1. A powerful sorcerer is seen levitating in the air, casting spells at a group of bandits who attacked him. Will the players help the sorcerer or choose to side with the bandits?
   
   
2. As thunder roars and lightning cracks across the ridge, the adventurers spot a celestial stag, its antlers radiating with residual storm energy. Rumored to turn hunters into stone, this majestic creature will guide the party to an ancient weather-controlling artifact, but only if they earn its trust through a test of their honor and courage.
   
   
3. A rockslide blocks the path ahead, forcing the party to find a new route. However, they soon realize that the rockslide was caused by a mischievous group of goblins who are now using the blocked path to ambush travelers.
   
   
4. A man approaches the players and tells them that his brother was taken by a witch. His brother is a very old man and is very sick. The witch is taking care of him, but she won't let him leave. The witch told the man that his brother has some rare herb that she needs for her brew.
   
   
5. A man is carrying a chest of gold coins from a dragon's horde. He has been traveling for days and wants to rest at the top of the mountain. If players help him, he will reward them with gold coins that he has been carrying around for too long.
   
   
6. Climbing through dense pine forest, players meet a half-elven ranger, a descendant of sylvan royalty exiled for a misunderstood crime. She needs help clearing her name and uncovering a plot against her kin.
   
   
7. Your path crosses with a solitary dwarf, stoic and weathered. He’s carving an exquisite statue from the granite mountainside, seemingly out of place. His life's quest to capture the soul of the mountain in stone seems endless, and he yearns for tales of your travels—adventure for inspiration.
   
   
8. Two farmers are taking their crop to market. They will offer the players food and shelter if they need it.

10. While resting near a cliff, the players hear the sound of someone yelling for help. When they investigate, they find a group of 1d4+2 gnomes who have been trapped under a boulder. If the players can lift the boulder and free the gnomes, they will be rewarded with some valuable inventions and gadgets created by the gnomes.
