Random Wasteland Encounters + Generator (DND 5e)

D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. A group of survivors beg for the players' help as they are being chased by a swarm of giant mutated bees. The players can choose to help or leave the survivors to their fate, but the bees are guarding a hidden hive filled with valuable honey and potions.
   
   
2. At high noon, the shadows of the players begin to move independently, mimicking past actions and battles. The players' alter shadows, cursed guardians of an ancient kingdom, can be communicated with, revealing forgotten dialogues of past kings and queens. Confronting or aiding these sentient shadows releases a burst of previously stored divine energies, affecting world events elsewhere in the realm.
   
   
3. As the adventurers cross a barren dune, they encounter a cadre of five animated scarecrows stitched together from mismatched farm clothes. The scarecrows insist they are on an urgent mission to retrieve the head of their Scarecrow King, stolen by a flock of three dozen carrion crows. These bizarre creatures promise a "cornucopia" treasure if helped, but somehow fail to mention that the crows are known to be agents of an ancient, long-dead necromancer trying to retake the Wasteland.
   
   
4. The party discovers a group of survivors holed up in an abandoned bunker, who are being attacked by a horde of ghouls. The survivors are running low on supplies and need the party's help to defend their home.
