D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. Pterodactyls fly overhead. There is a volcano up ahead.
   
   
2. A caravan of 3d8 mechanical ostriches stumbles upon the party, each carrying half-mad alchemists trying to find the perfect formula for "Liquid Luck." Their most recent batch has caused all the ostriches to grow preposterously large ears, giving them the ability to eavesdrop from miles away, and now rival guilds are closing in. The alchemists need help to escape or negotiate a truce, offering some experimental elixirs for assistance.
   
   
3. A band of nomadic merchants, known as the Dustwind Caravans, offer their wares to the party. They have rare and unique items from all over the wasteland, but they are notorious for their high prices and dishonesty.
   
   
4. The players are approached by a group of elves who are searching for a missing artifact that can restore balance to the elements. The artifact is currently in the possession of an evil wizard who is using its powers for his own gain. The players must either defeat the wizard or find a way to retrieve the artifact without engaging in battle.
