Since its easter how about a holiday thought or two. The Eggschange is a good source for wacky crimes. If it's run by Egghead he's always thinking up something. You're going to be the Octo-mom! Show
The Eggschange kidnaps an elven pc or an elven NPC. They're going to use the elf as a surrogate mom for some thri-keen. The elf will end up with 8 thri-keen eggs inside him. A cure disease or eight hours of surgery can remove the eggs. If not the pcs probably dies as the thri-keen eat them inside out.
Faberge Show
 A gold faberge egg is stolen because it's worth millions. A straight adventure unless the pcs drop it.
Stoned Show
A petrified egg is stolen from a museum. Does it contain a stone creature like Gorgon? Is it a spell ingredient? In a world with weird life forms do people wish they'd go away?
goose that lays golden eggs. Show
There's a mid-evil european kingdom that has a goose who lays golden eggs. The goose is stolen by the Eggschange and brought to New Orc. Goose is the size of a man and about to lay a fertile egg rather than a gold one. Goose may fly away from rescuer's? Everybody in New Orc Hunts the famous bird?

Since it's Easter, what about Zombie Jesus? Although I can see not wanting to do it as might be seen as mocking some people's religious views.. Which I don't mean to offend anyone.
Zombie Jesus vs Easter Bunny battle for a day or something?

In D+D jesus would on easter be an avatar or demigod? The easter bunny is probably a demigod or Legendary Beast. Hordes of Anthropomorhic rabbit men who sneak into children's bedrooms. Flocks of giant fluffy yellow peep chickens,some sort of golem. Chocolate bunnies. Jelly beans that are a hallucigenic drug? The old exploding easter egg gag? Easter lilies as some sort of Awakened plant monsters? Random thoughts.

Something on a more grandeur scale, definitely. Bets on who'd win a gladiatorial fight between Jesus and the Easter Bunny. Jesus' disciples vs rabbit men. Rides on the peep chicken golems for the kids!

The peeps allow the kids to have a few bites and offer a ride. When the kids are on board the peeps turn goooey and absorb the children. Pcs must be careful to not hurt entrapped children?

St Patricks Day Adventure. Since I love holiday adventures about some disjointed thoughts on a st. Paddy's day adventure. Overview Show
New Orc is going thru a minor recession just like us. The Leprechauns decide to help by creating magical slippers fit for a queen. The entire city will search for the slippers on St.Patricks Day,fun for all,free -for -all.
The Leprechauns Show
 A large tribe that wants to protect their gold from greedy politicians who are spendaholics.
The Diamond Slippers Show
Leprechauns love cobbling. if you're being chased by an angry Leprechaun you can take off your shoes and throw them into the mud,the leprechaun will obsessively stop to clean and repair your footgear. Most leprechauns got their gold by cobbling for centuries on end. The leprechauns have created a pair of diamond slippers. When worn prevent aging for 100 years. Allow a  bonus to diplomacy and wealth creation efforts. The wearer is called queen of New Orc.
Lucky charms Show
During the search for the slippers the  contestents must find clues at the lucky charms. The Blue Diamond is going to be a star shaped wand carried by Glinda the Good,the de facto leader of the white witches. But I want to cover the New Orc witches in a later post. Pink hearts could be a bed and breakfast. Yellow moons could be a lycanthropic hideout.
Every rich family with elderly females is going to want the magical life-extending slippers. Evil witches,mermaids,Medusas,Drow sorcerers,female yuan-ti will also want these.

Fourth of July Adventure. Another possible holiday bash. UNCLE SAM Show
Insane spellcaster who has been appearing once every decade for over a century. Wears an red,white and blue  top hat,tails and striped pants. Has a beef of some sort with trains or Iron Horses as he calls them.
STARZENSTRIPEZFUREVA Show
 A multi-headed dragon with one red,one blue and one white head. Created from grafting by Uncle Sam. Has flame,ice and electrical breath weapon attacks. Has flame,ice and electrical immunities. Gargantuan in size. Each head can speak and cast spells.  Sleeps after  july attacks. Lives in the Big Rock Candy Mountain,which is on this dimension for only brief periods. Hums the "stars and stripes forever" or "the Big Rock Candy Mountain.".
I picture an adventure that starts in june and ends with Starzenstripezfureva attacking a train full of politicians on the Fourth of July. Uncle Sam creates small weapons as well. A chance to introduce odball weapons.

DEATH TO ALL PIDGEONS. This is going to start as "Background'. The Reveal Show
The Pcs will be gradually made aware that there's a lot of pidgeons in New Orc. Statues covered in guano. Flocks of pidgeons pestering people in the park.(A 500 lb pidgeon shows up?) The Pcs get splattered with guano. The pcs slip on a roof covered with guano.
Gargoyle origins Show
Gargoyles in mythology were created from demonic statues. Demons supposedly flew over the earth at night. To keep them away from towns churches would build stone demons to trick the demons into seeking another town to plaque. A wizard or witch cast an evil spell and the gargoyles came to life.
Mini-Gargoyles Show
A modern wizard is tired of pidgeons.  He couldn't find fullsized gargoyles so he ordered a few hundred resin gargoyles,the kind people put in gardens or on computers. Using the changing a monsters size rules from the back of the MM you can create tiny sized Gargoyles. The Wizard could create and geas these mini gargoyles into killing every pidgeon in New Orc.
Death to all pidgeons Show
The gargoyles don't need to eat ,sleep or breathe. They start by attacking flocks. Then individual pidgeons. Then they go into warehouses and underpasses to destroy nests. They might be attacked by pets and defend themselves without violating the Geas. A pidgeon coop owner might be attacked if he defends his birds. Eventually the pcs need to end the problem? Track down the wizard and get him to remove spell or kill all the min-gargoyles.
Many monsters in D+D are still quite fearsome even when reduced in size. A dog sized manticore is still tougher than most first level pcs.

HE'S JACK E. CLAIR,HE'S FRENCH AND DEBONAIR. role-playing Jack Show
An atrocious french accent? Sort of a cross between peter sellers and maurice de cheveler(SP?). i reccomend watching the Pink Panther series and practicing in front of the mirror.
The Fat Burgler Show
Now in france a few years back they caught a nut case. This guy claimed to be the premier cat burgler of his generation. He had been breaking into third rate museums and stealing 1 or 2 paintings. after watching Mission Impossible he tried to rappel down a rope. He became stuck and because he was twice the size he should be was unable to bend in half and disconnect the tangle. He gradually passed out and the guards found him the next morning. They used cell phones to take photos and swung him back and forth. The Gendarmes eventually showed up and arrested him. The police searched his appartment and found the paintings which he stole and couldn't figure out how to fence. His court appointed lawyer entered an insanity plea.
This basically a test to see how long it takes the players to recognize a crazy. he should offer his services to get into a building,and fail badly?

HORSING AROUND. A magical mystery.Centaur origins Show

In ancient history a tribe of horsemen existed. The women die in some sort of plague while the men are out hunting. The men return and pray to the gods while clinging to their horses for support. The gods melded these creatures into one being that became known as centaurs. In New Orc this could exist as a curse?
The victim Show
A well bred woman,who has rejected a shaman's advances. Now she's a human with a horse by day and a centaur by night. Lives in a nice mansion with stable.
Bit players Show
In order to slow down the Pcs,throw a few red herrings their way. A mermaid maid who lives under the pool,sleeping with victims husband. Mom-in Law is a 90 year old witch who hates victim. Husband is a cheat and lives off wifes fortune. Butler is a former cultist.
It should take a while for the pcs to find the Shaman. The centaur forms every night,does she wear clothing or trot around topless? Does she remember her name?
