D1 Random Desert Encounters

1. A merchant prince's caravan, failing from the sands, loudly debates desert survival strategies that feel aggressively plagiarized from a baking recipe.
   
   
2. Near a dried-up riverbed, the party encounters the remnants of a fierce battle. Discarded weapons and armor litter the ground. Examining the scenes might reveal clues of a larger conflict between two desert clans rumored to be warring.
   
   
3. A group of 2d6+2 goblins are scouting. They are looking for a place to set up an ambush.
   
   
4. A pair of strange and powerful creatures who call themselves the Desert Twins appear in the desert. They offer to grant a wish to those who can solve their magical riddle.
   
   
5. The players find a birdbath with "Desert Bird Spa."
   
   
6. Eerie notes from wind chimes tethered between ruins reveal trickster elements at play, either fair fortune promise or utter mirages.
   
   
7. Obsidian shards lie scattered. These remnants of a volcanic past house minor fire elementals that may either bless or burn.
   
   
8. Furrows in the landscape hint at the winsome, wandering nature of giant desert turtles, though not around.
   
   
9. Players find a caravanserai. Staying here allows them rest and refreshment, but they notice that each item they touch leaves an indelible, glowing mark on their bodies. Twist: They must figure out how to cleanse these marks before local desert spirits take notice.
   
   
10. An ominous crack in the earth reveals a cooler, shaded crevice. However, it is home to a trio of basilisks, and the party must decide whether to risk clearance for the promise of cooler respite.
