Sights: A game warden with a broken bow and empty scabbard, fuming as he walks, emerges from the woods. He tells the party how he was disarmed by an extremely clever badger that threw his sword into the river and cracked his bow in two. The badger is actually a druid in animal form who hates anything to do with hunting including those who attempt to govern it.
3
Sights: The spirit of a dead chef appears and asks the party to prepare a meal he has never seen before.

6
Sights: A minor noble with servants seeks a wedding gift. Spots something valuable on PCs and wants to buy it.
7
Sights: A natural rock formation that just happens to look like the face of an old man with a long beard. Ruins of temples from several ancient civilizations can be found in the valley below, apparently attracted there to worship the face, or perhaps just to be under his watchful gaze. Most humanoid races in the region are sure the old man looks like their race and have their own legend about him.

Award inspiration for respectful offerings or prayers given to the statue.

18
Sights: After a day's travel, the characters come to a small camp site. A voice calls out from somewhere, asking about the PCs and their business. If the characters respond honestly, a hunter with a bow reveals himself and greets the PCs. He often goes out into the wilderness in search of game, and has just recently completed a successful hunt. If the PCs are friendly he offers to share some of his kill with them, and if they join him for dinner they gain 2d4+2 temporary hit points. If the PCs are wary or rude, he returns to his campfire and leaves them be.

Sights: A 50 ft rust covered sword driven into the earth. The whole area has a magical aura and no wildlife lingers within a quarter mile of the sword.
29
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.
