  • As they regain consciousness after an ambush, the heroes are tied to a driverless House Orien coach that is hurtling toward the edge of a cliff.
  • The heroes must rescue the noble's niece from a menacing spellgaunt (Monster Manual II, or substitute another arachnid creature) before it begins the process of draining her magical abilities -- but they must cross a treacherous underground lake guarded by a chuul (Monster Manual, or substitute another aquatic subterranean creature) to get to her.
  • The heroes must capture the shaman of a Poison Dusk lizardfolk tribe to discern the nature of the deadly poison she uses, before a valued NPC dies from an envenomed arrow wound.
  • A child is lost somewhere in Breland's King's Forest -- time is running out before he will die of exposure.
  • A trapped room's ceiling begins to lower on the heroes, and they must answer three riddling magic mouths to escape.
  • An enchanted mask is found on a deserted galleon from Sarlona, and a series of bodies begin to show up, tracking the mask's path to the PCs.
  • During an unearthly storm, the heroes must rescue a family of dwarven travelers before a tornado sweeps them from their hiding place.
  • The rope suspending a lift platform is fraying during a fight.
  • A wedding in which a devious changeling has replaced the bride must be stopped.
