1	The PCs come upon a small cemetery. One of the gravestones belongs to Peter the Bold, fallen hero from older days. There is a lonely ring (a random Magic ring) sitting in the dirt next to the stone.
2	The PCs find a hole-in-the-wall joint called the Kindly Guide, owned and operated by a gregarious shrym named Rollee Rudgaze. All of the patrons turn their heads and greet the PCs as they walk in. This is perhaps the friendliest tavern in all of Fleabag County.
3	A group of merchants set up for a festival. An elderly, hobbled vendor called Frandy sells fireworks. He'll trade one of his coveted Whistle Zoomers for help getting the word out about his fireworks.
4	The PCs find a ring of keys that belongs to a Copperhat named Jok Maytree.

7	The PCs discover an abandoned alchemist's lab. Each PC can roll two random Herb Components.
8	The PCs find a cache of goods wrapped in a fancy rug. The haul includes: the fancy rug, a solid gold candle holder, a broken clock, and a portrait of a Felmog Outrider. Whoever touches the painting first causes the painting to change into a portrait of themselves.
9	A traveling WITCH named Weega sells alchemy recipes and Components.
10	The PCs cross paths with the renowned BOUNTY HUNTER Kade Kadderan, who nods as he walks by. Everyone gains max Courage for the session.

12	An overjoyed bugbear pops the cork on a bottle of rascal cider and proclaims: "It's a girl!" encouraging the PCs to celebrate with him.
13	A wild DORGON follows the PCs for several miles. Seems to have taken a liking to them.
14	A huge toadstool tree grows alone in a field. Spores drift from the gills below the enormous mushroom cap and a sweaty boggart furiously chops the trunk, muttering: "Miserable invasive species, screwin' up all my fields. I'll show you!"
15	A traveling jester, all too eager for an audience, tells a joke: "How did the boggle talk to the giant? He used really big words!" The jester proceeds to act as if the PCs are old friends and tags along.
16	The PCs find a derelict mansion overgrown by weeds and lichen. Investigation reveals a Loot Pile in the fireplace.
17	The PCs bump into a boggle named Fibs who claims she is the greatest salesperson in the Land of Eem. She can convince anyone of anything! And for the low, low price of Silver Coins, she'll use her gift of gab to talk anyone into or out of anything. Funny thing is, Fibs is telling the truth!
18	A sword stuck in a tree stump is vibrating. Remove it from the stump and it starts singing and won't stop until put into something else.
19	A boggart named Winston eats a noodle dinner with a gigantic bear. He invites the PCs to join them and not to mind the bear—that's his cousin Elroy. “A kobold transmogrified him some years back, but he still has a taste for noodles.”
20	A one-legged shrym with an array of scalpels and knives escorts a goblin with a mechanical sputter-arm out of his building. The shrym addresses the PCs and explains that he's a surgeon who can heal Wounds and even augment folks with new arms and legs.

22	Shelly Heartspring is a boggart who runs the Catch a Cattypillar Rescue. The shelter is a small collection of mudpacked buildings with several attendants that care for stray CATTYPILLARS. Shelly offers to come collect any lost or hurt CATTYPILLARS should the PCs send for her.
23	A pair of wugs riding ZOZO BIRDS herd a group of WUNGALOPES over a grassy plain. The wugs whistle and holler as their WUNGALOPES moo. They're in the market to sell one of their herd for Ancient Coins.
24	The trees sway in the wind, but one tree in particular seems to sway against the wind. As the PCs approach, a mighty BEAMKIN shambles from the edge of the trees and waves. The enormous creature tosses fresh apples to the PCs (each is a Normal Ration).
25	The PCs discover a tourist trap called The Dood Ranch where a crew of boggart wranglers manage a DOOD sanctuary keeping the creatures from dispersing more widely into Fleabag County. For Copper Coins, the PCs can experience the delight of living like a real life DOOD wrangler. For Gold Coins and a week of Downtime, they can learn the Dood Wrangling Proficiency.
26	A welkin named Glick pulls a cart of pancake batter, promoting Pandor's Cider House in Bogtown. Glick was hired by Pandor's to travel the countryside and whip up some fluffy pancakes. Free samples encouraged!
27	A procession of a hundred boggarts wearing brightly colored clothing marches to Munch to show their support for the King of Old Bogswain. The boggarts reject the greedy industrialism of the Dungeon Era, longing to rebuild their ancestral kingdom of farms and trades, living happily off the land. They detest the names Fleabag County and the Mucklands, preferring the old moniker of Bogswain.
28	A middle-aged goblin woman shuffles down the path, aiding a limp with a cane that jingles with bells hanging from it. She calls herself Mama Mordan and is so pleased to meet good upstanding folk in Fleabag County. A nice change from all the riffraff. Mama Mordan grins and offers a good luck charm, which grants a PC 3 Temporary Quest Points.
29	A suspicious, cloaked figure leans against the side of a building. As the PCs near, he lifts up the side of his cloak to reveal an array of tiny bottles and potions. "Two potions for a pouch of Gold Coins..." he mutters. The potions are unlabelled and random.
30	A thriving ROT VINE hangs from a dead tree ( Herb Components).
31	A boy skipping rocks makes a wish to go to Dungeoneer Academy, then asks what the PCs would wish for.
32	A friendly Copperhat (which doesn't seem too common these days) offers to escort the PCs back toward Bogtown if they're going that way.
33	A warm looking tavern with rustic architecture and a sign that says “The Favorite Auntie” is in the middle of nowhere. Inside, they serve simple, good food in several courses: tater o'boggart, leek 'n' rabbit soup, ungyon pies, and mashberry cobbler. All for Copper Coins.
34	A grubby street urchin named Penelopea tries to pickpocket a PC but gets caught. She plays it off and offers to show them around the city if they get her a bite to eat.
35	Rare snowfall leaves a fresh blanket of white over the rooftops of the nearby houses. It reminds everyone of their best memories of the Hearthlight holiday, which they should be encouraged to share.
36	A fair maiden in a carriage kicks out her apparent suitor and chastises him for being uncouth. The suitor cries, "You can't leave me here! Who will protect you from bandits?" The maiden pauses a beat then spots the PCs. "They will! Hop inside, won't you?"
37	A lost gelatinous goo is looking for another gelatinous goo named Chawlee. If the PCs can point them in the right direction, the goo parts with a random potion that's currently floating in their jelly belly.
38	A SPITHRA named Shadow collects inkpot spider webs into barrels to sell to the highest bidders in Dunk. It's great for making things very sticky and she'll sell a barrel for Gold Coins.
39	A goblin explorer named Professor Bander excitedly approaches the PCs to interview them about their experiences in the Mucklands. Several assistants accompanying him are hungry to learn and share firsthand accounts for his forthcoming book targeted to goblins still living in the Underlands. Bander gladly attributes each PC who shares a story in his future book.
40	A rare CHROMADYTE is trapped in a solid block of mud that is as hard as stone. The creature cannot communicate, but helping it escape wins the creature's thanks. It chips a shard of itself as a gift: worth Gold Coins.
41	A LEECHLING farmer named Wendle raises the bloodthirsty worms as a new kind of food source. Wendle, a bit concerned about them escaping, offers LEECHLING steaks for help securing their pen.
42	Uthergrum Thump, a bugbear used-siege equipment salesman, won't take no for an answer. “I've got ballistae, I've got catapults, I've got battering rams! And I WON'T be beat, ya hear?”
43	An abandoned hut littered with pickled foods and old magazines looks like it was once some kind of bunker for a doomsday prepper.
44	A wug and welkin enjoy a flagon of rascal cider after making a tremendous discovery: a cave filled with books, hidden away!
