DotMM Random Encounters
Trying out some random encounter tables for the dungeon.
Level 1: Dungeon Level
Repopulation Faction: the Deep Druids
It’s not clear how these creepy cultists find their way into the dungeon, but they sure waste no time filling it with all kinds of gross plants and bugs. Poisonous fungi, yellow mold (see Dungeon Hazards in the DMG), nasty giant insects, evil trees, and weird stick effigies start showing up everywhere. And on a full moon they dance naked in their secret sanctum, around an underground Gulthias treant that looks a little bit like Halaster.
