D1 Random Crypt Encounters

1. Among the crypt’s ancient, labyrinthine passages, an eerie chant resonates. Investigating reveals acolytes of a long-forgotten cult performing a ritual. Interrupting them results in the summoning of their 2d6 skeletal followers; aiding them in their prayer can lead to arcane secrets or potential alliances.
   
   
2. Rusted shackles hang from the walls of an old cell. Embedded within one is a gemstone that glows with magical energy when touched.
   
   
3. Players hear the sound of singing on the other side of a locked door. If they search for a way to open the door, they will find that the lock is complex and very difficult to pick open. By the time they get through, there's nothing to be found on the other side. The sound was a ghost trying to spook the party.
   
   
4. The creak of phantom armor echoes through the crypt; was it a trick of light or an ancient watchdog's actual patrolling?
   
   
5. The eerie silence is broken by the faint sound of weeping. It's a banshee mourning her lost love. She can be reasoned with if players can show empathy, but anger her, and she’ll unleash her deadly wail.
   
   
6. You enter a room and find a group of lizardmen arguing over a strange piece of technology. They will attack if provoked.
   
   
7. The slight hum of arcane forces seeps through the broad oaken door, whispering insight or misconstruing truths; wisdom or madness rest uneasily beside friendship.
   
   
8. A river of glowing green ectoplasm flowing through the crypt. The twist: It can be safely navigated using spectral boats that form out of whispered incantations; however, the river's spirits try to draw adventurers overboard for companionship.
   
   
9. The players find themselves in a hall with a cursed chessboard wherein the pieces are ancient warriors frozen in time. Defeating the enchanted knights in a strategic game of chess—or combat, should they lose—grants them a piece of an artifact that can control time in small increments.
   
   
10. A long-abandoned campfire in a small chamber hints that others have been here. Searching the ash reveals a small, charred diary with hints about the trap in the next room.
