D&D Ideas

Here’s one for you DM’s that want an odd sidequest, about unbalancing a holy duel that two priests are having. The players are walking around town, when they come across two priests who are both pointing spears at each other, centered around a ring of fire. As they walk towards each other to fight, some rain comes down & the fight is staled for another day.  After awhile of the fight being done, one of the priests will come up to the party & ask if they could help them rig the fight in their favor (ie tamper with the other priest’s spear, make the ring of fire burn hotter & closer on his side, ect). If the players help out & do at least one of the things the priest ask for, the priest will give them some gold & a no-so-rare holy relic. If the players come back to this area later, they will see the second round of this duel begins. As the cheat priest goes to attack the other priests, the cheater priest will be hit by lighting & die!

Here’s one for you DM’s that want an enemy to surprise your party with! The party has been going around do their party things for awhile now, but something seems off. Every so often when they look around, they see something shift unnaturally out of sight, & when they go to check they don’t find anything. & yet it just seems to keep happening. Once the party goes to rest for the night, when they wake up, some of their things will be noticeably moved (& some of their food will be eaten). If the players go actively looking for whoever did this, they will be unable to find them. Unless they use some way to identifying invisible creatures, & or just set up a trap, they will be unable to find the being that's doing this.

Here’s one for you Dm’s that want your party to make contact with an NPC adventuring party The players are in an encounter that isn’t quite going their way, but isn’t going to be a loss. As they fight they start to hear people approach from behind their flank. As the players prepare however they do, the people will come up from behind them & help them in the fight. After the fight is done the people who came to help, start to chat with the party. If it is close to night, the other party will ask if the party would want to camp out with them. If it’s not night, the other team will just offer to trade some items with the party & make their way away [weather they see the party again is up to DM]
