Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. A group of 2d6+6 humans are riding overland in carts and carriages. They are under a white flag of truce. They are unarmed. They are from a pacifist religious order. They are headed to a town called Catawba (or Ashur). They are seeking the party to help them perform a ritual to get out of the wasteland.
   
   
2. In a wasteland shrouded in a thorny, bone-chilling blizzard, remnants of a frozen city stand, filled with frigid ghosts and frost elementals. At its center lies an Ice King’s throne, a seat of ancient magic. To unlock its secrets, players must confront beasts forged in ice and memories of the long-dead townsfolk.
   
   
3. A group of survivors beg for the players' help as they are being chased by a swarm of giant mutated bees. The players can choose to help or leave the survivors to their fate, but the bees are guarding a hidden hive filled with valuable honey and potions.
   
   
4. You arrive in a town that used to have 600 inhabitants before the apocalypse. Most of the people are dead or turned into zombies or skeletons. The walls and keep are still standing, but they are made of plaster and wood. The lower levels of the keep were a dungeon, which has now been overrun by orcs. The orcs were still able to use magic before the world fell apart. The orcs were able to cast a spell that allowed them to keep very large monsters stored in magic jars. These large monsters still make up part of their population as well as the orc's population. The orcs are vicious and use large wyverns, giant spiders, dire wolves and chimeras as mounts. They have 12d8 large monsters that they keep in magic jars.
