Random Forest Encounters

D1 Random Forest Encounters

1. A group of 2d6 halflings are looking for mushrooms.
   
   
2. A man on a horse with two men on foot approach the players and request that they help them find their lost brother who was separated from them while they were hunting in the forest. Their names are Samuel, Samuel Jr., and Samuel Sr. They are poor farmers who were just trying to feed their family when they lost their brother in the woods after he was attacked by an animal during their hunt. They have been searching for him for 3 days now, but they fear that he has been taken by a monster or other men because he went missing in the direction of a village that has been plagued by a monster for almost a decade now.
   
   
3. A tree with yellow fruit. If eaten, the players will feel extremely happy and they will have disadvantage on all rolls on their next turn.
   
   
4. An incredibly fast chipmunk named Speedy challenges the adventurers to a race. If beaten, he gifts the winner an enchanted acorn that grants a temporary speed boost.
   
   
5. A group of 2d4 Knights is on the road, heading for some town/city that has been attacked by a horde of Goblins. The knights will be happy to help the party defeat the horde of goblins and will fight alongside of them. They will also provide them with information on the town/city that they are headed to, information that they would not normally give to strangers. The Knights will ask the party if they want to join the Knights and help defend the town/city. If the party says yes, they will invite the party to come along with them back to the city/town. Once they get there, the Knights will introduce the party to their leader and explain to the party how they can join the Knights by becoming a squire. The party's role as a squire will be to carry their leader's stuff and to do whatever they're told. The party will be taught basic combat skills and will be used to help fight off any attacks against the Knights or their allies. If the party refuses to join the Knights, the Knights will either help them fight off the horde of goblins (if the party needs help) or will leave on their own.
   
   
6. A merchant is walking down the trail. He is carrying a large sack of gold. He is being followed by three bandits. The merchant is tired and is ready to give up his gold. If the players intervene, they will receive 1d6x10x10 gold pieces as a reward. If the players do not intervene, the bandits will attack and kill the merchant.
