D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. On a narrow mountain path, the ground trembles as a majestic bronze dragon lands with a resounding thud. The dragon, with scales reflecting the sunlight, demands a toll for passing through its domain. If the players can impress the dragon with tales of their heroics or a rare artifact offering, it may let them pass unscathed.
   
   
2. While exploring a cave, the party comes across a large, ancient dragon asleep on a pile of treasure. If they can successfully sneak past it, they can take some treasure without waking it. But if they wake it up, they will have to fight for their lives.
   
   
3. The echo of battle calls you to a remote arena where spectral warriors endlessly clash, reliving glory days past. A grandmaster of blade and spell strikes a deal, offering to train any who can best one of his ghostly champions.
   
   
4. The players come across a huge boulder blocking their path. As they try to figure out how to move it, a group of gnolls attack from behind. The gnolls have been using the boulder as a trap to ambush unsuspecting travelers.
   
   
5. A group of traveling merchants are selling rations to the players. The merchants are hoping to make a sale to the party. The rations are actually poisons disguised as food. The merchants are hoping to make a profit off of someone getting killed by the poison.
   
   
6. A group of traveling musicians is making their way through the mountains and they offer to perform for the players in exchange for shelter and protection. However, their instruments hold a hidden power that might come in handy during their journey.
   
   
7. A group of mountain druids are performing a ritual to appease a nearby volcano. However, it is not working and eruptions are becoming more frequent and violent. The players must uncover the source of the problem and find a way to stop it.
   
   
8. The party feels the earth shaking beneath their feet, and before them, a colossal purple worm bursts from the ground. Navigating its lair may yield precious treasures but guarantees a deadly escape sequence.
   
   
9. The players find a small clearing in the mountains. It is a small, circular clearing. In the center of the clearing rests a small shrine. It is made of stone, and has a single word written on it: 'Faith'. This clearing is being used by traveling monks as a resting place. They are kind, inquisitive men and will offer the players food and drink if they are hungry and thirsty.
   
   
10. An ancient dragon skeleton lies at the top of the mountain, with a powerful artifact embedded in its ribcage. The players must navigate through traps and puzzles to retrieve the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.
