D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. While traveling along a precarious ledge, the players are ambushed by a group of skilled mountain thieves. They must use their wits and weapons to fend off the attackers and make it through the treacherous terrain.
   
   
2. A group of 5 hobgoblins who are on the hunt for a monster, who they don't know is a player character. They will attack the players without question. If players save the monster, the hobgoblins will become their loyal servants. If they kill the monster, the hobgoblins will attack them.
   
   
3. The party comes across a group of soldiers from a local kingdom. They are headed towards the tower of Zan. They want to destroy the tower and everything in it, including the monks.
   
   
4. The path ahead is blocked by a group of gnolls. These are not random encounters. They are a scouting party for a larger horde of gnolls.
   
   
5. Two women are arguing over whether or not one of them stole a necklace from the other one. They will each accuse the other one of stealing and try to get other people involved in their fight.
   
   
6. A flight of pegasi descends from the higher altitudes, appearing curious but skittish. Only the most noble or gentle approach can earn their trust, offering the players an unparalleled viewpoint of the mountain's mysteries from the skies above.
   
   
7. Players come across a group of fishermen who have been fishing in a nearby lake. They have caught a lot of fish, but they have not been able to pull their fishing boat out of the water because a giant snake has been wrapped around it and has been sleeping on top of it. The fishermen are afraid to wake up the snake because they know that it will get angry and attack them.
   
   
8. A group of gnomish inventors are testing out their newest creation, a flying machine, but things quickly go awry and the players must help them land safely.
   
   
9. The adventurers find themselves surrounded by encroaching stone walls as the mountainside suddenly shifts. A mischievous earth elemental playing an elaborate game of hide-and-seek offers a reward if they can catch it. A risk, this path offers shortcuts through the mountain or binds players in a labyrinthine trap.
   
   
10. A group of halfling hunters are on their way to sell their furs and meat to an nearby village. The hunters are willing to trade with the players but will only trade with them if they have furs and meat to trade with them in return.
