D1 Random City Encounters
- The city’s docks are bustling with sailors and traders, but one ship stands out, rumored to be haunted. The captain seeks brave souls to investigate the nightly disturbances aboard his vessel.
- Barry the Bear-Watcher, a druid with a mania for bears, is horrified to discover circus bears loose in town. He enlists the players in a dramatic, comical, and ultimately sweet-hearted rescue mission.
- Wagon with a group of 4 halflings. They are trying to sell their latest invention: a device that will suck the water out of any type of terrain. They are looking for investors.
- Behind a cloister of serene marble columns, an alchemical shop offers potions with unsettling side effects. Lethargic customers emerge speaking in tongues and recount jumbled memories. The owner, a seemingly benign alchemist, appears analog in this digital existence. Before the shop opens each morning, 3d6 potions animate into parasitic beings craving to merge with hosts. These creatures hint at greater alchemical corruption within the City’s framework. Decisions here can shape either bolstering defenses or falling prey to identity-eroding infestations.
- A street performer’s magic show goes awry, summoning 1d4 fire sprites that begin to ignite nearby rubbish. Work with the crowd to contain it or flee to safety.
- A stranded group of sailors seek the players' help to find a rare ingredient for a powerful healing potion. However, the ingredient can only be found in a dangerous underwater cave.
- A local merchant is selling an exotic fruit for 1d4 gp each. He says it is an exotic fruit from a faraway land. The fruit is actually an orange from a local orchard, but he hopes to sell some of his stock before anyone catches on to the scam.
- A group of noblemen are taking a stroll through the city. They will run into the players and invite them to their party that night. If the players accept, they will be treated like kings and queens for the night. If they decline, they will be scowled at and told to go away.
- A group of thieves are trying to rob a wealthy merchant's shop. If players stop them, the merchant will offer them a valuable item as a reward.
- A group of people are selling 'magical' potions and scrolls. They are actually selling potions that induce laughter and cause paralysis.
