Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. You hear heavy pounding steps coming from the direction of the cave. If you look inside you will see a wolf with a hammer. The wolf is pounding on an anvil. He is a smith and has been hammering away for hours. A stream runs right by his cave and is the source of his water used for the forge. If the characters watch him long enough, he will finish with his hammer and then go to the stream to drink. If they offer him food or help, he will eagerly accept their help. He is a very friendly and helpful person. He is in charge of making weapons and armor for the tribe of wolves in the hills.
   
   
2. In the distance, you see a massive tower made entirely out of scrap metal and debris. As you explore, you realize it is actually a home for a group of giant mutants who worship a powerful deity of destruction. If you can prove yourself in battle, they may offer you a chance to join them.
   
   
3. An underground hot spring serves as a refuge for a brooding half-dragon who hides from bounty hunters. Combat or negotiation reveals the half-dragon's knowledge of dragon cult activities seeking to exploit underworld ley lines for their resurgence.
   
   
4. In a sunken temple, the players find a forgotten cult that worships a twisted deity. They offer knowledge in exchange for services, but the knowledge comes at the cost of someone’s betrayal.
