D1 Random Castle Encounters
- Moving through the stables, 1d6 headless horsemen—remnants of decapitation punishment—ride spectral steeds. Each rider holds fragmented orders of immense historical significance, defeating or reasoning with them reveals a grim truth behind a major conflict.
- Navigating charred remnants in the hearth room, embers dance beneath a beggar’s recounting. The flames embolden 3d8 fire wraiths, the scribe of betrayed lovers etched into castle architecture, bidding elimination or their eternal confinement. Selection refragments cryptic familial fire-themed lore.
- The players are walking down a hallway when they hear a loud crash coming from the other room. When they investigate, they find a group of ogres playing a game of bowling with the furniture. They’ll be very angry if anyone interrupts them.
- The players hear what sounds like someone singing an old song about a forest and mountains and something about water...
- In the garden courtyard, an enchanted statue of a basilisk comes to life, its gaze turning any who meet it into stone.
- The players see a group of heavily armed men in silver armor. They are patrolling the halls. They inspect the party, then walk off down a different hall. The party sees one of the guards take a goblet off a table and put it in his backpack. The party will also notice there are many goblets on the tables.
- A group of 2d4+2 humans are trying to convince a group of 2d6+2 halflings to abandon their village and move into their city with promises of food, shelter, and work.
- A group of soldiers are drinking and singing.
- A chapel devoted to forgotten gods stands solemnly. As you enter, sacred chanting fills the air, and spectral priests appear, performing an eerie, perpetual service. The entire chapel shifts based on the rhythm of the hymns, creating and dissipating barriers. The ancient scripts hold the keys to harmonizing with the priests’ eternal rite, stabilizing the chapel for safe passage.
- An eccentric elderly knight is convinced some rats in the castle are actually lost princesses. Pretend to help search, and he’s grateful enough to grant you his rusty, yet enchanted gauntlet. Ignore, and the rats take an unhealthy interest in your provisions.
