Random Forest Encounters

D1 Random Forest Encounters

1. A group of 2d6 dwarves are lost. They will tell you that they are peaceful traders and that they are on their way to a nearby city. They will ask you to escort them to the city. Once there, they will offer to buy the players' items and pay them well for their trouble.
   
   
2. For some, the truth is more important than the facts. A passing cleric makes up a story about the local area.
   
   
3. A group of 1d4+4 bandits are sitting around a campfire drinking and celebrating their recent raid on a nearby village or town.
   
   
4. A group of halflings are walking down the path. If they are attacked they will fight back and then run away.
   
   
5. The party comes across a small village that is under siege by a group of hill giants and their giant wolves.
   
   
6. A large black dragon attacks. If players defeat it, they will find a bag of 100 gold in the dragon's stomach.
   
   
7. Deep within the forest, two men are sitting around a campfire, one is sitting in a chair while the other is sitting on the ground. The man sitting in the chair will ask any players if they would like to join him for dinner, which is nothing more than some small game he has caught while they were sitting around talking.
   
   
8. The party enters a grove where time behaves oddly, speeding up and slowing down at random intervals. Trees bloom and wither instantaneously, and their own heartbeat becomes erratic.
   
   
9. ZM - A group of 2d6 hunters ride in on horseback. The hunters are looking for a herd of wild boars that have been attacking their village.
   
   
10. A druid turned into stone. Freeing him from the curse returns the druid to nature, blessing players with the wisdom of the forest.
