Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. In the distance, the party sees a very large party of men who look like bandits. They are either being followed by a few other bandits or they are the main group of bandits. They are headed towards the party's destination. There are 20 to 30 carrying swords and shields. These people are actually traveling merchants who are hoping to start a trade route.
   
   
2. In the heart of a dead city, the party discovers a group of sentient robots who have gained self-awareness. They are seeking a new purpose and will follow the party if they prove themselves worthy allies.
   
   
3. A group of 1d6+2 ogres riding on horseback and looking for food. They will try to kill anyone they encounter.
   
   
4. A trio of desert gnolls is pranking travelers by pretending to be menacing yet hilariously blunder constantly in an endearing manner. Correcting them might make them loyal comedic minions.
