Night Encounters - Desert

Night Desert 1

DC 17
As the party sleeps, there is a distant rumbling in the loose ground and a trail of raised sand and earth moves along in the distance.
Unless the watching party notices and keeps quiet (DC 10 Stealth), a Purple Worm emerges and attacks the party.

Night Desert 2

DC 16
A group of shadows slink low across the starlit dunes.
If unnoticed, 2d4+2 Bandit Captains spring out of the shadows to surround the sleeping party. 

Night Desert 3

DC 15
2 mounds of rising sand and dirt approach the party's camp site.
If not noticed, 2 Bulettes erupt from the ground in the middle of the sleeping characters. 

Night Desert 4

DC 14
strange dust devils whip up in the distance and begin snaking their way towards camp.
 If no action is taken 2d4+3 Dust Mephits whirl into camp and attack the sleeping characters looking to cause violent mischief.

Night Desert 5

DC13
There are strange rocks in the distance. When next glanced, they may appear to be closer than before.
If the character keeping watch doesn't take note of them, then 1d4+2 camoflauged Lizardfolk will suddenly spring out of their rock scaled disguises and attack the party from all sides.

Night Desert 6

DC12
A single massive raven flies low over the sandy expanse.
As it veers away from the camp, a keen ear can hear it mutter to itself in a vaguely familiar feminine voice "Not ripe at all", before continuing to glide away.

Night Desert 7

DC 10
The wind kicks up some sand revealing a lone glass bottle. Inside is a cloudy, swirling orange liquid. The faded label reads "...otio...f W...".
A DC 15 Investigation check can deduce from the other remnant labels that the name should read "Potion of War".

Night Desert 8

DC 9
A desert fox stalks nearby, looking for scorpions and lizards. It takes a wide arc around the camp, staying just out of the light.

Night Desert 9

DC 8
A desert snake pursues a spider, shifting the sand as they pass.

Night Plains 10

A small creature approaches the camp, quickly at first, then slowing.
It's a Jackelope! They do exist!
