Collateral Damage

Pipe Bomb-Stuffed Chicken Left On Road

I think that headline really says it all . . .

In any event, this seems like an attempt by the PCs to get a horrible monster to swallow the explosives filled bait. In particular since this was in Conn, I'm envisioning some sort or Cthulhoid menace.

Of course, dynamite is the only way to be sure you get some of the larger monsters. However, that this was left over says that possibly the monster was too smart to take this bait.

What if the monster only eats humans? Will the PCs take their good idea (blow the critter up from the inside) to it's logical conclusion? And who gets the explosives strapped to them? The local cultist? A heroic PC? An animated corpse from the local morgue?

Dragon Fight!

Divers battled Komodo dragon before rescue

This sounds like a random encounter gone awry! "What do you mean we see a komodo dragon?"

OR, these gentlemen could be friends of the PCs, who ask their friends to investigate the lizards attacking their community. Are the komodo dragons in service to a tribe of Kobolds who are scouting the area for the liege dragon to move in?

Divine Intervention?

Indian school names monkey god chairman

While this is just a slightly whacky little story, it makes me wonder about a game that had gods getting directly involved in more mundane aspects of mortal life.

While Dr. Mercury would be great, I think Chief of Police Ares might be wee bit too strict and prone to violence!
