D1 Random Cave Encounters
- 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.
- A group of 2d6 dwarves are sitting around a campfire. They are telling stories about their adventures in the depths of the dwarven kingdom. They will invite the players to join them around the campfire. If the players accept, they will tell them about a hidden treasure in the depths of the dwarven kingdom.
- An underground waterfall leads to a hidden grotto of withered willow spirits. Unveiling 2d6 dryads turns tactics into evening prayers mirroring the erosion of hope.
- Twisting turns lead to a cavern filled with the echoing cries of lost souls, a place thick with despair. Within, 2d6 poltergeists manifest, drawn to any form of light and sound. Marwen, an enchanted lute player, sits at the center, playing melodies to keep the spirits at bay. She can guide players through the dark paths, but first, they must retrieve her lost lute strings, scattered and guarded fiercely by the poltergeists.
- A group of 3d6 orcs are in the process of capturing horses and wolves. If players interfere, they will be attacked by the orcs and 1d6 wolves.
- A group of 3d6 humans are exploring the caverns. They are looking for an ancient evil that is hidden somewhere within the caverns. If players approach, the humans will fight.
- A group of 1d3+3 human soldiers have been captured by a group of hobgoblins. They are being held in the cave. The hobgoblins rant and rave at how stupid the humans are. The soldiers are tied up and begging to be freed from the hobgoblins.
- Faces on the rock wall once revered gods. The gloom betrays 2d4 gargoyles that attack in silence. Unlocking their ancient hymn is key, making each choice a dance between artifact and atrocity.
- You notice a faint trail of dried blood leading deeper into the cave.
- You find the remnants of an old campfire, now cold and abandoned.
