D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. The party sees a group of goblins. The goblins are wearing tunics but they have a dragon tattoo on the right side of their back. The party sees a ring of dragon scales on one of the goblins’ finger.
   
   
2. In the heart of the wasteland, the adventurers uncover a hidden glade animated by soft, whispering winds. Resting in the meadow is Birani, an angelic being bound in chains of shadow, cast there by an ancient, festering evil in the nearby mountain. Birani entrusts the players with three twinkling stars to place on altars within the mountain temple. Each altar frees a part of her essence. With Birani unbound, she showers the Wasteland with star light, revitalizing it with her divine grace. In gratitude, ever so ethereal, she gifts the players an astral gem that allows them to call upon radiant starlight to vanquish darkness.
   
   
3. A hollowed-out tree emits a pulsating glow. Upon closer inspection, the pulsing light is due to a swarm of 2d4 fireflies whispering warnings of a great war between giant insect swarms and humanoid factions. Disturb them and they summon a deadly goliath beetle.
   
   
4. A powerful sorcerer is looking for someone to help him find a special ingredient for a powerful spell. He offers a handsome reward to whoever can find it for him.
