Six-Word Sparks IV: Monstrous Encounters

Last time, I laid out some six-word sparks for designing adventures around people.  Before that, I focused on mysteries.  And those are all well and good.  Yes, six-word sparks can be used to generate interesting social and investigative scenarios, but they can also be perfect for setting up a more straightforward monster bash.

Six words is enough for one or two types of monsters, an action they're taking, and a target, victim, or location.  That encompasses more than 90% of the high-fantasy adventures I've GMed and played in.  It's nice to get outside of your comfort zone, but sometimes you just want to fight some monsters.
