Locations
1
Sights: There’s a strange dune of sand in the middle of this grassy field, covered in scorpions.
2
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.
3
Sights: A pool of clear, still water. Gold coins litter the bottom, but they disappear if removed from the pool.
4
5
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.
6
Sights: On top of a large rock formation is a big iron statue of an eagle pointing its body to the east.
7
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.
8
Sights: A ranger (scout) searching for a missing companion, lover, or long-lost ancestor.
9
Sights: For a few hundred feet, wherever the characters step, flowers bloom and emit soft light.
10
Sights: On top of this hill is a pool surrounded with stone. The water is always cool, and at night the full moon can always be seen in its reflection, regardless of clouds or moon cycle.
11
Sights: A secluded hot spring, with the initials of many young lovers carved into nearby rocks. Discarded and forgotten undergarments can be found on tree branches in the area.
12
Sights: 1 web cocoons hanging from the branches, holding withered carcasses
13
Sights: A group of 3 standing stones with anxiety. When encountered in their clearing, they will disappear once all eyes are off them. Careful inspection will reveal them to hiding nearby – peeking from behind a nearby tree, bottom of a lake, hidden by bushes, behind where the party is now looking, etc. If discovered, they disappear again if not observed. The stones are not malicious, and do not harm the party. They would just rather you all left them alone.
14
Sights: A minor noble with servants seeks a wedding gift. Spots something valuable on PCs and wants to buy it.
15
Sights: A half erected statue of an old folk hero. Either under construction or half crumbled.
16
17
Sights: On top of this hill is a pool surrounded with stone. The water is always cool, and at night the full moon can always be seen in its reflection, regardless of clouds or moon cycle.
18
Sights: A traveling merchant selling standard equipment at 10% over book price.
19
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.
20
Sights: Ruins such as a crumbling tower, ancient temple, razed city, crumbling wall, sagging stone windmill, jumble of standing stones, etc.
21
Sights: A garden from a former ancient culture, which vanished out of unknown reasons. One of the only things found was this tree garden. Are the trees made of stone or turned to, no one knows.
22
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.
23
Sights: A ranger (scout) searching for a missing companion, lover, or long-lost ancestor.
24
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.
25
Sights: An inn that has been carefully constructed to appear as if it was turned upside-down.
26
Sights: A small shack almost hidden by the deep forest. The interior is empty aside from a large cast-iron oven.
27
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.
28
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.
29
Sights: A minor noble travelling via horse, with servants. He is off to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage. But he is still in need of a notable gift to offer to her family. He will attempt to buy anything that the party has visible that might fit such a need.
30
31
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.
32
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.
33
34
35
Sights: Ramparts, high hills, and trenches filled with water that stretch for mile marking the location an ancient battlefield. It has grown over.
36
Sights: An old stone archway of obvious elven design. Any character who passes under it makes Wisdom (Perception) checks with advantage for 1 hour.
37
Sights: Three stone pillars at the top of a hill, each engraved with a different rune of no known language. The pillars appear to change positions, but how this is done is unknown.
38
Sights: There’s a strange dune of sand in the middle of this grassy field, covered in scorpions.
39
Sights: Once a portal to the abyss, sealed by heroes long ago, now just a crumbling arch with an unsettling aura.
40
Sights: A ranger patrol, with a cheerful leader, is heard laughing from down the path. The man, tall and burly loves jokes and will reward any player that can make him laugh until he cries. However he hates puns as he thinks they are a cheap form of laughter.
41
Sights: An old weathered statue of a god with beautiful gems inlaid and surrounded with wicker basket offerings of gold, flowers, food, and trinkets. Stealing from the statue result in a curse (permanent level of exhaustion) from the deity until either greater restoration is cast on the thief or they repent and make an offering of twice the amount stolen. Award inspiration for respectful offerings or prayers given to the statue.
42
Sights: An inn that has been carefully constructed to appear as if it was turned upside-down.

45
Sights: A charismatic priest and retinue of apostles, who are mumbling to each other and won’t make eye contact with the party are parading down the road. The strangers belong to a religious group that routinely ingest psychedelic drugs. The priest remains clear headed but the apostles are currently under the drugs effects. The priest secretly offers some to the party in the form of exquisite wine. If the party drinks the wine they wake up twelve hours later hung over suffering from one point of exhaustion.

56
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.

70
Sights: An enormous stone of a singular soft yellow color. It is hot to the touch but by day it is warm and comfortable simply standing near it.

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.
