2. The echoing sound of dripping water draws you to a subterranean river leads to a stone bridge. Underneath, 3d6 ghostly ferrymen whisper of a forgotten war fought in a realm of shadows. If you pay the ferryman with a token of personal value, you can cross the river safely; otherwise, spectral hands attempt to pull you into the dark waters below.
   
   
3. The ground beneath their feet begins to quake as they enter a colossal geode housing a tribe of nomadic giants who are on the brink of war with a nearby ancient lich.

9. You find yourself in a web of obsidian-slick rocks as 3d4 dark naiads lure you toward their watery domain. Their charm can either enchant or kill—you must decide quickly.
   
   
10. In the silence of the stalagmite forest, 3d4 cavern-dwelling thieves are smuggling rare, dangerous spices that distort time. The air is thick with the scent of exotic herbs.
