D1 Random Castle Encounters
- Venturing through the central courtyard, bathed in a ghostly moonlight that filters through a torn dome, a chorus of dread rattles the night air. 2d4 wyverns with skeletal riders swoop down from the turrets, their fiery eyes emitting unholy glares. Each wyvern's screeching summons shadowy minions from the dark corners. An ancient wishing well promises to banish the riders, but only with the right tribute, steeped in the castle’s forgotten lore of curses and sacrifices.
- A scribe takes a break from his work to glance pensively out the rain-streaked window.
- In the desolate chapel with shattered stained-glass windows casting eerie, fragmented light, 3d6 eerie, skeletal monks chant dirges from ethereal hymnals. Each note sung enervates life force, causing those who hear it to age prematurely. Subduing them requires a harmonious counter-chant, hidden within the lyre of a petrified bard standing on a cracked pedestal. Finding the bard's final sealed song scroll binds the monks, releasing them from their eternal sorrow.
- Traversing the cursed wine cellar, stacked with ancient barrels exhaling barely contained eldritch energy, the adventurers are assaulted by a horde of 2d6 irate, vine-twined vine blights. These malevolent beings seek to entomb the adventurers in bindings of feral flora. The largest barrel holds a secret—a spirit-djinni locked within, who can be an ally or adversary, depending on the deftness of handling its volatile wishes.
- In the grand but eerie throne room, adorned with faded tapestries of battles lost and won, the adventurers encounter 3d4 undead knights, remnants of a once-proud guard. These knights are cursed to relive their final moments and will attack anyone on sight unless convinced otherwise through intense roleplaying. Speak with them to learn of a hidden oubliette filled with treasure—or face their furious, spectral blades.
- There is an eerie silence in the castle. When the players investigate, they find that the castle is cursed and nobody is allowed to speak.
- You find a hidden garden flourishing beneath the ruins, maintained by 2d4 elves who seek solitude and will offer healing herbs if approached peacefully.
- In the heart of the candlelit banquet hall, amidst faded flickers and decaying opulence, adventurers confront 3d6 maddened lords and ladies revived from spectral feasts, each bearing poisoned chalices of woe. Their revelry entwines despair and joy with phantasmal peril. The banquet table’s central, supernatural candelabra conceals spectral bindings—a grasp upon its mystical flames may liberate or entrap souls eternally within the feast’s undying echoes.
- The sound of drums in the distance is heard.
- An ancient hall filled with enchanted tapestries showing a battle. Players must place themselves precisely as depicted to find hidden rooms or traps.
