-Cult leader. Lots of good creepy lairs to explore as the characters track this one down. Sedition involves going against the government, so for some reason this cult wants to see the downfall of the local government. This can allow for the cult blackmailing members of the government or even highly placed government officials being members of the cult. Once word gets out that the party is looking for Lucious, they may find numerous obstacles suddenly appear in their way.

-What are the Elder Kings? I have no idea and it really doesn't matter. Will they find out what the Elder Kings are? Only the DM knows that. Perhaps they are known by another name in his campaign. Perhaps they are only fictional stories based on nothing of substance. This is really just an opportunity for the players to do some dungeon exploring.

-A fellow adventurer has been lost in a dungeon crawl. Can the characters rescue him or will they be forced to fight his undead form? Or is he not really missing, but rather has forsaken his heroic ways for a life of evil? Only a dungeon crawl can answer these questions.

-If the military is recruiting groups of civilian adventurers to do some scouting, it can only mean a couple of things. One is that they deem it too dangerous for "regular" scouts, two that they may not want to be associated with the scouting missions and want plausible deniability. Either way, these could be some exciting scouting missions into enemy territory, perhaps for a potential attack into another country or to head off an invasion. Will the military allow the group to live after their usefulness is done and they have gained some knowledge of what is going on? Only the DM can decide that.

-Is he a harmful villain or only a seducer of other men's wives and daughters? Is this reward because he has harmed someone's person or just their pride? What will the characters do if he comes to them for aid?

-A magical warhammer. Could it be something more? An artifact of ancient lore? Some research may reveal there is more to this item than it at first appears. And what use will it be put to by those who are offering the reward?

-The Cat nomer could apply to the fact he is in fact a werecat. Dirk is an agent for an enemy government sent to spy. Investigation of the charges will reveal it occured to a government official with access to sensitive govenment documents detailing troop movements and codes. Pursuing this reward will drag the party into an adventure of espionage and double-dealing with a lycanthrope at its center. Are they ready for that?

-Even if no one in the party does not speak elvish, they may have come across an NPC who does, or they may go out and seek to find an elf.
-Why is someone looking for a translator? Perhaps he has an elvish document that leads to an ancient ruin ripe for plundering (for which he will need a group of adventurers). Perhaps he has captured an elf and needs to pry some secret knowledge from the elf. Either way, this will doubtlessly lead to further adventures.

-This is a dangerous man and pursuing him will be an undertaking. He will have demons at his command. He is wearing a symbol and is likely part of a larger organization.
-What are his goals? His offense is not helpful. While consorting with demons is not a pleasant thing, he doubtless has evil plans that will harm the common folk. Perhaps he is planning to overthrow a government or, even worse, he may be seeking a way to allow the demons of Hell an easy gateway into our world.

-A simple but effective entryway into an adventure killing orcs and taking their stuff. Sometimes that is all the players want to do some nights and if they pick up on this poster they are letting you know this is what they want for the evening.

-Obviously the leader of a bandit group. But is he out for himself or on the run from an oppressive government? It may not matter since rumors are saying the reward will be doubled since he captured the Sheriff's daughter.

-A fairly basic dungeon crawl. As the message implies there will be undead involved. However, nothing was mentioned about the necromancer and his cult being there as well.

-Goofy smile, the crime of littering, the huge reward, only wanted dead. There is more to this poster than the usual. The target is an exceedlingly dangerous man, a man for which no crime has been found for him yet, so the most simple crime was attached to him. The powers in control want him gone, and gone in a bad way, but they fear him like no one else.

-Yet another way for a player to be proud of being an adventurer and a way to earn some "free" gold. Things that could go wrong include: the painter is evil and is able to control people through his paintings (having a stable of adventurers to do his bidding unknown is a huge plus for evil), the painter falls in love with one of the subjects, the painter is behind in her "protection money", this is a means to make a list of all the adventurers in town.

-Kor may be the mastermind behind a string of thefts...or the underling posed to take the fall in a clever game of misdirection. The real mastermind may have been using Kor as a frontman while he remains free from suspicion. However, capturing Kor first may be a way to get closer to the true mastermind.

-This is a large amount to offer for the recovery of a lost item. Perhaps the gems are worth alot of gold, or perhpas the item is magical. There may also be other groups looking for the item.
-The item may be cursed, a curse that affects the party as they recover the item. Additional adventures may be needed to remove this curse from the party.

-Pol Murk is likely the leader of a gang of thieves. Perhaps he a meticulous thinker who plans all his robberies out in advance. He uses disguises and other trickery to stay ahead of the law. The party may be hired to protect a warehouse that rumors have said Pol Murk is planning on robbing.

-From the small amount of reward we can only assume this is a lost dog a young child has lost and is desperately searching for. Sometimes its a good idea to throw in something simple and mundane as a counterpoint to all the fantastic stuff the characters run into.
-However, if that is too boring. The dog may have been dognapped by a cabal of sinister mages running horrible experiments with the goal of creating a hideous and unstoppable monster to do their bidding. Or Jasper is really a werewolf. Or a polymorphed prince.
