14. A full chamber pot clatters to the street in front of you...but there is no window close by...

24. Wild Beast escaped from an Asylum or Abandoned Menagerie.
25. (1d6) Giant Flies, plus a cloud of thousands of normal flies. These insects seem to be clustered around the broken window of an old seamstresses' shop. A casual perusal of the premises will reveal 2d4 dead bodies stuffed carefully and neatly into the old sewing mannikins; someone has taken a lot of time and trouble to stitch these corpses into these frames, but to what end?
26. (1d6) Harpies on way to Green Tower. They are late for a consultation with a Hagtessa to whom they owe a number of special 'favors.'
27. Herd Animals being driven to market/butcher by a pack of (3d6) Feral Children who have only just rustled the things from the cellar-stables of a Refugee family that are now stalking them from roof-top. The refugees intend to recover their property, and to teach those kids a harsh lesson.
28. Broadsheet Poster/Pamphleteer and/or (2d4) Rent Collectors and/or (1d6) Pickers. All arguing about what can or cannot be posted where and for how much. The broadsheet is an advertisement for a Magnetic Seance hosted by some up and coming Mesmerist.
29. Hallerian-mode Zombies. [30% inside the walls/40% outside the walls/30% false alarm]. Who let those damned things in here? This could further prejudice people against the Hallerians. Perhaps that was the intent? But who among all their enemies would stoop to something this obscenely stupid and dangerous just to discredit their rivals?
30. Airship. Someone claims to have spotted an airship. They're probably mistaken or lying, unless it's pirates. Again. Bastards.
