201 D&D Random Air Encounters

D1 Random Elemental Plane of Air Encounters

1. Between thin veils, murmurings of a half-forgotten sovereign permeate. Respect begets gratitude; derision earns unrelenting enmity.
   
   
2. A small convoy of 2d4 airships captained by 3d10 sky pirates sails by, keeping a wary eye on your party.
   
   
3. Suddenly, the sky around the players warps and pulses with colors that seem to have sound, scent, and taste. They’ve stumbled into a region where feeling and reality meld due to the presence of a sentient synesthetic whirlwind. This being demands the players craft a song from the colors and scents it sustains itself on. Failure to impress the whirlwind results in it hurling them into chaotic, unpredictable currents. Complicating matters, the song must also tell the legend of the Wind Sisters—two demi-goddesses whose power shapes the plane itself. Depending on the performance, the players may either be granted a single wish or find themselves forever attuned to the chaotic winds.
   
   
4. A tumultuous storm engulfs the players, with 2d6 air elementals appearing and attacking viciously. “Looks like the winds of fate are not in your favor today!”
   
   
5. The players come across a floating island inhabited by a colony of peaceful cloud giants. However, the giants are being terrorized by a powerful cloud dragon, and the players must choose whether to help the giants or side with the dragon.
   
   
6. Suspended in the vast sky, a storm giant's abandoned floating fortress drifts aimlessly, guarded by 2d6 storm elementals. Exploring the fortress may yield ancient weather-controlling artifacts but could also rouse the storm elementals’ wrath.
   
   
7. An aquatic dragon leaping from cloud to cloud in pursuit of an air whale.
   
   
8. A lone eagle is perched on top of a cloud. If the players approach it, it will fly away.
   
   
9. In the eerie tranquility of a cloud cavern, the players encounter Banshee Lyra, fiercely defending against thundering legions of rogue vortices. The air hums with the sheer tension of combat and imminent collapse. Helping Lyra sees victory steeped in the song of the air, and her melancholic stories of betrayal by her kin reflect the harsh nature of the Elemental Plane of Air. She hints at a forbidden alliance altering the balance of power.
   
   
10. A procession of spectral warriors appears, each soul lost to the void. They beckon you to honor their memory with a solemn rite, for which you might receive their blessing—or their curse, should you fail.
