Even more D&D brainstorming in 15 minutes

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT! I'm going to copy and paste a lot of my last post so I can build on it.
  • Town of Talamh
    • Should ask around about the sleeping spell
    • Similar to Baile, but smaller
      • Similar layout, but much smaller travelling merchant section, only one tavern
    • Town was warned about the spell, but don't know what it was for
      • Rumors are that the queen was conducting something evil (group of four)
      • Rumors are that it wasn't from the queen at all, but from her brother so he could try and make the queen seem bizarre (group of five)
      • Rumors say that one person was awake but he's not talking (barkeep, local crew, and couple)
      • Have to talk to several patrons to find out where he is
    • Only one person in town was a bastard, but they didn't want to go
      • Abarat Dordan, full elf (see family tree)
      • Convinced that he would be killed
      • Paranoid
      • Thinks the plague that wiped out a lot of the royal family was poisonings (they were, but this is not known)
      • Hesitant to talk to the adventurers
      • Could be convinced to join them with high enough persuasion roll
      • Can be found hiding in the small out of town merchant section trying to smuggle himself out of town
    • At the local tavern
      • Can enter into a drinking contest with a local crew (Elred, Gorwin, and Shalia) for 100 gp
      • A very charismatic man (Folen Dorvaris) approaches the party and begins buying drinks for them and woo them with compliments and conversation. After the party is sufficiently intoxicated, the man begins to try to sell them normal things, described as great things, at very high prices.
      • The tavern has a dance contest
      • While the party is eating, the Queen's guards arrive and shake down the owner claiming he is evading the Queen's taxes.
      • The owner of the tavern (Ayda Genlana) is an accomplished homebrewer. She tells you about her various brews and, if the party is in town for long enough, will teach them how to brew.
      • A child (Myrin Elgolor) runs into the inn and proudly holds up an imp the child claims to have befriended.
      • In the tavern is the local crew mentioned above, the owner, the charismatic man, a group of five (having a grand time and eager to share), a group of four (more laid back, a little suspicious of the newcomers), and a couple on a date (most eager to be left alone)
    • Job board (have them pick then go deeper) to be found at the end of day one
      • The inn is being haunted. Items are flying off shelves and moving by themselves. The party investigates... at the root. A malicious spellcaster telekinesis using a Crystal Ball 
      • A local musician plays a song every night to keep an angry beast at bay. The musician goes missing. If the townsfolk cannot find a replacement to play the soothing toon by nightfall, the entire town will be in danger.
      • The players must infiltrate an illegal dice casino run by a Goblin Mob. They will need to find a set of "magical dice" to defeat the goblin kingpin at its own gam

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
