Ruin Encounters

1d12Encounter
1Animals—such as a brown bear, giant owl, or pack of 2d6 wolves—attack, made vicious by the effect of Baphomet's temple deep under the hill.
22d4 minotaur archaeologists explore the hill, looking for artifacts and places to dig.
31d6 minotaur infiltrators are performing a bloody rite to Baphomet; if there are six, one is their leader, Brusipha (both stat blocks appear in this chapter). If discovered, the minotaurs attack to conceal their activity from outsiders.
41d3 displacer beasts, pets of the green hags, are on the prowl; alternatively, use yeth hounds from Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse.
5A plaintive howl echoes over the hill. Characters who succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom (Perception) check identify the source as the collapsed bell tower in the Feygrove, where a young displacer beast is trapped.
6A green hag from the coven hidden in the Feygrove is on a mysterious errand. If she detects the adventurers before they spot her, the hag uses Illusory Appearance to conceal herself as a dryad and invites the characters to the Feygrove, then returns to her coven and sets a trap for the characters.
7Vegetation on the hillside has grown into a hedge maze due to the magical influence of Baphomet's temple. Navigating the maze requires 1 hour and a successful DC 18 Wisdom (Survival) check.
8Mekkalath's presence prompts a fiery eruption. Creatures in a 5-foot-radius, 20-foot-high cylinder must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 17 (5d6) fire damage.
91d3 fire elementals drawn from the Elemental Plane of Fire by Mekkalath's aura wander the hill.
10Spiders from the Feygrove are on the prowl; they include 2d4 giant spiders plus either 1d3 phase spiders or 1 ruin spider (see chapter 21).
11A lone githyanki warrior hunts for tonight's meal.
12A red slaad, dropped here by the comet that recently overflew the site, searches the hill for any way to lift the wards around the watchtower.
