Finding ship wreckage on the coast. Besides a dead or dying crew member, you find exotic things (maybe some fruit) from the mysterious island of Chult. There is also a smashed crate/cage with dinosaur foot prints leading away...
Perhaps an NPC necessary to advancing the main campaign requires your players to search some ruins, which turn out to be a dungeon that is inescapable without answering a riddle, finding a particular item, etc.
Finding out about a cult hiding in Waterdeep/ Neverwinter/ some small town, etc. that is planning an attack or sacrifice on innocents at the rising of the next full moon (so a time constraint for problem solving)
A strange curse infects a small town where town members can't seem to resist the impulse to enter a dark wood just out of town and they return as if possessed by other creatures/beings or come back seeming to be clones rather than the actual individual, etc.
Not sure if these are useful or crap; running on too few hours of sleep today, but hopefully they help spark an idea.
You already got some good quest idea's, I like the idea of town/city based events such as a festival of any kind for say one week of the year, and you can lead that to a small quest too aswell. Also the nice things about festivals is the events in the events and vendors selling uncommon or rare items. Hope this helps.
hi guys, looking for some ideas on some random quests or event,
you don't have to give specifics just the idea for me to work on.
the campaign is in the forgotten realms / faerun.
thanks for any help. =D
