D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. You see a small cabin. There are many pieces of paper covering the walls. You see stick figures with numbers on them. A small female halfling sits at the table. She is a scribe of great wisdom. The pieces of paper represent the locations of nodes of power that run through the area. She keeps track of them. What they do while they are in her cabin is a mystery. She will tell you where each of the nodes are. She will allow you to use her maps and to copy them onto your own for a small fee. If you give her a gift of coins or gems, she will be more than willing to let you take the maps with you.

3. The party comes across a large, dilapidated castle with a single tower still standing tall. As they explore, they realize that the tower houses a powerful wizard who has been banished there by a rival wizard. The wizard offers the party a deal – in exchange for freeing him from his imprisonment, he will teach the party powerful spells. However, freeing him will not be an easy task, as the tower is guarded by powerful golems.
   
   
4. You see a foul mutant giant dragon. It has 2d10+200 hit points and will be flying in the direction of the party. It will fly over the party and then land a little further from it. The party can try to hide or attack the dragon. The dragon will fly past the party and fly in another direction or land about 500 feet from the party. If the party attacks the dragon and kills it, they find one of the following. A bag of gold coins. A ring of protection +1. A sword +2. A bag of jewels. A lute for a bard which can be used as a magic instrument by anyone trained in the skill.
