D1 Random Cave Encounters

1. A group of men in black robes are standing around a large fire in a cave. They are laughing and drinking. If players get close, they will attack with magic missiles and fireballs.
   
   
2. Bands of goblins are walking through the caves. They are making lots of noise and are carrying on. If the party attacks them, no less than 20 will emerge from their hiding places to attack.
   
   
3. The players discover a trapdoor leading to a wizard's hidden sanctum filled with knowledge and treasures. The catch? Access demands the players endure a terrible polymorph curse that leaves one member of the party an abomination for the rest of their life.
   
   
4. Players find a group of 2d4 gnomes who are mining for gems. If players get too close, they will be attacked.
   
   
5. The path unwinds to an underground cauldron pool surrounded by strange carvings. Here, 3d4 lava elementals emerge from the magma, spewing fragments of history imprinted on rock. By engaging these fiery guardians, players can unlock volcanic mysteries or risk succumbing to fiery torrents that distort space-time.
   
   
6. Several large, damp stalactites hang precariously from the ceiling.
   
   
7. The walls pulse with bioluminescent algae, illuminating snakelike trails. 1d4 spirit nagas challenge the party with cryptic riddles and psychic threats. Winning their favor grants information on an upcoming arcane celestial alignment, while failure invokes a psychic curse.
   
   
8. In a narrow passage, you find a common sight in caves: a minor rockslide. Under the rubble, you hear faint clicking sounds coming from 1d6 giant spiders trying to dig themselves out. You can risk helping them or take a detour, potentially alerting other threats in the cave.
   
   
9. A distant chant unveils a morbid nursery where 1d8 boggarts obsess over lost children eternally bound by curses. Freeing these sad spirits renders the boggarts weak but unravels horric knowledge of ancient wizardly manipulations and previously hidden cave pathways.
   
   
10. Phantom howls resound through unsupported cavern arches, defining final confrontation with one saddened cave drake protector. Navigating tears unwound, exposing poignant pasts and prophesied crossroads.
