D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Amid a wasteland of endlessly undulating dunes and sudden sinkholes, players find an extraordinary gem-studded cavern. Here, a dragon made of crystal and sand mankind's ancient seismic tomb rests. Deciphering the geological riddles within these tombs grants knowledge for geomantic manipulation and valuable treasures.
   
   
2. A cloud of toxic gas approaches the party, forcing them to quickly find shelter. They must work together to cover their mouths and navigate through the hazmat-covered wasteland.
   
   
3. Four hobgoblins, loudly lambasting their king's idiotic policies, offer bounties for ludicrously minor acts against their regime. Feeding on their rebellion might yield support in coin or arms, refusing draws punitive strikes by ten loyalist hobgoblins.
   
   
4. In the middle of nowhere, a vibrant masquerade ball is held suddenly and without warning, presided over by 1d12 masked nobles whose faces shift to match the players’ worst fears. The nobles claim to be remnants of an old, whimsical court fated to wander the Wasteland. Joining the ball can reveal hidden strengths and transform weaknesses but risks players becoming permanent participants in this eternal dance.
