I’m Not Saying She’s a Gold Digger
- Archaeologist gets special permission to excavate an important historical site
- Party asked to help accompany her
- She’s actually part of a group of bandits who are just trying to grab the gold from the burial site
All that glitters is not gold
- Glittery sparkles, residual magic, fade quickly…townsfolk are bottling it and frantically trying to buy something/barter with it before the glitter peters out
- Sorcerers guild is complaining that townsfolk think the shimmering from their spellcasting is gold dust
- Trying to collect it and distracting sorcerers from their work
The Golden Oldies
- Kobold musicians are back!
- It’s been a long time, reunion tour (they’re old)
- Golden record/sheet music buried deep
- They play it and it summons something
Fool’s Gold
- Someone who is really dumb wins the lottery and needs a financial advisor
- Inherits a fortune
- OR Jester in a court for a king makes big bucks for his comedy
- He’s brilliant
- Only gets paid for fart jokes and other low-brow humor
- Wants to be a satirist…satyr-ist
- He only dishes out satyr…it’s all jokes that make fun of satyrs…what’s up with those goat legs?
- Satyrs are offended
And The Rest
- Silver and Gold – Mountain adventure with Yukon Cornelius
- Golden Calf
- Someone wants to run faster so the turn their calves to gold
- Can’t walk now
- The Golden Rule
