More Side Encounters (A Random 1d10 Table)

1. PCs are approached by the town sheriff when they arrive in a new town. The town stockade has been attacked on a regular basis by a trio of Bugbears. The Bugbears have been making off with the cattle and it has impacted the towns livelihood. The sheriff asks the PCs to help defend the stockade and defeat the Bugbears. He offers to give the PCs magical amulets that will give them a boon to combat related saving throws if they accept his offer. The sheriff gains to improve his status in town with the townsfolk and the mayor if he can hire the right party to do the job. He has been unsuccessful so far.
2.  An acolyte of a local temple approaches the PCs and asks them to help recover a magical artifact that was stolen from the temple. The acolyte offers the PCs potions that will increase their hit points during the adventure if they accept the mission. The acolyte stands to gain status if the PCs recover the stolen artifact.
3. At a time when the PCs are down by the docks they are approached for a job by a messenger. They are invited to a secure locale away from the docks and meet a businessman who says he would like the PCs to infiltrate and investigate the taverns along the docks. He says that too many goods are being pawned off from the top and he wants to know which group is responsible for taking an "extra cut" in the Black Market trade in town. He wants the PCs to investigate the scene around the docks and suggests they start with the Taverns. He sets the PCs up with jobs as dock workers (maintenance and upkeep and logistics support).  The job is simply to gather information and report back. The PCs will gain the ability to move inconspicuously around the docks due to their job cover.
4. The next time the PCs are in a random encounter fight they get flanked by three Ogres who attack from behind and single out the spell caster for their attacks. The Ogres were hiding in well concealed locations (underground or magically camouflaged). The flanking attack happens after round 2 of the fight. At some point in the fight the initial attackers will feign a fleeing maneuver to split the party. If the party gives chase a second group of attackers will drive up the middle to then split the party into at least two groups. This second group of attackers will use area attacks such as alchemist bombs and flaming oil. This second group will be protected by fighters with great swords. This attack party has been hunting the PCs for some time and some of the attackers may make up members of parties the PCs have defeated in the past.
    
5. A local temple is being remodeled. The PCs are approached by a Masonry Guild for help. They want the PCs to bribe or negotiate with the temple spiritual leaders for the contract to remodel the temple. The PCs will be rewarded with useful information if they succeed.

He is looking to join another adventuring party after his last one got eaten up by the denizens of the Caves of Chaos.

9.  A barkeep needs a bouncer for a few weeks while his regular one heals up from a brawl. He runs a real seedy joint and the PCs are bound to get into some action.

These nefarious individuals have cooked up this scheme to beat the daylight out of the PCs.
