He ' s just lucky he didn ' t get nutmegged <| sep |> In my case it was hair gel . I though if I was going to look ridiculous , I might as well enjoy it . Went full punk for like two months back in school , after which I could tie it with a hairband to get one of those hipster miniponytail things . <| sep |> honestly i wouldn ' t even be mad <| sep |> Combat is not the only thing that your players may encounter . What makes a journey amazing and unforgettable is not random bandits they run across , but other kind of encounters . For exampleA Ravaged camp with things scattered all aroundA lone wander offering cryptic adviceA magnificent waterfall Some kind of a sign from gods Think unicorn or some kind of atmospheric even . Actually about the later . A strong rainstormhailsnow stormA road blockA dying merchant ambushed by bandits Etc . Really , combat is probably the least interesting thing that can happen . Also camping ! Easily camping is the most overlooked aspect of a journey . From time to time make them play out setting up a camp amazing RP opportunities for more character development ! . If you feel particulary naughty make something happen ! Set up guards for the night and ambush them with wolves . Or perhaps a hungry vampyre ? Or a crazed madman ? Also , make sure that supplies they bought in the town are set to use . Maybe a part of the road collapsed and the way around makes them climb on the mountainside ? Use them ropes and them pythons ! A sudden quicksand is a classic . Overgrown path that requires some clearing ? Turn your fantasy knob to 11 and have fun !
