[1] A friendly stray dog appears, when asked to speak the dog has a lot to share
[2] Materializing out of thin air, a magician appears claiming one of the party members is their long lost cousin. Surely this must be a mistake?
[3] The sky above turns into a strange hue, birds begin flying in strange patterns in response
[4] Copper sign on a large oak tree warns of a dangerous beast that hunts in the area

[7] A faint tune is heard, a pleasant and somewhat familiar whistling. But only half of the party can hear it
[8] The trees appear to be sickly, covered in an acidic substance. The source of the infection lies deeper within the woods. It is hungry
[9] Ruins of an abandoned town lie before you, only a few decades old. What awaits within the shadows?
[10] A strange marketplace is stationed near a spring, all the merchants seem to be friendly but you can’t help but feel like something suspicious is going down…
[11] The temperature drops to an insanely low degree almost immediately. Destroyed trees and earth lie ahead covered in ice crystals and blood

[17] A wounded Minotaur rests against a tree slipping in and out of consciousness
