D1 Random Cave Encounters

  1. A group of 2d4 pixies attack the players with an onslaught of arrows.

  2. You encounter an ancient minotaur guardian who offers a challenge of wits. Winning grants a boon of strength; losing traps your mind in a labyrinthine dream.

  3. There is a small room with a shrieking ghast and a treasure chest. If players decide to fight the ghast and win, they get to keep all the treasure in the chest. (Not magic items)

  4. A cavern containing a sunken ship reveals treasure below. Recovering items curses you with a weightless feeling, rendering jumping or levitating impossible.

  5. As the party enters a claustrophobic tunnel, flickering torchlight reveals the jagged shadows of stalactites above. Suddenly, the ground gives way, plunging them into a pit filled with 2d4 gibbering mouthers. The suffocating stench of decay and the low, guttural whispers fill the cave, creating a maddening backdrop. An ominous sense of desperation sets in as the one wrong move could mean a lingering death. Players must balance their actions between combat and the treacherous terrain.

  6. Players see a group of 1d4 goblins fighting over a small treasure.

  7. An ogre is sitting on the ground, picking his teeth with a dagger. If the players approach, he will stand up and ask them if they have seen his club. He will then tell them he lost it somewhere around here and wander off looking for it.

  8. Players come across a group of 2d4 wyverns who are nesting in a nearby cave. They will attack if the players get too close.

  9. A group of 1d4+2 kobolds are threatening to attack a group of 1d4+2 human nomads. The humans are trying to keep them at bay. If the players help, they can get some information on the local area and other parts of the world.

  10. D6+2 giant centipedes with venom.
