D1 Random Desert Encounters
- A group of 1d4+1 mummies are slowly walking across the desert. If the players don't move away, the mummies will attack them.
- The players hear a loud roar coming from the dunes. If they investigate, they will find a black dragon perched atop a dune. It will demand a tribute from the party.
- You find a large desert city ruled by a powerful wizard, who will allow players access to the city in exchange for magical items.
- The players come across a group of 4d6 wild animals who will attack them if they get too close. The animals appear to be under some sort of enchantment, and it is up to the players to figure out what is happening and how to break the enchantment.
- A group of 3d4 sphinxes have been spotted in the area. They are searching for treasure and will attack anyone who gets too close.
- Shamans in distant lands beseeched blessings lost within these desolate tracks. Tiny, mundane relics left inconsequential by passing travelers often reveal broader world connections over mundane daily struggles and victories.
- The players discover an old temple that is said to be inhabited by a powerful djinn.
- An enormous rattlesnake sunbathing on a rock formation seems to be guarding a hidden stash. It may be treasure, or something far more sinister, like a nest of even larger, magical snakes.
- At the foot of a vast dune, the remnants of an ancient wagon train lay half-buried in the sand. It appears to be scavenged by two to three vultures, which squawk alarmingly, revealing a trapped traveler beneath one of the wrecks.
- A lone vulture perches on a sign saying, "Free desert tours. No prey, no gain."
