D1 Random Castle Encounters
- In the brooding winter courtyard, an entire section of the castle has been overtaken by a malevolent ivy that whispers ancient secrets. A dryad, split into two personalities—light and dark—commands 1d8 entangled soldiers corrupted by the ivy. Helping the dryad reconcile her halves may restore normalcy and grant a boon, but siding with either could pitch the entire castle into eternal winter or untamed nature.
- The abandoned guest quarters hold 1d3 wyverns that nest among the dilapidated furniture, remnants of an exotic collection turned feral. Battling these creatures or capturing one alive offers a chance to understand their migratory patterns and remember a hidden passage leading from the heart of the castle.
- Trekking through the castle’s eerie stables, long bereft of their equine inhabitants, the adventurers are startled by sudden, spectral whinnying. From the shimmering mists, ghastly figures materialize—2d6 undead, half-rotted nightmare steeds mounted by shadowy death knights. These haunting riders roam the stables' confines, charged with eternal vigil by an ancient curse. Players who confront and defeat these spectral knights will find eldritch relics hidden within their spectral armor, relics that whisper of forbidden arcane rites performed to defend the castle’s walls against otherworldly incursions in ages past.
- Stumbling into the whispering echoes of a moonlit courtyard, players find themselves facing a beautifully tragic apparition—an ethereal queen mournfully tending a spectral rose garden. Six ghostly rosebushes (3d
- The PCs find a room with a large pile of bones – if they investigate, they will find out that the bones are actually animated and are trying to attack them.
- Nestled in a dilapidated tower, a secret enchanted garden blooms eternally under false seasonal lights. Unbeknownst to you, celestial beings—2d4 fae knights—guard this secluded haven crucified by mortal transgressions. Offering to retrieve their stolen relics from castle ruins averts a bloody feud and gains favor, whereas aggression leads to an impossible puzzle of fae illusions and the wrath of the enchanted garden.
- In the bastion, decayed remnants of war machines hint at desperate defense. 1d4 iron golems, still under incomplete enchantments, patrol aimlessly. Engage carefully to discover remnants of siege tactics, but disruptions send them into a lumbering rampage.
- The castle is filled with secret passages and hidden doors. Some of the doors are trapped, while others are not. It is up to the party to find the right door and make it to safety.
- A cold gust sends shivers down your spine as you come across 3d6 skeletons sweeping the courtyard with ancient, rusting brooms. They will attack if approached hastily.
- A group of men and women are gathered around a young boy, who is telling them an epic story about a dragon and a princess. The story is incredibly imaginative, but the boy keeps getting interrupted by his sister, who keeps correcting the story and adding details that didn't happen.
