Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. A small group of tentacle monsters are attacking a town. They attack anyone who gets in the way, since they aren't able to talk. The tentacle monsters are looking for something important to them. They are attacking the town because the town is close by where the items were stolen.
   
   
2. Distant chanting grows louder as players approach a circle of hooded figures. The cultists are performing a dark ritual to summon an ancient demon. If the ritual is interrupted, 3d6 shadow demons will attack. If allowed to finish, only one emerges, but it’s considerably more powerful.
   
   
3. A strange dome of energy surrounds a small area in the wasteland. As the party approaches, they hear the sounds of a boisterous party and smell delicious food cooking. But when they enter the dome, they find no one and nothing but an abandoned feast.
   
   
4. A group of 2d6+1 gnolls is hunting a group of 2d6+1 goblins. The gnolls are tracking the goblins and have been following them for a while. The gnolls will catch up with the goblins after 3 hours. The gnolls are mounted on large hawks and are flying above the goblins (60 to 150 feet above), looking down at them while they are walking. The gnolls have trained hawks, which they use as flying mounts. The hawks are carrying a small bag of food on their back. The gnolls will try to attack the party with the hawks before attacking with their spears. The gnolls have been hunting for years and if they die, will be replaced with new gnolls who will continue to search for the goblins.
