 Using d66
A d66, despite its perhaps misleading name,
is not a 66-sided die, and does not provide 66
possible outcomes. Instead, it is a roll of
2d6, with 36 possible outcomes, generated
by using the value of one d6 as the “tens
digit” and the value of the other d6 as the
“units digit”.
To determine which d6 represents which
unit, one can use two distinct d6 and
determine in advance which is which, roll the
units digit d6 first and the tens digit d6
second, or simply dictate that the left-most
d6 is always the units digit.

11. Tailing Thief
A young man tails the Party through town,
less stealthily than he thinks he is being but
is rather agile when it comes avoiding
confrontation whenever anyone tries to stop
him. It is clear he wants something from the
Party and is unwilling to ask for it - he has
been tasked with retrieving a specific item
someone is carrying, and is foolishly
determined to complete that task.

12. Traffic Problem
The Party comes to a roadblock manned by
a guard, currently turning away a salesman in
a rush to place his delivery across town. The
guard says the road ahead has fallen into
disrepair, and the repair crews aren't due for
another day. The salesman is offering the
guard money to go through, but the guard
insists it is too dangerous as it bridges over a
creek.
13. Street Urchins
A group of street urchins blocks the path to
your intended destination. Currently they
are begging but a few of the urchins appear
unscrupulous and may attempt more
proactive means than begging to acquire
your gold.
14. Food Stand
A man selling dubious cooked meats here for
a relatively affordable price. The food is
delicious if eaten, but also suspicious and
gives a 25% chance of making the eater
rather ill for 1d6 days.
15. Waste Management
While walking down an alley a window
opens above you and someone empties a
chamber pot out the window. Someone
struck may be exposed to local diseases.
16. Shell Game
A group of street vendors, each running
their own shell game, line the road. They are
happy to take passers into their game, and
very convincing and persistent in drawing
them in. Some of the games play legit -
others are cheating, but doing a superb job
of it.
21. Reckless Routiers
A trio of armored young men are causing
trouble in the street, challenging others to
fight them and mocking all who refuse.
They apparently have necessary writs or
other permission needed to do this, and
seem to have connections. Their attention
turns to the Party as they pass.
22. Showmanship
A traveling troupe is putting on a
performance in a nearby courtyard and
dozens have gathered to watch. The troupe
attempts to cajole a Party member into
joining their performance in a moment of
inspired participation - their performance on
subsequent relevant checks determines their
share of tips or if an audience member
rewards them.
23. Procession of Faith
A large crowd of the faithful are marching
through the street led by an archbishop.
Certain Acolytes are carrying large symbols
of faith, fanatics are screaming at the public
to repent. Depending on the party's
affiliation, this could be a boon or a difficult
hindrance.

24. Procession of
Prisoners
A small squad of city guard lead criminals
towards their grizzly fate. Each is shackled to
one another by the hands. Each has a large
metal helmet covering their faces. One of
them is a well-connected noble who would
graciously reward the party for his escape. A
few others are making similar claims but are
a little less convincing.
25. Guildsmen On Strike
A nearby workshop has a small crowd
gathered. Apparently, one of the key local
guilds has refused to work with the local
guard or lords after some kerfuffle. Tensions
have risen and appear close to coming to a
hear at this workshop, with a number of
guildsmen and their apprentices standing
armed before a group of soldiers intent on
seeing the guild back to work. Violence
seems imminent, and likely to spread once
sparked.
26. A Common
Pickpocket
A common pickpocket runs into the party
and drops some their wares as they run into
the party. Decide whether or not the Thief
pulls anything off of a party member or if
the town guard are involved. If the guard get
involved, there is a 50/50 chance the guards
believe the Party to be aiding the pickpocket.
31. Customs Shakedown
A group of men and women in seemingly
official outfitting approach the Party and
demand to "search their wares", alleging
some sort of tax is due. Whether they are
actual officers or not or whether there is any
such "tax" that exists, it is obvious they want
and expect a bribe, their pick of the Party's
belongings, or a fight.
32. Something Beneath
The Party passes tentacle or some other
extremity or perhaps a small, monstrous
creature of some sort darting into a gutter or
hole in the town’s road. No one else seems to
have seen it, and outright denies anything
having been there.
33. Pack of Pariahs
A mass of dogs moves through the town,
not quite aggressive but certainly not
friendly. The locals take shelter as the dogs
near. Of caught in the open, they surround
the party, snapping at them. They get bored
and move on if the Party endures, or happilly
squabble over any food given, leaving the
Party alone.
34. Sea of Vermin
As the party is walking they are met by
thousands of rats running through the
streets away from…something. It seems as
though whatever they’re running from is
heading this way. Most of the townsfolk
hurry indoors and defend themselves from
the oncoming swarm.
35. Raining Frogs
The party is met with a storm that gets
4
progressively heavier within a few moments.
Suddenly hundreds of frogs and other
lizards fall from the sky, landing both dead
and alive. This oddity ends as quickly as it
started but is considered a frightening omen
by the townsfolk.
36. Fiery Preaching
A preacher stands atop a box on the road.
He shouts about salvation and peace, while
at the same time warning of doom and
hellfire. Few listen. When he spots the party,
he accuses them of being the source of
coming suffering. Depending in the party,
others may be inclined to believe him.
41. Fenced Wares
A man with a hastily set up stall away from
the main market square has a variety of
common and rare goods for sale at discount
rates. He is calm and polite, but clearly on
constant alert for local authorities.
42. Plague
Locals clearly infected with some sort of
disease roam the streets. Others steer clear
but the guards are unwilling to clear them
out. They approach the party, begging for
help - coughing all the while.
43 Raucous Festivities
Some sort of local holiday or ritual is
suddenly hand, and the city is wild with
partying, to the point that ordinary business
is hard to carry out - bringing all the fun and
problems that to much partying comes with.

44. Blood in the Streets
While the Party is in town, masked men and
woman suddenly begin stabbing others
nearby, in a targeted fashion. Some sort of
local political issue has broken into factional
violence.
45. Adopted
A stray dog (or cat, or something) follows
the Party through town, seemingly
everywhere. It refuses to lose their trail, and
even follows them after they leave town.
46. High Alert
The local guard are looking for someone or
something, and stop the Party to ask
questions or search their things. The Party
are unrelated to the issue, but that does not
mean the guard will miss other illicit items in
their possession or their unlawful deeds.
51. Out of Work
A group of apparent mercenaries are staying
in town, looking for work. They are not
trying to cause trouble but as they incur
debts, grow bored from being idle, and
offend the locals, they are on their way to a
major issue, which may reach a head while
the Party is present.
52. Bodyguard Work
A nervous merchant with his wagons is
5
desperate to pay outsiders for bodyguard
work while he does business in town. So
thorough is his fear of trouble that he will
pay premium rates - as if he is expecting
serious trouble of some sort.
53. Charlatan
A robed man sells “magic items” in town,
swearing to their potency with various
effects. If examined, they are indeed magical,
though all they do is warm the wearer - and
none are wearable garments or accessories.
54. Lost Coin Purse
A purse loaded with local currency is in a
gutter, just barely noticed by a Party member.
It is a substantial sum of money, list after
some unlawful activity. What the Party does
with it may make serious enemies.
55. Offended Dignitary
The entourage of a visiting dignitary parades
through town. Unfortunately, for some
esoteric reason, he or she takes offense at the
Party’s presence creating a precarious and
dangerous situation for everyone.
56. Stampede
Livestock suddenly run through the streets,
having escaped or been let loose by
someone. They are frantic and dangerous,
putting lives and homes at risk.
61. A Man Stands in the
Doorway
As the Party walks through the streets, they
notice a man, covered from head to toe in
robes, watches them from a distance at
multiple street corners and intersections
along their path. He seems to move faster
than the party no matter the rate of travel.
After (1d6) sightings, at the next intersection,
a single black letter sealed with blood red
wax lies on the ground. Inside is a simple,
slightly torn parchment that reads "We're
Waiting."
62. As Above, So Below
After turning a corner, the city streets fall
silent and empty. Turning back reveals the
same, as though every living creature
suddenly vanished. After a light bit of
exploring, a familiar sign to the Party has
changed its text and now reads:
"To those who find themselves lost,
I'll accompany you here with no cost.
I may not always be seen,
if my window's not clean,
and our roads will match but not cross.
Who am I?"
The Party can be returned to the original city
by saying the answer to the riddle out loud:
"[Our] Reflection"
63. A Bucket?
A bucket falls from the sky, clattering in
front of the Party. Everyone in the street
gasps and turns to look, standing completely
still. Silence hangs in the air. To all
inspections, it is simply an empty, wooden
bucket. Once removed from sight or
otherwise displaced, the townspeople
resume their lives.
64. Stroke of Genius
A strange character bursts from a house,
their hair slightly smoldering, and screams
"I've finally done it!" They hold a strange
artifact in their hand aloft. As the Party
approaches, the character thrusts the object
into their hands. "Take this, you'll need it for
your journey ahead! You'll know when to use
it!" The artifact is quite heavy and appears to
be made out of an exceedingly rare metal,
and it occasionally produces a light hum and
a spark of light.
65. Meteorite?
A meteorite the size of a bucket falls from
the sky, crashing in front of the party. The
meteorite makes a dramatic entrance but the
damage it does to the area is surface level at
best. The meteorite is composed of unusual
metals that are incredibly effective when
forged into a weapon.
66. Miracle on Main
Street
TIn the center of town, a group of people
stand atop an unspeakably massive pile of
bread, handing a loaf to all who approach.
The commoners in the city have all gathered
and cheer loudly, while various city officials,
guards, and main street business owners
attempt to curtail or contain the madness.
