Do you guys have any little stupid adventure ideas? If you let me steal them, My PC’s will think I’m a smart DM.

Heres one:
PC’s have to be in somewhat remote area. Some peasant guy approaches them saying his village needs water. His son is a half elf, and his elven wife has been dead for some time. She was abandoned by her tribe for some reason. She raised their son on old elf stories of thievery and adventure. Son unsuccessfully tries to make friends with all the elves that travel through. The last small band used him to steal most of the towns water supply acting like his friend. They also stole some kind of necklace of sentimental value from the local druid, but this guy doesn’t know that. Then the elves left with his son. The guy tells you on top of his sons thievery, the local druid has for some reason, drained/poisoned/blocked the local well/river/stream. He is an evil cruel druid who no one ever sees, but he leaves little picture messages with demands or reprimands. The guy isn’t smart enough to volunteer the info on the way the druid leaves messages, or the last message left. Which was something that symbolized thievery, (like a hand getting cut off or something). This guy doesn’t know what that means, but the PC’s might figure it out.

You can go different ways from there. The PC’s might try to fight the druid, or talk to him. Remember that he is evil and powerful. If they successfully talk to him, he tells them about the thievery, and his punishment to the entire village. The PC’s might try to track down the elves. You could say the half elf tried to run with them, and gave up or died along the way. They might catch up to the son. The elf band leader should be somewhat charismatic (enough to fool the son into thinking him a friend anyway), and I pictured the Druid being halfling.

S0: lonely son gets used by elves and takes them on thievery rampage, stealing the towns back up water and something from a druid. They leave. Druid gets pissed, and punishes whole town. Druid is evil, and does not care that not everyone of the townsfolk is to blame. He wanted an excuse to get rid of the annoying folk anyway. Father of half elf boy asks for help.

I left out a lot of details of course. Can you guys add anything to this idea, or do you have any others you want to post?

Is this a topic that we are throwing around adventure ideas?

How about an adventure wherein the PC’s have to thwart some vile, horrid creature or villian (perhaps a kaisharga or even Rajaat, or Dregoth). But the only way they can find to do this is by a legendary magic item that must be quested for. They fight to some ancient resting place, perhaps even the mud palace. There they find the ma’kat mannequin, and one of the party members must choose to sacrifice himself for the better of the world.
