This is almost like Astrology. Here's what I got:
Events: The flight of a prince and his forbidden lover into hiding. (Wilderness)
Locations: The private garden of a noble house. (City)
Threats: Six enemy scouts, with spy-glasses and longbows. (Military)
Locations: A monastery and its associated shrines, each to its own god. (Countryside)
Each of which (mostly) describe elements in an actual fantasy adventure I wrote for a convention!
This makes SF go "The connections....!"
I've just done about 20 combinations of 5, and almost every time, some strong, clear connection immediately jumps out at me and shouts "this is the story!" Which is awesome.
