D1 Random Desert Encounters

1. Players come across a small, scorpion-like creature. If they help it get its young back from a nearby nest, it will give them information about a nearby dungeon.
   
   
2. You stumble upon a nomad camp. The nomads are sick. They are being tended to by a cleric. They say they were on their way to the city when they were struck by a sickness that caused them to fall ill. They are worried they are going to die. They were headed to the city because they thought the cleric there could help them.
   
   
3. A glowing cactus grove appears just before a powerful sandstorm strikes. Twist: The cacti emit a faint, calming field that dispels illusions and reveals hidden truths when their juice is imbibed.
   
   
4. A sudden, fierce sandstorm forces the party to find cover. They share a cramped hole with nervous desert foxes, sensing the presence of something more sinister lurking nearby.
   
   
5. A distant procession of monks, barefoot and grimacing yet determined to cross the desert without water, provides inspiration or sheer puzzlement.
   
   
6. A glint of metal buried in the dune reveals a ceremonial blade of a long-dead general, hinting at untapped tales of valor and pride.
   
   
7. An oddly straight line of cacti extends across your path, arranged in a manner that hints at ancient land-sculpting practices.
   
   
8. A gentle breeze carries the scent of spice and distant flowers, heralding the approaching caravan of traders. They offer exotic goods and tales from faraway lands, inviting the players to join them for a night of stories.
   
   
9. The players come across a tribe of nomads who offer them shelter and food if they will help them with a task.
   
   
10. The group encounters a nomadic tribe who tests their worthiness with a series of physical and intellectual challenges. Cooperation is key to winning the favor and possibly gaining valuable allies.
