Random #DnD Encounter
The House of Smiles
Something strange is happening in the north. People go missing for a day, only to be returned… different. The returned will often do their usual work for a week or so, and then disappear into thin air, often leaving a window open into the cold winter.

Seas? Where we’re going we don’t need seas
The party is visiting a port town when they are approached about a small scavenging job. A ship had been disabled and abandoned a few leagues away. The party will join the crew of the patron’s ship and recover whatever they can.

I’m back! Kinda. I just needed to take a month off, and now I’m getting that itch again. Time to spill my ideas into this digital world and see what comes of it.

An unexpected slumber
The party is exploring the dungeon when they come across a hidden side room. After solving the puzzle door, they find a small room with a glass casket in the center. There is a pendulum hanging above it, swinging in a small circle above a set of runes.

The voice in the well
A village is being tormented by their water well. Shrieks come from it in the night, and the water comes up blood red. Some have reported hearing whispers and cackles coming from deep within. They have surrounded the well with charms, but it does not work.

The Deck Dealer
The party approaches a lone tent, with an eerie light. When they enter, they see a puppet holding a deck of cards. There is a slot for coins. If the party puts a coin in the slot, the puppet deals them a card. When they flip it over, their hearts sink.

Put the Candle Back
The party is at a loss. They fought through 7 floors of monsters to find this? A library without so much as a spell scroll. But then they found it. A set of hinges on a bust. They open it and a bookshelf opens to a portal.

Dream State
The party has been traveling the feywilds for days. It’s time for a rest. As the party sets down for the night, a strange dust coats the camp. The watch fails his save, and falls asleep.

Good Omen
In a city where two massive factions battle it out for control, there is a small park where no bloodshed happens. There is nothing significant about it, just a simple few acres with a small duck pond and a nice little trail through a garden.

Frog in a Pot
The party is stopped on their trip through the swamp by a group of Bullywugs. They beg the party to come save their deity, a Froghemoth that lives in sunken burrow in the swamp. When led to the burrow, the party notices that the water is rather warm.

Night of the Living Village
As the night falls, the party head out on their mission. Investigate the village next to the woods. Many people go there, but none return. As the party passes the border, they see animated brooms sweeping front porches. Who would need so many brooms?

Mistaken Identity
As the party sits at the tavern, a young lad runs through the front door shouting “RAKSHASA! RAKSHASA!” And tells of a monsterous cat-like creature attacking travelers in the mountains.

The Dundee Hilt
A magic hilt that will mirror any weapon that is brandished within 20 ft of it. Speaking the trigger phrase, “That’s not a [weapon]. THIS is a [weapon]” will have the hilt grow to double the size of the blade in front of it.

The Rat Race
A group of scientists have become obsessed with speed. How fast could something go? Could something be fast enough to travel between two portals faster than someone just stepping through? The challenge went out. May the fastest being win the rat race!

Close Encounters
The party is resting on a hill, watching a beautiful meteor shower streak across the sky. Suddenly one of the falling stars starts to grow larger and larger. Finally the group scatters as a massive ship crashes where their camp was.

This nation has been at war for ages. The entire battlefield is awash with blood and scorched earth. In the defender’s camp, there is a medical tent with an old woman. She gives sunflower seeds to the troops to carry with them onto the battlefield.

The Door Room
The party finds a key that seems to shift to fit any door lock they focus on. When they unlock a door, it doesn’t lead to where it is supposed to go. Instead it leads to a room filled with doors. Each of these doors matches to one in the real world.

No Daily DnD today. I am too angry at my country today to focus on a good encounter.

Nightly News
In a world of magic, why would anyone JUST rely on newspapers. Every night at nine, there is a massive illusion in the center of town. A person at the desk reads out the news of the day for an hour. The citizens who are interested can stay informed.

Isa-what?!?
The party has met a rather strange creature. An axebeak carrying a satchel. One Speak with Animals later and… it claims to have been a prominent trader in a land unfamiliar to the party. The last thing it remembers is a carriage coming at it at high speed.

Trust Nothing
The party comes across a small treasure room as they explore the dungeon. There are three chests there, sitting in a row. Of course, two of them are mimics. The third has a glyph of warding carved into the top of the closed lid, dealing thunder damage on opening.

I’m Your Biggest Fan
The party has been traversing the deeper parts of The Underdark for some weeks now. They know something is watching them, but whatever it is has kept out of sight. It doesn’t seem hostile, so they just let whatever it is watch.

The Masked Thief
A town is being plagued by a string of robberies. The strange thing is the thieves all get caught the next day, and claim to have no memory of how they came into possession of the stolen goods.

The lost house
As the party walks down the road, they find a tree with a strange keyhole in the trunk. If they stick a key in there, they hear a click, and a door appears next to the tree. When the door opens, the stink of death meets them. Welcome to The Lost House.

A Game of Death
Failure. The party has wiped, and the death saves failed. T. P. K.
While jumping to new characters to pick up the torch of the campaign is an experience worth exploring, sometimes you just don’t want to redo it all. Enter Death, Personified
