D1 Random Cave Encounters
- D4 goblins are running from a D6+4 Orcs.
- Illuminated by soft bioluminescent moss, the party stumbles upon 2d6 kobold children hiding and playing games. Drawn to the adventurers' lantern light, they cherish the stories of the party's meetings and introduce their adoptive minotaur parent who fiercely protects them.
- A strange noise echoes out of the cave, a strange mix of a hiss and a roar. If players investigate, they find a sleeping dragon. The dragon will be friendly if the players feed it.
- A larger chamber opens, dominated by the sad hymn of 1d6 Galeb Duhr mourning their lost roots. Combat or dialogue shapes their perception of loss and rebirth.
- The players come across two kobold scouts who are standing watch over this area of the cave. If players get too close, they will sound the alarm and wake up their sleeping comrades.
- Past the labyrinth-like caverns, the players find a protected trove guarded by 3d8 minotaurs wandering sacred halls sporting ancient horns. The hallowed air ignites senses. Seeking consent earns grand relics; fighting desecrates the domain.
- They encounter a chamber possessing ancient celestial carvings roamed by 2d6 celestial archons enforcing divine law underground. The air vibrates with hallowed power. Consorting grants wisdom of heaven's aims; disobedience invokes holy conflict.
- A group of 3d6 ogres are in the process of making their final preparations for a raid on a nearby dungeon complex. If players interfere, they will be attacked by the ogres and 1d4 giants.
- You find faint scratch marks leading to a niche in the wall, where 2d4 troglodytes are organizing a coup. Players may negotiate for information or choose to snuff them out. The direction they take could alter the balance of power in the cave network.
- A group of 1d4+2 dwarves and their war dogs are patrolling the area around their tunnel, which is nearby...they will try to force the players to accompany them to their tunnel and stand guard there for one week...if players refuse or try to escape, they will attack!
