Sample Encounters

A Taste of the Chaos

Six of 200+. You can probably already tell if this book is for you.

The Slaadfather
UrbanDestroyLvl 8-11

A gray Slaad tries to keep a low profile while running a pastry shop, but is actually moving Shiftspice in the back-of-house. Will the party make him an offer he can’t refuse?

Mucus Aurelius
UrbanMystery4-7

A stoic flail snail named Mucus Aurelius seeks the party’s help in solving the cause of a strange fever he’s dubbed the Antonine Plague. Can they slide in and assist?

Flumphrey Bogart
CaveFetchLvl 1-3

A noir-talking Flumph in a tiny fedora needs help locating a pet falcon for an ice cream parlor called “La Casa Blanca”. He suspects ice mephits in a nearby cave have stolen the pet, but the party is in for a chilly welcome if they investigate further.

Slay or Crochet
MountainRoleplayLvl 4-7

A village knitting circle, the “Close-Knit Society,” came up with a plan to knit a giant sweater for a nearby troll, but they need the party to deliver it. Dodge hefty snow balls, and giant moths that want to nibble on the over-sized sweater on the way to the troll.

Shoot for the Moon
GrasslandDefendLvl 4-7

An elderly halfling is attempting to rocket himself to the moon, but the bottled up air elementals have different ideas. Will Neville Armstrong crash land? And will the party protect him if he does?

Where Is My Mind(s)
UrbanFetchLvl 4-7

A rancher begs the party to track down his herd, a group of intellect devourers that broke out of their pen. They’re in the next town over, Ayduhhh, votest “dumbest town in the Realm” 10 years running. Track them down before they take what little brains the town has left!

The Slaadfather
