5. An owl hoots softly, hidden in the branches of a tree.
   
   
6. A lone rider approaches in the distance. He is a courier from city X, 20 miles away. He is riding a horse that is badly injured. He needs to get to the nearest city as soon as possible. He is willing to pay one gold piece per person if they will escort him to city X immediately. The horse is in such bad shape that it will probably die before reaching city X.
   
   
7. A truly enchanted picnic spread consisting of enchanted self-refilling sandwiches and juice that gives a minor buff but might make users float slightly off the ground.
