1. A group of traveling merchants are selling rations to the players. The merchants are hoping to make a sale to the party. The rations are actually poisons disguised as food. The merchants are hoping to make a profit off of someone getting killed by the poison.
   
   
2. You see a lone figure standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out over the vast expanse of mountains. As you approach, they turn to reveal themselves as a giant eagle, with bright golden eyes. The eagle speaks to the party, offering to take them on a journey through the mountains on its back. Will they accept the offer or fear the unknown powers of the eagle?
   
   
3. Players stumble upon a mining camp where the workers have gone on strike due to harsh working conditions. The camp leader, a dwarf named Grimgar, is willing to pay the players to help resolve the conflict. (Players can choose sides or negotiate a peaceful resolution.)
