93.) A boat is half buried in the dirt far from any body of water

Alternatively:
95) The party spots a ship sailing across the sky, using clouds as "waves".

[GiglameshDespair]

97. They meet a friendly troll in full plate, who is questing to become a knight of justice. The troll asks them if they've seen any fearsome beasts it could slay.
98. You encounter a hunting party carrying the body of a tremendous dire boar
99. You discover a wizard's tower. In the basement are a dozen locked cages containing strange creatures, and a open single cage. The wizard is nowhere to be seen.
100. With a very loud bang, a large chest containing a living halfling appears. The halfing is glad to be freed from inside, and gives the party a choice between two pouches.

And I'll let someone else cap it off. Make it a good one.

[FallacyofUrist]

101. The party stumbles across another party. Made up of dopplegangers of themselves. Claiming that they're the real ones.

101b: Flip a coin. On a tails, the dopplegangers are telling the truth.

That was fun guys, and really creative.  If I get some more time I'll compile those and add them to the OP.  Added to the OP, with credits to the participants.

95b. It's a clear sky.

[Sensei]

102.) The party encounters a camp of shifty figures, selling stolen goods for cheap. They're pretty open about stuff being stolen. If something has been stolen from the party recently, they can buy it here.

[Bohandas]

103.) Forest fire
104.) Flash flood
105.) Mud slide
106.) Windstorm
107.) Harmless but odd magically altered wildlife; small animals with odd appearances cantrips or orisons as 1/minute spell-like abilities. maybe faintly glowing squirrels moving nuts around with Mage Hand.
108.) 2 wizards in a non lethal brawl
109.) Low level and/or npc class spellcaster members of one of the almost-fey humanoid races (ie. elves, gnomes, etc.) - or perhaps actual fey - hidden by the side of the road try to magically prank or telekinetically pickpocket (or putpocket) the PCs without their knowledge

EDIT:
110.) Elves are running an unlicensed gambling den in the treetops
111.) An itinerant priest of Olidammara (or a similar deity ) tags along for a while and gives an impassioned but rambling sermon including phrases like "off the chain", "kickin it oldschool", "keep your pimp hand strong" and "smoke weed every day"

One thing to bring up about that though: they were wildreness encounters, not adventure ideas

[Avis-Mergulus]

Has anybody here ever tried to roleplay a legit mute character? How did/would you go about it?
I tried grunts, gestures and writing crookedly on paper for all of a half-hour, and then reverted to bullshit like 'through his awesome pantomime skills, Franz communicates this ridiculously complicated idea in minute detail', only using less cheaty methods for flavor.

E: Sir Bearington doesn't count. He's a distinguished gentleman who can speak, as we all know.

[scriver]

26. You come upon a very stressed and severely overworked troll below a heavy-trafficked city bridge.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]
