of Wonders." The boy excitedly exclaims this new attraction has just opened and today only admission is a mere 5 coins.
1289	Up ahead you see the bannermen of an opposing country leading soldiers across the land, destroying crops beneath their many marching feet.
1290	Very small kobold/goblin/not-really-threatening humanoid wearing an old carpet as a cape leaps into the path and demands tribute as King of the Road.
1291	Vines cover the road ahead. They look innocent until one wraps a tendril around an ankle.
1292	Volcanic activity sends rivers of lava across the road, threatening to cut the group off in a sea of fire.
1293	Walking towards you barefoot is an old monk. He appears to carry only a water skin and staff. He only speaks a regional language.
1294	Wayward pilgrims stand enthralled on an old church road as two epic bards have a musical duel.
1295	We forget what life was like when roads were privatized. The adventurers would probably prefer fighting trolls to the endless tolls demanded by every petty kingdom, noble, and landowner.
1296	Weird Joe, a halfling who owns a floating inn, attempts to sell the PCs fire wine, which is literally 99% alcohol on fire.
1297	What seems like a typical thunderstorm sweeps over the area. However, as the storm reaches its peak with heavy rains and winds, strange things start to happen. PCs hit with the rain suffer temporary polymorph effects, and trees struck by lightning become sentient or turn into other objects or living things.
1298	What was once the barracks of guardsmen overlooking the bridge is now in shambles. It looks like the destruction is recent as smoke rises from the ruins. You hear shuffling in the remains.
1299	What's that? A pale and dead body bobs up and down in the nearby river. Perhaps an aquatic predator killed and stashed it underwater for future meals, and it has floated up.
1300	When at the bottom of a steep sloping road, there is a rumble and a large boulder comes rushing toward the PCs. When the rock finally stops, the group spots old bloodstains and a kill-score carved into the side.
1301	When the ancient hermit hunkered down by the roadside sees the party, he jumps up and yells, "The prophecy, the prophecy, it is fulfilled!" He then runs into the corn field behind him.
1302	Where the road goes down and then up, marsh lands have taken the road over. What remains is the road is soft and sticky, with disease a risk too.
1303	While on the road the PCs come across a traveling merchant going the same way. The merchant asks if he can travel with them to at least the next village. During the night the merchant will attempt to steal from each PC. In the morning, if no one notices the theft, he will attempt to leave.
1304	While on the road the PCs come across a traveling merchant. The merchant offers a free sample of his tincture, which he claims does everything from curing warts to making you stronger and smarter.
1305	While resting at a small pond off the road, a flock of white geese land in the water. Soon afterward a lone goose lands nearby. This goose is a golden brown color and its feathers appear to shine in the sunlight.
1306	While the PCs encamp, a huge swath of ants approaches and begins to take the PCs' provisions.
1307	While travelling on this road, none of your compasses work.
1308	While you rest alongside the road, a pair of bear cubs wander out playfully towards you, questing for food. Ominous growls sound behind them as the bushes part to reveal the mother, hurtling towards you.
1309	Who eats like this? A small pile of cow, horse or sheep remains lies decomposing next to the road. The remains are mostly legs and heads bitten off by something with HUGE teeth.
1310	Whoo-eeeeh, what is that? A terrible stench fills the air. The PCs must roll below their Constitution score or vomit. Dead bodies, a dead monster, whatever you wish, lie rotting in the bushes.
1311	Wind knocks a beehive out of an overhanging tree.
1312	With a rumble, a rockfall hurtles tons of tumbling stone towards those on the roadway.
1313	Workers block the road demanding an increase in wages.
1314	Workers construct a wall and gate across the road. The party is strongly encouraged by several guard members to pitch in and help.
1315	Workers from a nearby village doing major work on the road now lie dead and the job is half finished.
1316	Workmen replace a wooden bridge with a stone one. The detour is a day or more out of the way. The workers have finished a narrow path of stone, and might be convinced or bribed to allow you to balance your way across the precarious ledge. Watch your step.
1317	Wow, what did that? An enormous pile of steaming fresh feces lies right in the middle of the road. It's a really big pile.
1318	You approach a caravan of camels. It travels in same direction and the leader invites you to escort him as security.
1319	You approach a rickety, swaying bridge.
1320	You approach a washed out bridge on a dry river bed.
1321	You approach gypsy wagons in a circle. At first you hear people talking and children playing. The closer you get, you start to hear whispers. When very close, you are greeted with complete silence and you see no one around.
1322	You are crossing a bridge when, suddenly, from behind one of the bridge's pillars, a man steps out and demands you pay a toll to cross. You ask by what authority does he collect the toll and the man produces a dubious looking bit of vellum with what appears to be the King's seal stamped upon it.
1323	You are moving along a road through heavy forest. The road ahead is blocked by a mass of trees and debris after a tornado tore through the area. A small village is known to be near.
1324	You awake to find everything you own has been removed during the night. Fearing theft, a quick search reveals twelve sets dwarven tracks, one set of unidentified human tracks and, lying in the middle of your campsite, a smoldering pouch of herbs that, when you sniff them, make you feel slightly drowsy.
1325	You awaken from camp surrounded by a parliament of owls. Nature is judging you.
1326	You become aware a bandit demanding a toll is actually alone and has set up a crossbow to fire when he triggers a badly hidden tripwire. He flees with your money, triggering another crossbow trap behind him.
1327	You become very sleepy for no reason.
1328	You can see a small storm up ahead, making its way toward you.
1329	You can't remember hearing the wind bellow like a huge beast before, and the yells of your party are quite lost upon it. Then a massive funnel cloud touches down not one hundred yards before you. Behind it, you spy two more.
1330	You come across a freshly dug shallow grave by the side of the road.
1331	You come across a horse up a tree.
1332	You come across a patch of freshly scorched earth and blackened bushes on one side of the road.
1333	You come across a small shrine dedicated to a holy deity. A small fountain provides you with refreshing, cool water.
1334	You come across the body of a dead dragon, its' enormous form creates an impassable roadblock.
1335	You come across the remains of a battle. Several dead men lay pierced by arrows. Each wears the same uniform bearing arms of a well-liked baron, their ornate scabbards and quivers empty.
1336	You come to a large ravine.
1337	You come to a massive gorge spanned by an intricately woven rope bridge with wooden plank flooring. When you are halfway across, the rope at both ends of the bridge bursts into flame.
1338	You come to a stretch in an iced-over road where cracks form a latticed network across the surface.
1339	You decide to camp not far from the roadside, but while setting up, a ghost rises up and tries to possess you. (If successful, the PC runs off into the night, leading the party to a cave-in that claimed the ghosts' life, hoping the party will complete his long forgotten quest and allow his spirit to rest. If the possession fails, he beckons the party to follow. If they do not, he flies into a rage and attacks.)
1340	You encounter a monk, a monkey, a turtle and a pig, all heading west.
1341	You feel as though the road's cobblestones are speaking in your mind.
1342	You find a large leather bag of gold coins on the side of the road. At the same time, three members of the guard ride up to you.
1343	You find a large leather bag of gold coins on the side of the road. It is tightly knotted and a label bears the arms of the region's lord.
1344	You find a small leather bag. It smells of moisture, and contains a set of keys and a vellum map to the location of a small keep.
1345	You find a small, moss-covered stone with strange weathered patterns in a pouch. It is in the middle of the road and you don't see or hear anyone else around.
1346	You hear a hoarse, rasping scream from the sky, and see a hawk soar overhead before it dives into nearby trees.
1347	You hear haunting music playing in the distance.
1348	You hear music coming from a small box with numbers on it from the side of the road.
1349	You hear the rumbling, and feel the road thrumming beneath your feet. To one side, the view is obscured with dust rising up from the ground. Shapes rushing towards you resolve into cattle - hundreds of them, all running for their lives.
1350	You meet a caravan of camels going in the opposite direction.
1351	You notice three small jars sitting in the middle of the road. One is open. You also see a bloated body lying with its back towards you. As you approach, you hear loud buzzing from the bushes nearby.
1352	You pass an inn at a crossroads when a sudden blast tears away the wall.
1353	You pass another group of adventurers resting on the side of the road. The smell of ale and roasting meat fills the air. They smile and wave at you, gesturing to visit.
1354	You realize the road appears to have a face, and it is giving you an odd look.
1355	You round a bend in the road to see a carriage being held up by a group of bandits.
1356	You see a saddled horse tied up to a tree.
1357	You see a strange cloud formation in the sky.
1358	You see broken clay pots with spilled contents and the pieces of a broken wagon wheel. Sawdust and metal grindings suggest recent replacement.
1359	You see children playing on the road. When approached, they look startled and run off into the woods.
1360	You see the remains of a trade cart. Closer inspection reveals corpses several feet away from the road, half buried, dragged there by the raiders.
1361	You spy a chicken on one side of the road, looking diffidently at the other side.
1362	You stumble upon a small shrine dedicated to a deity of travelers. In the middle of the shrine you see a statuette with cupped hands, on which you can drop a coin for good fortune.
1363	You stumble upon an old scroll case wedged between a tangle of tree branches. Inside is a village's charter of rights and freedoms.
1364	You suddenly realize these horses hate fire.
1365	You travel at night under a new moon. Your party's scout points up at the sky, where traditionally stationary constellations swirl about as if stirred by a cosmic spoon.
1366	You traverse a darkened path through light woods, a glowing chariot appears above the trees to one side.
1367	You're halfway across an icy bridge when motion below catches your eye. Through the nearly transparent arch, you spy an orca chasing a seal in the frigid water below.
1368	Your party either passes a band of pilgrims headed quietly for sacred terrain.
1369	Your party hears a clatter of weapons and spirited invective before rounding a bend to find two men dueling about the roadway.
1370	Your party's mage begins to sniff at the open air. The rest of you note hints of some odd glimmer or convection from the corners of your eyes. "Casting here recently," the mage remarks.
1371	Your urgent need to take a bathroom break disturbs a reclusive cult's shrine.
