Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Murky shadow flows disturbingly across dying grasslands, solidifying into 1d4 shadow hounds. Protecting themselves invites chaos unless the party deduces the living shadows' divine anchor—a haunted temple needing re-consecrating.
   
   
2. The party comes across a group of prisoners being led by a band of ruthless slavers. The prisoners beg for help and offer a reward if the party can free them.
   
   
3. A powerful merchant caravan offers to trade rare and valuable goods with the party, but they soon realize that the caravan leader is actually a dragon in disguise. The dragon offers even greater rewards if the party can protect the caravan on its journey through dangerous territory.
   
   
4. A rogue meteor shower brings extraterrestrial debris, casting cynosure on hidden underrealm entryways. The disturbance awakens giant, ringed rockworms that feed off the falling fragments.
