Random Side Encounters (A Random 1d10 Table)

I have been busy with my postgraduate school work and have neglected to keep up with the daily random RPG tables. I am going to switch to a weekly publishing format for the random table for a while as I keep up with my studies. The following table has been generated with data from the Generic Game Master's Helper program by Prism Hobbies. The program is available here http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/18871/The-Generic-Game-Masters-Helper?it=1&filters=0_0_31813_0_0.

1.       A rusty short sword lay here on the ground. It has the word Glilaran carved in its hilt.

2.       A hooting noise is coming from the west. If anyone looks in that direction a large owl will be seen flying toward them. It flies quickly over their heads, hooting the entire time. Within moments it has flown out of sight to the east.

3.       About fifty yards away you can see a large deer. It's a buck, and it spots your group. After a moment of staring, the buck breaks and runs off.

4.       You see a young child ahead on the road. She is running toward you and as she approaches you can see that she has a look of terror on her face.

5.       A white domestic cat runs up from behind you. As it passes it hisses and keeps running.

6.       You hear an explosion that comes from somewhere ahead of you. The ground rumbles under you shortly after you hear the sound.

7.       You come upon a merchant in a covered wagon. He is selling animal hides and clothing.

8.       Someone notices the shadow of something passing overhead. As you look up you see what looks like a man flying, about 500 feet off the ground. He flies off to the southeast and is gone in less than a minute.

9.       You come to a place in the road where it seems that the roots of a large oak tree have grown out of the ground and lay across the road. The oak is off to the right of the road. It is a tall, very old tree. One large root comes out of the ground about a foot from the road and spans the length of the road before it goes back into the ground on the other side.

10.   A Horse can be seen standing calmly in the distance. It is a beautiful white stallion with no rider.
