D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. A desolate mountaintop holds the ruins of a dragon’s lair. The dragon's spirit haunts the place, seeking vengeance on those who disrespected its hoard. Assuaging the dragon's wrath by avenging it or laying its spirit to rest may open the path to incredible treasures.
   
   
2. A tribe of barbarians has set up camp at the base of the mountain, preparing for a pilgrimage to the peak to perform a sacred ritual. They are always looking for strong warriors to join them on their journey and will offer rewards for anyone who helps them.
   
   
3. The party hears a low, rumbling chant and discovers a marble balcony nestled in a cliff’s face, where cultists of a long-dead dragon conduct secret rites intending to resurrect their ancient liege.
   
   
4. The players come across a hot spring where a group of frost giants have set up a relaxing camp. However, the giants don't take kindly to visitors, and the players must find a way to avoid their wrath.
   
   
5. A strong gust of wind suddenly picks up, causing the players to lose their footing and tumble down the mountain. As they try to regain their balance, they notice a group of robed figures chanting at the top of the mountain, controlling the winds with their magic.
   
   
6. The air grows thin as you reach a monastery suspended between peaks, held by enchanted bridges. The reclusive monks brew a legendary tea to deepen your mystic senses and aid a journey fraught with celestial conflicts. Knowledge of the brew comes only to those serving their divine cause.
   
   
7. 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.
   
   
8. A group of mercenaries are on their way to a nearby city to sell their services as guards. They will offer to hire the players as guards to the city they are travelling to. The mercenaries are not very good at their job and they will ask the players to help them learn how to be better guards.
   
   
9. A group of adventurers are stranded on a mountain peak, and they need the players' help to get down safely. However, not all is as it seems, and they may have ulterior motives.
   
   
10. Venturing through towering ice caverns, players stir a hibernating white dragon. This formidable beast believes the players are intruders on its territory. None can flee its wrath unaided—but perhaps showing respect or insight into its ancient history can win its favor, or at the very least, a delaying parley.
