D1 Random Crypt Encounters
- Distant, uneven footsteps sound through the hallways. Stay hidden or prepare to face whatever might be wandering.
- Faint, ghostly tapping on the crypt's walls signify attempts to communicate. Mistranslating can incite anger or bring wisdom.
- The scent of burning incense masks a pervasive odor of decay. A brassiere sits in the center of a crypt, surrounded by remnants of a massive battle. Nearby, 3d6 skeleton mages weave malevolent spells in a fiery dance of flame and shadow. Engaging them could yield powerful artifacts, but their sudden coordinated assault might trap you in this inferno if your strategy falters.
- A group of 1d4 orcs are torturing a captured Human. They are trying to get him to confess to being a spy for the kobolds.
- The odor of freshly turned earth fills the air as players encounter a newly dug grave. In the grave lies a vampire in deep stasis. The vampire awakes pleading for their life, promising secrets about the crypt in exchange for sparing them and helping them defeat their rival.
- The players come across a strange creature that looks like a giant rat. If they investigate further, they will find it is actually a giant wererat.
- Eager eyes beyond the charred frame of a long-rotted door sense your approach. Stepping through causes the door to slamming shut, raising 2d6 flaming skeletal guardians.
- The party discovers a hidden chamber where 2d8 skeletons stand guard over what appears to be coffins filled not with corpses but with political prisoners, abducted and stored by a secretive faction of the ruling class. Questioning these prisoners exposes a network of corruption that extends all the way to the king’s advisors. Freeing them may lead to a dangerous hunt and a revolution.
- An eerie glow illuminates a corner where a phantom jester performs tricks. Any onlookers cannot help but laugh, even to the point of pain. The twist: The longer they watch, the quicker they age, as time is siphoned off by the jester’s spectral comedy.
- An eerily intact black cloth floats just above the ground, moving as though stirred by an invisible breeze. Touching it could bestow invisibility for a brief time, or it might smother the life force from those it ensnares.
