Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. An ancient forge still glows with unholy fire. Forging any item here binds the player's soul to a dark covenant, awakening 2d6 iron wraiths who enforce the covenant with unforgiving resolve.
   
   
2. An ancient, abandoned temple suddenly appears before the party, emanating a powerful aura of magic. As they explore the ruins, they discover a hidden chamber with a powerful artifact, but they must also face the wrath of the undead guardians that protect it.
   
   
3. They find a merchant with a flying carpet that only hovers an inch above the ground and strictly refuses to go higher. Convincing the merchant to part with this stubborn vehicle involves a lot of creative selling points or pratfalls.
   
   
4. The players find a massively oversized rubber duck simply sitting in the sand, being worshipped by a clan of 1d4 bugbears. Stealing it means inciting the amusing wrath of the bugbear "priests," but might win the players a bathtub-sized mount.
