D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Whispering dunes lead players to four chained spectres, condemned for a stolen honor. Players can restore their honor by retrieving ancient stolen goods or end the medieval haunt.
   
   
2. A large hand on the ground. A wizard shows up a few minutes later, picks it up, then proceeds to leave. His name is Ashelburry, and he's not interested in talking. He's a mid-level mage and can deal damage, but he doesn't like to fight. He's animating some hands for a scheme to mass paint paintings to sell on markets around the world.
   
   
3. Above ruins electrified by perpetual thunderstorms, players find a hidden sanctuary of lightning elementals practicing a forgotten school of magic. These elementals offer to share their knowledge only if the players can prove their control over lightning magic in spellcasting duels.
   
   
4. While seeking refuge in a ruined village, the players meet 1d4 kindly elders swearing loyalty. But a dark conspiracy unveils the elders as malevolent shapeshifters betraying travelers for consumption.
