D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. A group of drunken dwarven brawlers are celebrating their victory against a nearby dragon. They want to do something silly like throw their axes at the tree next to them.
   
   
2. The party comes across a mysterious temple hidden deep in the mountains. The entrance is guarded by a fearsome dragon who demands a tribute of gold and magical items in order to allow them to enter. If they are successful in appeasing the dragon, they may uncover ancient artifacts and treasure within the temple.
   
   
3. A group of 2d6 goblins are arguing over food. If players approach, they will attack.
   
   
4. A series of peculiar pictographs on a flat rock reveals an ancient dwarven plan for a fortress lost to time. Following these cryptic diagrams can uncover the hidden entrance to the fortress, glittering with precious artifacts yet guarded by mechanical sentinels.
   
   
5. A herd of mountain goats are blocking the path, and they seem determined to not let the players pass. Will the players try to find another way around or confront the goats?
   
   
6. Strangely colorful birds lead you to a lush oasis—a thriving garden managed by 2d4 dryads who treat it as a sacred refuge. They protect a rare flora species rumored to cure any ailment but require a token of pure intent to share it.
   
   
7. Unexpected travelers are warned to turn back. They are told that the mountain is haunted, and that no man has ever passed this point. The warning is a lie. There is nothing ahead. It is a trap to lure adventurers into the hands of the bandit group who live here.
   
   
8. The party sees a group of 2d4 humans. They are carrying food and supplies for the journey up the mountain.
   
   
9. The party comes across a large field where several hundred soldiers are conducting training exercises under the watchful eye of several captains and generals.
   
   
10. A patch of ground nearby is covered in footprints, leading to a nearby cave entrance. The players can see that these are goblin footprints.
