Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Players find a dying old man who claims to be a king deceived by his council, leaving his kingdom in ruins. His tale reveals a hidden threat emerging in their path, a result of his past decisions.
   
   
2. You arrive in a town that is made from mud bricks from the nearby river. The town is surrounded by a small wall with a few trees planted on top of it. It is the home of about 100 elf farmers who are not very good at farming. They hire the best woodsmen to help them farm, but never learn to farm for themselves because every time they try, there are terrible storms that destroy their crops. It also does not help that as soon as they start to cultivate the land, carnivorous green dragons come out of the nearby forest and feed on the crops. They store up food in an underground keep, which is also filled with mud bricks. They have 9d8+6 green dragons which they befriended and made pets. The dragons do not eat the farmers because they feed them the magic mushrooms that they grow in the underground keep. The mushrooms are created by tiny sprites in magic jars. Since the dragons are giant reptiles, the farmers feed them huge worms. The farmers fear the dragons and only feed them once a week. Because of this, the dragons are looking for more food and are seeking new sources of food.
   
   
3. The party finds a group of travelers, all members of different humanoid races, who are searching for a way to reverse their curse and return to their true forms. They enlist the party's help in finding the elusive witch who cursed them.
   
   
4. At a waterless harbor, old ships splintering into sand hide treasures below—portions showcasing ghostly sailors who linger as 2d4 ship-bound revenants. Freeing their tied spirits yields manifests chronicling ancient trade and conspiracy across these stifled lands.
