201 D&D Random Air Encounters

D1 Random Elemental Plane of Air Encounters

1. The party receives a whispered summon on the wind, guiding them to a meeting. A sky-mage named Tyvon, hiding from a local warlord, needs their help to steal back his spellbook. The warlord’s Aerial Spire bristles with three storm mephits and two windstriders patrolling its trailing edges, offering roleplay choices to sneak or fight.
   
   
2. A man is standing on top of a cloud. He is wearing a white robe. He looks like an angel. His name is Gabriel. He is a messenger of God. He warns the players that they must turn back or they will suffer the wrath of God and the angels in Heaven.
   
   
3. You detect the scent of ozone, heralding a nearby storm elemental. The attuned may offer tribute to pass peacefully, while defiance might draw its ire.
   
   
4. You notice little popping sounds of spring seeds bursting into ethereal pollen before drifting off.
   
   
5. A group of 2d4+2 giant vultures attack the players.
   
   
6. A winding path of 2d6 floating candle flames, marking out an unknown destination.
   
   
7. The air turns thick with humidity as 3d6 Water Weirds, coalesced from high-altitude clouds, rise from misty cloud banks, striking out with serpentine bodies at anyone passing through their vaporous realm.
   
   
8. The sky darkens and appears to be full of insects. The PCs must cover their ears or suffer 3d8 points of damage from the sound of the insects. The insects are actually a swarm of tiny pixies in their natural form. They are looking for friends to play with.
   
   
9. A mysterious sandstorm appears, seemingly coming from nowhere. As the players get closer, they hear the sound of a flute being played. They must follow the sound and face the powerful bard responsible for the storm.
   
   
10. A large, black bird flies overhead. It seems to be crying and wailing, but nothing can be heard.
