D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. A group of five black-robed figures emerge from the sand and approach the party. If asked, they will explain that they are traveling from a nearby city to study the effects of the location on magic.
   
   
2. A lone giant tortoise slowly moves across the cracked earth, grass growing miraculously in a perfect square on its back. Upon closer examination, the grass conceals a tiny village of gnomes who are seeking a lost relic that can control the weather. They beg for help, explaining the relic is currently in the possession of 3d6 mutant ash rats that dwell within the labyrinthine wreck of a pre-cataclysmic city.
   
   
3. A group of 1d4+4 bugbears are riding overland in carts and carriages. They are heading toward a town called Bridgewater. They will not attack unless attacked.
   
   
4. An obsidian altar across the ravine attracts three angry spirits longing for restitution from their unfulfilled rituals. Players must restore the power or quell the spirits forcefully.
