7–8 A herd of defensive GELK lash out at the PCs for encroaching on their territory on top of a grassy hill.
9–10 SPONGOSAURS charge out of a mossy tunnel.
Priggle the Looney, a goblin inventor, fires strange metallic pyramids into the clouds out of a cannon, creating bolts of
11–12
lighting that strike the ground. Priggle cackles with chaotic glee as the lightning blasts trees and causes fires.
Ten boxes of Subterranean Pits and Lairs LLC explosives are soaked from a flash rain storm. Half a dozen TROGGLES are
13–14
trying to dry them out with burning torches.
A bogril junkmonger is headed to Fleabag County, but he's lost one of his best items: The Sword of Egbright Jack. Last
place he remembered having it was at an abandoned Ettin Den a few miles west of here. He's too tired to go back, but if
15–16
the PCs bring it back to him, dinner’s on him and he’ll trade a random Magic item. The Ettin Den is a Random Dungeon
filled with ettins.
The PCs find a huge sack in the middle of the road. It looks like there's something moving inside. Turns out it's a giant
17–18
web sack of baby GIANT INKPOT SPIDERS ready to hatch.
19–20 A rotten tree suddenly falls and splits open, revealing a group of hungry CURDLE SNAILS .
The PCs find a friendly mule pulling an empty cart with no owner in sight.

The PCs find a shallow pool with a single SCUMSEER apparently asleep, or perhaps in a strange trance. The PCs feel
23–24 compelled to stay with the SCUMSEER for the night. Once asleep, the PCs find themselves trapped in a dream (a Random
Dungeon) with the hungry SCUMSEER who wishes to devour their minds. Escape the dream to defeat the villain.

31–32
Mettle Check to resist setting him free.
A gregarious bard by the name of Elodie Elkhart hails the PCs and strikes up conversation. She does her best to
33–34 ingratiate herself, singing a song of flattery. She is actually seeking revenge against one of the PCs for some past slight
that the PC can't even remember.
There's something in the trees above. Glowing lights hover through the branches. The PCs have just accidentally
35–36
disturbed a WISP.
The PCs walk along a narrow rock ledge when the pathway crumbles beneath their feet. It would be a long, bumpy fall
37–38
down a ravine if they don't catch themselves with a Nimbleness Check!
A large group of MERCENARIES escort a faerie prince named Windyrill and mistake the PCs for BANDITS , wasting no time
39–40

Rork the TROLL lumbers after the PCs angrily. He is furious because they didn't even say thank you for clearing a
43–44
rockslide from the road. He demands payment or else.
45–46 The PCs encounter a gnome riding a fox who pleads for aid. A group of YOWLJACKS are burning a farm nearby.

59–60
pouch and attack.

The PCs find a cottage made from plants, flowers, and vines. Should the PCs enter, the house swallows them up,
61–62
sending them into a deadly Random Dungeon of tunnels as the house slowly tries to digest them.
The PCs find a small army of PIXIES guarding a mud hut. They assume the PCs are there to release their enemy, a WITCH
63–64
called Marleg, and immediately attack.
A CENTAUR war party charges from a hilltop, wielding bows, axes and warhammers. They demand the PCs leave the area
65–66
or be trampled and smashed.
10
A moaning GHOST beckons travelers to enter its burial mound. Mettle Check to resist going inside this Random
67–68 Dungeon. The GHOST wishes to possess the most hearty PC to finally get revenge on the long dead Graag Gargoon,
former Goblin King, who is often attributed as the Founder of the Dungeon Era.
Several CANKERBOARS root around the grass, searching for carrion to eat. They notice the PCs and the largest one
69–70 snorts to the others to eat them.

77–78
suffer at Kylor's hands, he bottles it up into Courage Potions to sell to the highest bidder.
The PCs find a ruined windmill. Inside, the vengeful GHOST of a farmer demands revenge for the death of his beloved
79–80
Leona at the hands of BANDITS ! The GHOST screams as the PCs approach, assuming they are the BANDITS .
HARPIES search through the bones of a THUNDERHORN . They are looking for meat scraps and complaining to each other
81–82 that they are starving. As the PCs approach, the HARPIES lick their chops.
A black tree grows from a crack in the earth. The tree is called the Old Oko, and is believed to have once been a
83–84 BEAMKIN who set roots into cursed earth. Now the tree is a stationary, carnivorous monster that attempts to snare the
PCs and devour them.
The PCs wander over a patch of large mushrooms. Hidden within the mushrooms is a boggle THIEF with a blow dart
85–86 laced with sleeping poison. The THIEF attempts to stun the PCs to feed them to his pet SPONGOSAUR .
The PCs have an uneventful day but, as they set up camp for the night, they hear hissing in the shadows beyond the
87–88
light of their fire. SARPATHI REAVERS descend upon them.

89–90
a screeching VULTOR .
91–92 A pack of WEREWOLVES emerge from a bramble patch to capture the PCs and steal their gear for themselves.

none, he throws the vipers at the PCs and runs.
DRIPPY DOWNS
TROLLS in suits of antique armor guard a broken bridge. They command the PCs to pay an outrageously expensive toll.
95–96
Ancient Coins!
The PCs find a wooden hut and a huge anvil in front of it. A ten foot hammer rests against the anvil with an engraving
97–98 of a troll's face on it. Beneath the hammer is a bag of faceless Gold Coins, 10 pouches worth. Should the PCs take the
coins, the TROLL called Caul the Coinmaker, stomps out of the hut enraged.
99–100 Storm clouds churn above. A hibernating DRAKE wakes from the sounds of thunder and sees the PCs as its next meal.
11
Dangerous Encounters
1d2 dangerous encounters
A shrine with a small, gooey bag in front of it. The bag is filled with a slimy, wooden figurine of a human. The slime CURSES
1
anyone that touches it to shrink into a wooden version of themselves within the week if they don’t find a cure.
A clown driving a rickety cart, pulled by a broken down UNICORN , sits in the mud with a busted wheel. Upon inspection, it’s
2
just a horse with a fake horn, and the clown is a dead skeleton.
A rag-tag troupe of actors blocks the PCs’ path and refuses to let them pass unless they watch their show. Anything less
3
than a serious critique and the actors seek mischievous revenge at some point in the future.
The road trails into a narrow ravine that is obstructed by what looks to be a wheel of cheese the size of a house. The road is
4
impassable unless the PCs are in for a difficult climb, or if some giant is hungry enough to eat it.
A wounded OWLIGATOR falls out of the sky and lands with a thud. The critter has an arrow in its wing and clearly needs help,
5
but is scared and defensive. A Big Fame Hunter is not far behind to claim their kill.
A cross-eyed miner wearing nothing but a hard hat and an ankle length beard is convinced the PCs are the crew of someone
6
named "Bad News" Branagan. The miner won't suffer those claim jumpers again!
An inescapable torrential rain soaks the PCs’ immediate surroundings but nothing else in the environment. A mischievous
7
KOBOLD bounds away with a childish giggle. Travel Checks are -1 until the curse is cured..
A voice beneath the PCs’ feet startles them. Turns out, a talking carrot by the name of Lady Oira demands, in the name of
8
the Kingdom of Munch, to be transformed back into a boggart.
The PCs find a box on the side of the road that says, "Do Not Touch." If opened, hundreds of sentient, screaming eyeballs
9 pop out of the box. They scatter, but not before screaming warnings about the terrible Stump Witch in the Used T'Be
Forest. Beware! Beware!
A wild-eyed shrym claims he can transform rocks into bread with his new sputter invention. The only thing he needs are
10 BANDY CLAM eggs to power the device with their nutrient rich shells. Good thing the shrym has lured the PCs into a field of
the critters to test his genius!
A DRATCH meat vendor pushes a cart along the path. He offers the PCs free samples of...something? It looks to be covered in
11 fuzz and slightly green but his tone implies it might be considered rude or dangerous to refuse. It tastes so bad that healing
rolls suffer Disadvantage for the rest of the session.
A wounded BOUNTY HUNTER offers to split the reward for a dangerous BANDIT in the area called Thick Pete. If the PCs are
12
willing to take on the hunt, he’ll pay Gold Coins.
A muddy map on the ground reveals the location of a treasure. Script in the corner reads: "Really nice and good loot, that-a-
13
way!" But obviously it could mean any direction.
14 A malfunctioning SPUTTER-HORSE bucks and kicks violently down the road.
A SPITHRA in armor wielding four swords battles a group of human WARRIORS . It appears that the SPITHRA is the aggressor,
15
when in fact, the humans just assumed he was a monster.
Wailing CULTISTS slog barefoot through a stream, shivering, and bid the PCs follow them to enlightenment in the Nameless
DRIPPY DOWNS
16
Lake.
17 Snap! The PCs trigger a pit trap. A smiling BLEMMY leans over the hole and says, “Yum…”
18 The PCs slog through a rainy valley. Suddenly a rumbling sound precedes a mudslide!
An angry GHOST knight paces over a skeleton that’s tangled in thorny brambles. If the PCs remove the skeleton from the
19
brambles, it pleases the GHOST, and they join the PCs for the remainder of the session.
20 One of the PCs is mistaken for a famous BANDIT by a local sheriff due to a very crudely drawn wanted poster.
A giant CURDLE SNAIL emerges from the Underlands in search of Drippy Downs plants and herbs. The snail has a terrible cold
21
and is sneezing toxic slime.
12
22 A DWEORG hunting party is losing a fight with a vicious pack of JACKALRABBITS .
A PIXIE offers to guess the PCs' ages. If anyone agrees, roll 1d12: On a 9+, they guess correctly, and the PC decreases in age
23
by 1d6 years. If the PIXIE guesses wrong, the PC ages 1d6 years.
The gnome E. Hubert Spudwinkle searches for the legendary beast, the humungojabbajabba, so that he can gaze upon it
24
once before he dies. However, Spudwinkle has unwittingly encroached upon the nest of a sleeping HUMONGOOSE .
A hiccupping TROLL is desperate for a cure to his ailment. It turns out that the hiccups are contagious, though, making all the
25
PCs hiccup until they also find a cure. Suffer Disadvantage while doing anything sneaky.
A gnome tends to an injured doe. They ask the PCs to fetch some healing mushrooms from a nearby cave, but the cave is
26
filled with STALAG MITES .
Japhy Stonebreath the TROLL is on a rampage again, throwing stones at villagers as they pass. Turns out he's mad that no one
27
ever smiles at him when they cross his bridge.
Someone is stealing sheep from farmers in Dunk. Discover the culprits by searching the area. Roll 1d12. 1–3: SARPATHI , 4–8:
28
ETTINS ,
9–12: BANDITS .
29 HARPIES cackle and jeer, circling the PCs from above. They intend to steal any items they can, then flee.
30 A boggle emerges from a hole in the ground. Her village is besieged by BOGSNAPS and she needs help.
The PCs stand in the center of a gigantic footprint, one of many. They lead eastward to a hill where a GIANT (who hates
31
visitors) lives peacefully.
Maud of Munch, the boggart duchess, approaches. She was just robbed and all of her servants have fled. She doesn't have a
32
penny to her name, but she promises that if taken to the closest town she'll reward you with Gold Coins.
Goblin surveyors plan a dig that will displace a quortle village. The quortles are protesting but losing their ground to a shyrm
33
cave-eater machine.
A DWEORG and his DORGON appear to be resting on a rock. Closer inspection reveals they are actually sitting upon a
34
SLAGMUNCHER and terrified of waking it up.
35 Rains beat down hard drawing ravenous SLURPWORMS to the surface.
36 A CANKERBOAR covered in slimy pus snorts and attacks.
A GOLEM tends to a series of flower-covered barrow hills. They are peaceful unless the PCs approach the barrows or disturb
37
the rest of fallen FAERIE heroes buried there.
38 An abandoned trading post seems like a fine place to rest until a RIVER GOBLIN springs out of a well.
39 Oofar the DWEORG wants to sell a FUNGHOUL pet, and he won't take no for an answer.
A procession of bugbears honor a fallen comrade. They take issue with anyone who does not follow their particular etiquette
40
of spitting on the road before they pass.
41 A wandering wug takes issue when a PC apparently stares too long.
A goblin merchant is eager to sell the deed to a plot of magical land. “It's tiny, only 100 square feet, but magical all the same.”
42
The land is not magical.
A garish looking bard notices the PCs and begins to run away. If followed, he hides in the forest. He believes the PCs have
43
DRIPPY DOWNS
been sent to capture him for his affair with a local mayor's daughter.
A bogril monk traveled all the way from River Country to drink from a magical stream. But the magical stream is fickle. There
44
is a 6-in-12 chance of catching a CURSE .
A KOBOLD challenges the PCs to find a magical stone he has hidden in a nearby meadow. If the PCs find it, he says that all of
45 their dreams will come true. The stone is easy enough to find after searching the area. However, the next time the PCs rest
they each dream of a random Adversary, which appears in the morning.
A bogril woman stands looking out at a pond. She is clearly melancholy and if pressed, asks the PCs for advice. She is in love
46
with a quortle but her parents don't approve.
A wandering SKELETON emerges from a thicket and continues on without looking at the PCs. It is drawn toward a tunnel
47
filled with other digging SKELETONS . If disturbed in any way they will all attack.
13
48 The hills are foggy and SPRITES harass the PCs as they continue their travels.
A KOBOLD sits on a mossy stone, but then she disappears. She follows the PCs while invisible until they get into trouble, at
49
which point she helps, but demands all the loot.
50 A river TROLL heckles the PCs calling them chicken for not crossing his rickety bridge.
51 A CHIRRUP runs away from a ravenous RAMGORE , but the chirrup’s unique chirp also compels the PCs to chase it.
52 A feral CATTYPILLAR lunges at a PC who is small in stature (or perhaps a PC’s pet).
53 An old stone bridge built over a rushing river collapses as the PCs attempt to cross.

WITCH and marks a trove of 1d6 Elemental and 1d6 Herb Components.
55 A rabid GELK , foaming at the mouth, roars and tries to strike with its antlers.

57 A CENTAUR hero battles with a SARGOG in a rainy ruin.
58 A flock of hungry KROWLS emerge from the ground and attempt to drag the PCs into holes pocking the surrounding area.
59 The PCs bumble into a field of THORNY BINGLES .
60 A cloud of riled KEESTERSNAPS swarms the PCs as a KOBOLD —squatting on a log and holding a flaming torch—cackles wildly.
As the PCs pass by a cave, two gleaming eyes belonging to a CACKLETRICE squint in their direction. Then it asks them a
61
knock-knock joke.
A party of DWEORGS leading a team of sniffing QUOBS trudges through the fields searching for something valuable—which
62

66
the TROLL who previously built the bridge.
67 KALEIDOSCORPIONS skitter from the underbrush, snapping their pincers and readying their tails to strike.
Baldor the KOBOLD offers to sell a jarred PIXIE for a pouch of Gold Coins. “Release it against your enemies for an entertaining
68
show!” Whoever buys a jar draws the ire of any faerie folk they encounter unless they free the PIXIE .
69 Two THUNDERHORNS burst from foliage right in front of the PCs, battling each other viciously for dominance.
SPRITES torment an ETTIN stuck in a muddy pool. The ETTIN tries to apologize for trying to smoosh them, but they are having
70
none of it.
An abandoned Felmog siege weapon, called a porcupine, rests in a ditch. It’s armed to fire 100 arrows at once and touching it
71
DRIPPY DOWNS
could set it off.
DRATCH pilgrims who were headed to the Used T'Be Forest now swing from trees in cages as ETTINS boil water in a huge pot,

squints narrowly and then, in a flash, clock's the shrym with a right hook. He growls to a pair of wug bodyguards, "Feed

71–72
transformation and the MUCKMEN suffer no spies.

territory.
A MERGA TOAD is in a cage with the letters "B.F.H." stamped onto the side. Despite being cooped up, the toad looks
3 unperturbed, blinking lazily. However, the toad starts burping a noxious gas inflicting 1d6 Dread to all Nearby. If it’s released,
it attacks, but also burps up four mundane items.
4 Two GATORS battle over the carcass of an enormous fish.
A hooded figure approaches from the shadows of a rotten tree. When they speak, it is as if dozens of voices work as one.
"The Witch of the Quag hath stolen from us. We cannot assail her. Return the White Scale of Sog to the first of the sarpathi

with the PCs he becomes more and more hostile and dangerous.
