Prompts

1. Ye Olde Tavern - Pull up a chair, stranger. Have a pint. Try the lamb stew! Inns and taverns are the most common way for strangers on an adventure to meet, whether they're on the road to find the next quest, or someone looking for a job (hopefully one that involves annihilating monsters). And if all else fails? BAR FIGHT!

2. Here Be Goblins - Beginning adventurers find goblins to be one of the first monsters they can fight without getting brutally murdered, though veterans might find them to be too weak. Don't underestimate these wily and nasty little fiends! They might not be smart, but there's a LOT of them in this cave, and it reeks of goblin even twenty feet away.

3. Town Festival - What luck! Stopping in this quaint little hamlet to restock on gear and supplies, you're just in time to join the party. It could be a celebration of the recent harvest, a chance to honor a hero of old (maybe your ancestor!), or the local rich guy just decided he wanted to throw a party and rolled out the kegs into town square. Eat! Dance! Fun!

4. Dungeon Crawl - Each dungeon has its own smell...mold, dust, rot, sulfur... None of them fall into the 'pleasant' category. Bring torches, weapons, and wits! You'll need all of these things to find treasure / slay evil creatures / avoid dangerous traps / accidentally unseal a force of evil.

5. So You Accidentally Unsealed a Force of Evil - A nefarious cult has all the ingredients they need to perform an unholy ritual to loose a great demon/god/asshole into the world, and need just one more thing: blood! YOURS! Or your friend's! Or a helpless villager! Only you can stop them. Or maybe you were just too damn late and there goes that evil demon/god/asshole wreaking havoc left and right. Someone should do something about that.

6. So You Successfully Stopped a Force of Evil - You and your teammates have emerged from the cave to see the sun rise. Or beheaded a despot. Or rescued a fishing crew from a horrible sea monster. The point is, you won! What now? Wash off the grime and take a nap? Test out the new magic weapon you found? Brag to that cute adventurer and impress them into dating you? Drink? Drink.

7. Inconvenient Weather - Sometimes the elements just don't want a hero to do the hero thing. There's a raging lightning storm, or a fierce blizzard, or blistering heat... Whatever it is, the smart thing to do is take shelter. Duck into a cave and dry off. See if the inn has any vacancies (or if they'll let you sleep in the hayloft). Set up camp in a magical pocket dimension.

8. Never Get on the Boat - Every seasoned adventurer knows better than to board any sea-faring vessel, lest their bored DM have an excuse to roll out all the horrible aquatic monsters and wait for you to fail your Swimming skill check. But here you are anyway, getting on that ship to fight pirates, find the cursed island, or maybe just catch a really delicious fish. Everyone needs their ocean adventures.

9. Mix It Up! - Randomly select two of the options above and somehow make them fit into one prompt. Be daring! Be bold! Be wild!
