D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Skirting around a crumbling fortress, your party hears the cries of captives. As you investigate, you must navigate a deadly minefield. Solving the captives' plight reveals they hold knowledge of an underground cult destabilizing the nearby region with dark rituals.
   
   
2. Along a desolate path, players find 3d6 skeletal warriors eternally guarding their cursed treasure. A bitter betrayal in life binds them to this duty, and the players must break the cycle to claim the reward.
   
   
3. An old and wise human woman named Greetings is sitting by the road looking for travelers to give a message to. She is waiting for someone, but she cannot remember who. She will say that she is lost and will ask if she can follow the party to their town. She will say that she has a reward for the party for delivering her message. She will try to get the party to trust her and follow her to her home. She will say that her home is just over the hill, but the journey will take about 3 days. She will encourage the party to stay at her home, but once the party arrives at her home, it will be empty and she will run away and disappear into thin air. If a PC searches her home, they will find a journal written about her and about a half mile away from her home, there is a grave that says: "So long Greetings."
   
   
4. Under a blood-red sky, players encounter a hermit who speaks of a looming apocalypse engineered by a hidden cabal. He offers cryptic advice but is soon revealed to be a double agent sent to mislead wanderers into traps set by his masters.
