D1 Random Cave Encounters
- A group of 2d4+2 humans are praying for guidance. They believe that the gods will lead them to treasure if they pray hard enough.
- Enchantment illuminating altar entangled by tarnished mosaics guiding empathetic dire wolves through life-bound fables, chained and mold deranged subterranean peril.
- A small adventuring party of humans will be sitting around a campfire. They have been stuck in the cave for 2 days and have been advised by a friendly gnome to go down a different area of the cave if they want to leave. If the players ask them for help they will not be happy to be interrupted.
- A group of 1d6 goblins led by a hobgoblin boss are in the middle of a ritual to summon a devil. The party will be in the middle of it when it's finished and the devil appears, who won't be happy about being summoned by goblins.
- A goblin is walking down the hall singing a goblin song. He is drunk. He will have 2d6 goblins with him carrying items and supplies.
- A Goblin is pretending to be an Elf. He is standing on top of a rock above the waterfall by the koi fish pond. A small bean bag is tucked into his belt pouch. If they attack him, he will throw the bean bag into the air to reveal his true identity!
- A cavern's glittering mineral deposits house 2d8 xorn foraging for gems, feeling possessive. The grinding rock vibrations intensifying the air. Negotiating fixes a deeper route to mineral veins; failure disrupts their primal peace.
- A large snake slithers down the path ahead of the players, followed by a small group of 1d4 goblins that are trying to catch it! The goblins will attack the players if they get in the way.
- A hidden alcove reveals a tiny underground spring.
- The players find a small, circular hole in the cave wall. It leads to a small cave that is inhabited by 1d6+2 giant rats. They will attack when the players are within 20 feet of them.
