52) PCs are paid to escort a merchant who transports his goods on an old river boat up and down the Mississippi river to villages along the river. (Plenty of encounters and adventure hooks here)

53)You are exploring an ancient cavern and find a man-made tunnel leading off to the north. Entering the tunnel is no problem and you follow it for several miles before you come to a locked door. Upon opening the door you discover a hidden underground city of humans. What happens next is up to you and the underground people.

Hey bevis123
Did butthead take over your computer? You know you only have to post a message once, right? We don't need the same message two, or FOUR times. haha
FYI: You can delete your own messages. Just click on the edit button, delete all the text, and then at the top of the page, click the box that says delete. It's that simple. REALLY. haha
This goes for everyone. I guess I wasn't the only one that was having difficulty getting posts to upload properly.

54) A mad scientist claims he has figured out a powerful tool of the Ancients, called a 'geology bomb' and he can cause the fabled Ancient land of Atlantis (or Nu York or Sattle or wherever) to rise from the depths of the ocean. He could also be planning to raise 'Kago from the lake. Somebody figures out that if the ocean recedes as much as all that, the rainfall will be less. This equals a drought. Not to mention the earthquakes that must occur. Life is tough enough without bringing bad stuff on yourself on purpose. Stop him before he can energize the Artifact.

If I was writing the Tome of Lore, I would let Auppenser sleep. But I also would have him dream.
In his dreaming he re-activates the innate powers of (some) mortal minds. Or his dreaming changes the nature of reality - currently very malleable thanks to Spellplague &c. Or whatever really cool flavor text and pseudo-science explanation people react positively to.

You know, I like that better than the explanations for the Spellplague.

These are all good and make sense! I just can't come up with something that's not covered here and is not completely ridiculous.

55. An entire village has been turned into nercophages by an insane apothecary robot in an attempt to save lives.
56. A take of "The Thing" a village or outpost is infected with a parasitic orgamism. Infected folks can't be discerned from anyone else.

57. While exploring some ruins, a PC opens up a container, releasing a swarm of nanotech. The "liquid metal" moves over the PC until it analyzes her. It then sets about replacing any damaged tissue by remaking the area into cybernetic replacements. This can either be the end of it, or the beginning of a potential problem if the nanotech continues to replace damaged areas until the PC becomes an android! Everytime the PC gets hurt, they fix it, but with less meat each time. How long will the PC have before they become Living Metal?

58. A Walking Tower has entered the PCs home territory looking for supplies and fresh blood for it's tenants, who have been trapped inside for generations, and the PCs community is on the shopping list.
59. Bits of metal from precious artifacts and irreplacable items are dissappearing, ruining several of them. The PCs may discover this after a rather vital piece of their equipment has been damaged, and find it's all over the village. A Clockwhirl colony has infested the town and is making more clockwhirls with the stolen metals. Find the colony and remove/destroy it before they start to cause real harm.
60. Outriders for a trade caravan that left two days ago come staggering and bloodied back to the PCs town. They inform them that WinSeen/Winisleans have have sprung up along the trade route. The nasty and aggresive tangle vines will have to dealt with, or the town could be cut off!
61. It's time for the Festival of the Harvest Moon and a great feast must be prepared, the main course being an entire roast Rakox. The task, the Rakox must be roasted alive, and guess who gets to go capture a live one...
62. At the Festival of the Harvest Moon, the old Master Rologolo, a mutant hamster makes his picks for his "potential" apprentice. Afterward, he returns to his mountain home and in 3 days time, the potentials set out after him. If they survive the trecherous journey up the mountain, avoiding both natural perils as well as the boobytraps Rologolo himself set, he will teach them the secrets of the Firedust-gunpowder.

63) For this scenario, the PCs must be Mutated Mice or something similar.
The Badder tribe that holds overlordship over your people is sending the Head Honcho Noble on his yearly visit to collect taxes (read: take the fruits of your harvest) and dispense justice. One of the PCs is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death. The other PCs must deal with this threat to their friend's very life. The nature of the death sentence is that the Head Honcho - who has the sole right of punishment - turns the criminal out at the edge of the village and, after a morning's head start, hunts him. If/when he finds his victim, he will kill and eat him ... not necessarily in that order. If the Head Honcho is in a bad mood, he may just eat an arm today and save the rest for tomorrow. Clever PCs may be able to find a way to send the Head Honcho out hunting the corrupt accuser.
