Skunks

A quest/magic spell component/item recharging ritual/whatever requires that the group obtain the intact scent glands of 6 skunks.

Wyrd Witch

A wacky old witch in a hut in the woods, who will procure magical potions of wondrous efficacy for anyone willing to pay the price. Each potion requires payment of something really odd: 6 turtles, 3 double-yolker eggs, a painting of a tree, or something equally goofy.

"Save the good dragon from the evil princess- pt1"

Evil Princess intent on overthrowing her parents, but lacking the needed backing among the leaders of the army, has managed to locate an Arcane and purchase (with monies/items stolen from the kingdoms treasury) an amulet/ring/potion/item which allows her to control the dragon which for generations has helped protect the (select compass direction) borders and mountain passes of the kingdom from marauders and invading forces. The dragon under her control has been attacking outlying areas and the population is in an uproar. The forces of evil, alerted by the princess that her plan is beginning to bear fruit, are moving towards the kingdom. The king has suspicions, the general knows what's up, but can not take direct action against the princess, the court wizard is away at the time (arranged by the princess, false leads on an ancient artefact etc). The only hope for the kingdom is that heroes will arise and release the dragon from the princesses control, and bring to light the entire plot so that the king can banish her and make her younger sister the true and good heir. If the heroes should fail, the entire kingdom will be cast into a era of darkness and evil.

"Save the good dragon from the evil princess- pt2"

Just to add my own thoughts on this interesting idea. "Save the good dragon from the evil princess"

The dragon in question does not have to be full grown. Imagine the evil princess holding a dragon egg or hatchling ransom to force the local dragon population to do her bidding.

To adapt this to a forest scenario use a faerie dragon protector of an ancient forest. Or even have the whole thing be an illusionary romp caused by the dragon!

Lastly, imagine the evil princess gaining control of the court wizard's psuedodragon familiar. This is possibly worse than ransoming the dragons depending on the wizard's level!

The Party

The PCs, who are travelling through a forest, comes out into a bigger clearing and finds out that there is a party going on there. What/Who has arranged the party and if the PCs are welcome is up to the GM.

Crash! (AD&D.com)

One night while sleeping in a forest near any town, the characters hear a thunder-like BOOM that awakens them. They see a glow off to the south. If they investigate, it will turn out to be a space meteor containing a very valuable metal that makes exceptionally strong weapons. The meteor is much too heavy for them to lift, but fortunately, a Gold Dragon was also drawn to the scene. The characters notice him as soon as they arrive on the scene. The dragon will help them carry the meteor to the town for (up to DM) about 50% of its value (up to DM).
