D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. While exploring a cave on the mountain, the players come across a group of kobolds hoarding a treasure. They may try to trick or bargain with the players, but they are not to be trusted.
   
   
2. A group of 2d4 orcs are arguing over food. If players approach, they will attack.
   
   
3. A traveling bard named Barden is telling jokes to the party. He's not very funny and no one is laughing.
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. The trail descends into a wide valley. A group of 1d6+5 orcs are standing on the trail. They are watching the trail for any players who might pass by.
   
   
6. A raging blizzard strikes the mountain, and the players must find shelter or risk freezing to death. However, the only shelter available is a haunted, abandoned cabin that is rumoured to be cursed.
   
   
7. On a wind-swept plateau, the party finds an unusual petrified forest. The trees are actually victims of a basilisk that serves a misanthropic sorcerer who buried a powerful artifact deep within the stony grove.
   
   
8. You stumble upon a group of monks who have been stranded on the mountain after their monastery was destroyed by an avalanche. They will offer to teach the players some new meditation techniques that can help them in battle.
   
   
9. The players come across a flock of griffins, who are known to be fiercely protective of their territory. They will not hesitate to attack anyone who gets too close, but the players may have a chance to earn their trust and possibly even ride them.
   
   
10. High up a sheer cliff ledge, the players spot a mysterious figure wrapped in tattered robes. The figure, a long-forgotten mage, cryptically offers a riddle. Solving it reveals a hidden cave filled with arcane treasures, while failure may bring down a magical misfortune.
