We can't get TOO specific - each campaign may have a different strange constable :P

Chgowiz, #8 doesn't specify what happens to the PCs. They are the ones the villagers are angry with, so the riot should end shortly after they trounce the PCs, right?

Make it a d10!

9: The angry villagers hire a different group of heroic adventurers to stop you. There is a 15% chance that the villagers will decide that a dragon or an archlich is a lesser evil compared to you. There is a 5% chance that the gods themselves will send down a champion to destroy you.
10: The village bard writes a scathing poem about you.

Oh ... the part about the PCs having to pay for the village to be repaired! Nothing really annoys PCs more than having to give up their *cough* hard earned *cough* gold for repairing stuff that isn't theirs! :D

11. Politicians play on Angry Villager sympathies and use the PC/Party and other adventuring types as scapegoats for the deterioration of all moral fiber in the area.

12. Leaders in the Church play on Angry Villager sympathies and use the PC/Party and other adventuring types as scapegoats for the deterioration of all moral fiber in the area.

(Sorry to swipe, I just saw a trend going there...)

13. The mob defuses after a couple hours and threatening looks from the PCs, but local Thief(ves) realize that the mob being out means empty homes & distracted constabulary; go on successful crime spree (roll d4 for race of Thief: 1-2, Halfling, 3, Gnome, 4, Human). (50% chance PCs are blamed).

14. Torch-wielding villagers, deranged with fury, set things on fire. PCs in center of conflagration. Ask them what they do now.

16. Town decides to turn to Evil and appeals to nastiest Frog God to intercede. God says "Yes." (45% chance player's stronghold is designated Ground Zero for Frog God's arrival.)

NOTE TO CALITHENA - almost to 20... we might make it for FO #7!

17. The local villagers seem very angry, but decide to let it brew for a while. Increase % chances of additional or more creative punishment on subsequent rolls by 20%.

Also, I would suggest combining 11 and 12 into:

Politicians play on Angry Villager sympathies and use the PC/Party and other adventuring types as scapegoats for the deterioration of all moral fiber in the area. (50% Leaders in the Church do this instead.)
