D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. As the players are making their way through the mountains, they stumble upon a group of 1d4+2 trolls. The trolls will immediately demand a toll for passing through their territory. If the players can outsmart the trolls or offer them a valuable item, they may be able to pass without paying the toll.
   
   
2. Emerging from a treeline, your party encounters a bizarre anomaly: an enormous, perfectly round hole bored deep into the mountain. It’s the lair of a burrowing roc that guards a cluster of eggs—each containing powerful elemental spirits.
   
   
3. The players come upon a small village on the side of a mountain. The village is in ruins, with only one structure still standing. That structure is an inn. When the players go into the inn, they will find a man named Jick who is being held against his will by a group of goblins. The goblins are using him as a cook and as a source of entertainment.
   
   
4. Players find a group of men fighting a group of 4d4 kobolds. The kobolds are trying to steal the men's chickens and goats.
   
   
5. A mysterious fog settles over the mountain, making it difficult to see and navigate. The party must rely on their other senses and intuition to find their way, and they may come across strange creatures within the fog.
   
   
6. A frost giant from the highest peak of the mountain is attacking you.
   
   
7. A sudden, blinding blizzard forces you into a cave where a fire salamander resides. It seeks warmth amidst the biting cold, an anomaly reflecting a great disturbance in the fire realms. It requires assistance in balancing elemental forces.
   
   
8. The players see a group of harpies swooping down towards them, their haunting voices filling the air. The harpies try to charm the players with their songs, but if the players can resist, they may be able to defeat them and find a hidden nest with valuable treasures.
   
   
9. The players stumble upon an abandoned temple dedicated to a long-forgotten deity. Inside, they find a hidden chamber with valuable treasures, but they must also face the wrath of the deity, which has been guarding the treasure for centuries.
   
   
10. A group of goats are blocking the path, seemingly determined to keep travelers from passing through. As the players approach, they hear a booming voice say, "Halt! Only those who solve our riddles may pass through this mountain!" The goats then proceed to ask each player a riddle, with the prize being safe passage through the mountain. However, if they fail to answer correctly, they must pay a toll or face being head-butted off the mountain.
