201 D&D Random Air Encounters

D1 Random Elemental Plane of Air Encounters

1. A group of three dragons appears in the sky. The dragons are friendly and offer to take the party to any destination they wish. They can also provide protection from other creatures in the Elemental Plane of Air.
   
   
2. While flying through a storm, a party member gets struck by lightning. He/she might gain some sort of electrical power, or become very angry at the storm, or become paranoid about being struck again and stay away from thunderstorms for the rest of their lives.
   
   
3. The party hears a sharp twang! and a sound like something has been shot from the sky into the earth below. It was probably a hunting arrow shot by a high-level ranger.
   
   
4. You see a flock of giant eagles soaring in the sky. They will swoop down if the PCs draw attention to themselves.
   
   
5. Players witness a convergence of migratory wind-whales, guided by ancient mist sirens who protect this event fiercely. Interacting constructively may grant profound understanding of planar currents or, if intrusive, evoke retaliatory storms.
   
   
6. The party is approached by a group of merfolk who are searching for a legendary underwater city rumored to hold powerful artifacts. They offer to trade information or assistance in exchange for the players' help in finding the city.
   
   
7. The players come across a group of peaceful air elementals who offer to guide them to their leader, a powerful djinn who has been cursed by a wicked sorcerer. The players must find a way to break the curse and save the djinn from a life of eternal servitude.
   
   
8. Players find themselves standing on the edge of a floating city in the clouds.
   
   
9. A crystalline structure floats in the distance, acting as a conduit between worlds. Utilizing it hastens your journey but may draw planar hunters attracted to the energy surge.
   
   
10. Whirled by phantom winds, the players stumble upon clues about the stolen Crown of the Sky Sovereign hidden within a spectral air temple. The temple’s acolytes—five ethereal air priests—guard multiple illusions masking the artifact. Each fragile truce formed within the temple’s thundering heart grants or restrains unwitting trust.
