D4 Random Wasteland Encounters

1. As the party rests for the night, they hear the distant cry of a dragon. But when they investigate, they find a small gnome making dragon noises and trying to scare away intruders from its makeshift home.
   
   
2. A group of 1d8+6 bandits are riding overland in carts and carriages. They are heading toward a town called Bridgewater (or Ashur). They will not attack unless attacked.
   
   
3. As the party enters a city, they notice that all the citizens are moving in slow motion. A powerful mage has cast a time-slowing spell on the entire city and is using this opportunity to steal priceless artifacts and treasures. Can the party stop the mage and return the city to normal time?
   
   
4. Amidst a wasteland of perpetual shadow punctuated by howling winds, players find the ruins of a fortress cursed by an ancient vampire lord. The lord’s phylactery lies hidden within, its sequences of blood-magic traps and undead sentinels only opening for those who showcase resilient will and daylight magic.
