D1 Random Desert Encounters

1. A shimmering phoenix feather lies atop a dune, but the bird is nowhere to be seen.
   
   
2. A group of men are hunting for food. They have been lost for days. They are tired and hungry. If players get involved, the men will follow them and do what they say as long as they are alive.
   
   
3. Stumbling upon a sand sculpture that says, "No feet draggers allowed!"
   
   
4. A group of 2d8 men and women, dressed as desert merchants, are standing around talking. They are traveling to the nearest village. If approached, they will be friendly, but wary. They are not merchants at all. They are members of a secret society who are doing reconnaissance on the surrounding area.
   
   
5. A dead oasis guarded by a spirit naga.

7. A sand dune conceals a statue. The statue is of an unknown god. It looks like it was chiseled by dwarves.
   
   
8. An old map hinting at a buried basilisk relic.
   
   
9. A lowly merchant offers to trade strange and rare items, but his goods are enchanted to bind the user’s soul to an ancient desert deity’s will.
   
   
10. The distant humming of insects becomes briefly audible before fading away.
