D1 Random Mountain Encounters

1. Farther up, a group of mountain goats seems surprisingly unafraid, almost guiding you towards a ritual circle of standing stones. Here, a conclave of druids performs ancient rites to keep a slumbering dragon beneath in check. They need capable assistants.
   
   
2. A group of 1d4 men are sitting around a campfire, roasting meat and singing songs about their adventures in the mountains they have survived in their youth.
   
   
3. A formation of jagged rocks inexplicably slides aside to reveal a shimmering portal. Stepping through, you find yourself in a timeless bubble where elementals of air and earth clash. Mediating their fierce rivalry could win you a powerful elemental boon.
   
   
4. A group of hunters with a pack of trained wolves and hunting dogs, looking for game. They are headed down the trail and will ask if you have seen any game in the area. If you lie, they'll ask you again.
   
   
5. A misty plateau reveals the remnants of an ancient battlefield, weapons strewn about. The spectral warriors, locked in eternal combat, challenge you to defeat their leader. Win and they grant you a relic of immense power. Lose, and you join their ghostly ranks.
   
   
6. Deep in the mountain heart, the party encounters an illusory terrain being manipulated by a scheming beholder seeking treasures hidden in the mountain caves through guile and mind control.
   
   
7. At a narrow mountain pass, you find a boulder with mysterious runes. Touching it causes an underground passage to open. Within lies a subterranean garden tended by a solitary dryad who offers you rare herbs in exchange for stories from the outside world.
   
   
8. After a heavy snowfall, the players come across a group of dwarves struggling to dig out their caravan from the snow. They are transporting valuable goods and will reward the players handsomely if they help them dig out the caravan and protect it from any potential bandits.
   
   
9. An elderly monk appears in front of the players, begging for their help. A powerful necromancer has taken over his monastery and is using dark magic to turn the monks into mindless zombies. The players must navigate through the treacherous monastery and defeat the necromancer before it’s too late.
   
   
10. As thunder roars and lightning cracks across the ridge, the adventurers spot a celestial stag, its antlers radiating with residual storm energy. Rumored to turn hunters into stone, this majestic creature will guide the party to an ancient weather-controlling artifact, but only if they earn its trust through a test of their honor and courage.
