One Page Adventures

22 one page adventures for most enviorments

By Tyler Monahan
Introduction One Page Adventures

Introduction
Summary: This book is a collection of one page adventures for levels 1-4. The adventures
cover various environments a party might adventure through and each one has a small one page
dungeon associated with it that can be run as well. Alternatively you can cut out the dungeon or
run it on its own. These adventures are intended to be cut up and inserted into a larger plot line.

Each environment page is intended to be run as a skill challenge and is broken up into 4 sections.
Skill checks are things you can describe while the party is traveling to determine how well they
are finding their way. The assumed dc for all of them is 15 but they can be increased or lowered.
If the party has a guide you can grant them advantage on these checks. You can also just have
the players come up with their own obstacles to overcome with a skill of their choice.

On a successful skill check you should pick the next event listed under success. The players
can engage with most of these encounters or avoid them. On a failure you should pick the next
event on the failure list and have that occur. Once you reach the last event on success or failure
you can have them reach whatever destination they were aiming for. Failing 3 times has a fairly
hard hook to the associated dungeon as a penalty which you may or may not want to include.

The last section on an environment page is a list of exploration events with the intent of re-
warding players for exploring the environment. There is no set time to do these and they should
be sprinkled in during the journey. They will describe something the players see, hear, feel,
or taste but that they dont see. If they investigate you should follow the description of the event.

Each dungeon is fairly linear and contains some threat to the surrounding area. If the party
ignores the threat these act as a seed for you to make the area more dangerous later on as the
world evolves. Most dungeons are intended to be solved in multiple ways including socially or
via stealth. Some encounters are far to strong for the party and need to be solved socially or
by avoiding them creature.

Arctic One Page Adventures

Arctic

Skill Check: identify hard pact snow (nature), find a path in the snow (survival), follow a
constellation (arcana), plow through snow drift (athletics), identify historic mountain (history),
figure out hunting trail marker identifier (insight)

Success
A trapper along the side of the road requests the party’s aid in hunting down and killing 1-2
polar bears that mauled him and gave him a limp. It is a dc 14 survival check to find the polar
bears and ambush them otherwise the polar bears get the jump on the players. The tracker re-
wards the players with a fur cloak that gives resistance to cold damage and a warning about orcs.

A wandering pack of 4-14 wolves notice the party’s sent and track the party for 3 days with
their howls being heard getting closer each night. They can be lost with 3 successful group
stealth checks with a dc of 15 otherwise on the 4th day the attack the party during the night.

On the horizon the party sees black smoke billowing up. As they get closer they hear cries for
help and then see a small cottage with a man inside, bails of burning hay are stacked around
the side of the cottage and 2-7 orcs stand outside the building watching it burn with glee.

Failure
As the party is traveling they fail to notice 1-2 saber tooth tigers laying in wait. As they pass
by the saber tooth tigers attack the softest looking targets in the back looking to get a quick
kill and to flee with their meal.

On the horizon the party sees a dark clouds coming in. After 6 hours the storm is on top
of the players reducing vision to 5ft, making terrain difficult, and require them to make a dc
10 constitution check against gaining a level of exhaustion every 2 hours. They can make a dc
16 survival to find a cave for shelter every hour with disadvantage on the check during the storm.

The party’s trail was picked up by an orc patrol and 2-7 orcs track the party and ambush them
in the night. Part of the patrol that didnt attack returned to the orcs stronghold to report their
presence and if the patrol doesnt return after 2 days the orcs send out another patrol to hunt
down the players each day with the number of orcs increase by 1 as long they are in the arctic.

Exploration
Panicked barking can be heard in the distance. If the party investigate they see a wolf pup stuck
on some broken ice floating in a lake. They can swim out to the pup to rescue it but must make
3 dc 12 constitution checks against against gaining a level of exhaustion from hypothermia. The
pup requires a dc14 animal handling check to carry off the ice. If they save it the pup befriends
them and follows the party around.

5. A wooden barracks houses up to 100 orcs at

a time but most of them are out in the field or
guarding the fort. There are 4-14 orcs sleeping
in the barracks at any given time and each bed
has a chest with 1-3 gold worth of coins stored
in it and bits of weapon and armor repair gear.
The orcs in the barracks will come out of the

Coast One Page Adventures

Coast
Summary: Sahuagin raiders terrorize the coast after pirates took up residence in a local cove

tage of this by looting raided villages for treasure left behind by the Sahuagin.

Checks: washed out trail (survival), rocky river (acrobatics), cliff side (athletics), bypass a
cove (nature), notice a religious train marker (religion), notice a landmark (history)

Success
A villager (Jehan) is down in the tide pools collecting urchins during low tide. Around the
villager 8 giant crabs can be seen creeping up the slick rocks on the unsuspecting villager. The
tide pools are difficult terrain for creatures without swim speed. Giant crabs try to grapple
targets and drag them into the sea to drown them. Reward: potion of water breathing

A dying whale is beached on the shore. An inspection reveals shark like bite marks as well as
spear wounds on the whale. It weighs 3000 pounds (players can push/drag their strength times
30) It will die after 10 minutes unless stabilized with healing magic and water. If the whale is
saved a sea sprite will appear and gift the party some useless sea glass. A dc 5 arcana check
will reveal one of the pieces of glass functions as a blue sapphire elemental gem.

The village of Colmar was recently gutted by a Sahuagin attack followed by a pirate raid. The
few villagers who are left are picking up the pieces. Ethor is considered the leader of the village
and will tell the party what happened and can tell them about the pirates desecrating the sea
gods shrine. If the party is cursed he will tell them the sea god shrine was known for lifting
curses. There are a number of injured and dying villagers in the town hall that he will request
you help if you can. He can offer nothing for assistance.

Failure
A raiding party of 6 sahuagin attacks the party. Their weapons are coated in blood and they
will attempt to drag of any knocked out characters in nets to sacrifice to their god.

The party makes camp near the beach after an exhausting day of travel. During the night a
storm blows in at the same time as hide tide and the party realises they are below the high tide
water mark. It requires a dc 10 athletics check to get far enough away from the storm to be
safe during the storm. There is a dc 15 athletics check to pack any camping equipment they
used before the storm hit otherwise everything they use to set up camp is lost.

Sahuagin priestess with 0-4 sahuagin attacks the party. She starts combat by shattering a sand
dollar permanently cursing the party with seasickness giving them disadvantage on dex checks
if they fail a charisma dc 17 save.

Exploration
Music can be heard in the distance. A girl (Ame) is playing reed pipes in a small sea cove and
pseudo dragons are dancing above the surf to the music. She fled from her village after it was
attacked and can lead the part to it.

Low tide reveals tide pools along the beach below the cliff side path the party is traveling on.
If the party investigates they see little tiny crabs, sea urchins, and a colorful conch shell which
can be turned into a conch horn.

Four bandits mounted on camels attack the party. They will attempt to attack from range with
short bows while using their mounts to avoid the party. A significant show of force causes them
to flee.

A caravan is stuck with signs of recent battle with kobold raiders. Their wheels have been

14 persuasion check or aiding them will cause them to offer to lead the party out of the desert.

Failure
At night a kobold raiding party of 8 kobolds 3 of them mounted on giant lizards waylays the
party. They will try to steal or demand any food or water the party has and if refused they

The sand gives way under the adventures feet dropping them into a 50 foot pit. After they land
they notice 1-2 swarms of poisonous snakes they just woke up who proceed to attack.

A shambling horde of 8 diseased kobolds attack the party. After combat everyone makes a dc 17

relatively civilized with small farms and ranches. Gnolls are encroaching on the lands.

Checks: star navigation (arcana), game trails (nature), finding a stream (survival), ask direc-
tions from fleeing farmers (persuasion), strange markers (insight), artifact (history)

Success
The party comes to the site of a battle. Dead human militia and gnolls liter the field. Ravens
calls can be heard and hyenas feast on the remains of the dead. If the party investigates the
battlefield 1-4 giant hyena attack them. On the field is a dying human if they save him he will
tell them how gnolls have been attacking the countryside and a militia was raised to right them.
If left alone after feasting the hyenas transform into gnolls.

A herd of cows being hunted by 1-3 griffons who plunge out of the sky and takes one to their
roost. The rancher who owns the cows beggs the party to help deal with the griffons other-
wise he will be ruined. Griffons swoop down on players and fly back into the sky after attacking.

The party sees and smells smoke on the horizon. After 4-5 hours of traveling they see a town
in the distance that is under attack by a gnoll war party. The town milita is holding them war
party back for the moment from behind wood baracades but the town is on fire and it isnt clear
how long they can hold out. There are 8 gnoll archers firing on the town from a disance, 12
gnolls attacking the barracade, and a gnoll pack lord with 0-6 gnolls directing the assult. If the
pack lord is killed the gnolls moral is broken and they retreat. Gnolls like killing villagers.

Failure
The call of a pack of hyenas can be heard in the distance. 8 hyena lead by 1-6 gnolls is tracking
the party. The hunters catch up with the party in 2 days unless they are lost by 3 successful
stealth checks.

During the night a Ogre raids the party’s camp for food not caring if its livestock or person.
Once it kills something it will sit down to eat it giving the party the chance to flee or fight it. An
offering of food and gold is enough to get the ogre to go away though complex words make it mad.

2-8 gnolls try to ambush the party from the tall grass near the road. Jumping out and attacking
the party from behind once they move past. Make a stealth check to see if they are seen. Half
the gnolls stay back and make ranged attacks. Plans are found on the corpse outlining a plan
for a gnoll war camp to raze settlements nearby.

Exploration
In the distance 8 wild horses can be seen galloping across the grasslands. The party could
pursue them and try to use them as mounts which would require animal friendship. Anyone
who tried to mount one would have to make a dc 18 animal handling check or be thrown the
ground spooking the herd.

A lone farm house can be seen in the distance with smoke billowing from its chimney. If
approached a voice from inside the bared house will tell them to flee. After a few moments
they are attacked by 2-4 scarecrow. The farmer inside wont let them in but if they defeat the
scarecrow he will flee with his family and give them his clockwork amulet as thanks.

Hills One Page Adventures

Hills
Summary: A hilly land with sparse vegetations and rocky terrain. Rivers cut through the
hills and it is primarily populated by herders and some miners. Goblins have moved into the
area recently and are stealing anything they can get their hands on growing more bold by the day.

Checks: follow stream (survival), climb cliff (acrobatics), swim river (athletics), notice rockpile
marker (insight), follow magic trace (arcane), commune with minor local spirit (religion) Land
slide, Mine, Empt lair

Success
As the party travels they see a young boy on the side of the path weeping. He is a shepard and
during the night goblins stole his flock so his family wont be able to afford food. If the players
choose to help the shepard there are clear tracks to follow to a small cave where the flock is
being kept and 8 goblins sit around a fire in front of it celebrating their theft.

While traveling along a creek in a valley between two rocky hills the party hears the sound of
thunder even though the sky is a clear blue. After a few minutes the players notice the creek has
started to rise and small sticks are being carried along it. To reach the high ground each player
needs to make 3 dc 14 athletics checks with each failure increasing the dc by 1. Between each
failure describe the waters rising more and carrying larger debris. If a player fails 3 athletics
check they get caught up in a flash flood and are swept away if they cant be saved.

A 200ft wide river blocks the partys path forward. The central current is moving very quickly
and sweeps anyone who cant make a dc 20 athletics check away (the troll may save them).
Downstream of the river is a long stone bridge. If the party trys to cross the bridge a Troll
climbs onto it halfway across and demands a toll which can be anything (food, money, or a
funny story). Trolls arent smart so it may not be able to explain what the toll is. He attacks if
they cheat him.

Failure
During the night 4-10 goblins sneak into the partys camp and try to steal anything they can get
their hands on. If spotted they will snatch anything they can and flee. While running a gob-
lin will drop what they are holding if it. The goblins escape into a natural tunnel after 3 rounds.

The party finds themselves lost in a maze like canyon. As they stop to catch their breath they
hear a loud snorting sound echoing through the canyon and the sounds of metal dragging on
stone. They must make 4 successful skill checks with a dc of 15 that would help them get out
of the canyon on the first failure the snorting sound gets close on the second failure a minotaur
attacks.

As the party travels past a 60 foot rocky out cropping 3 goblins attack the party. One holds
aloft a staff which transforms into a spirit goat and dashes into the hills. Each player must
make a dc 14 wisdom save against being transformed permanently into a goat. The goblins
proceed to attack the party at range from the outcropping which goats can easily scale.

An illusion of a Young Green dragon cast by a blue faerie dragon flies over head and lands in
front of the party. The dragon will demand the party leave any baked goods or baubles they
might have on the ground and flee. A dc 13 investigation check reveals the illusion. The Faerie
Dragon isnt hostile but will prank the party for fun.

Firmly planted in the parties path stands a lone unicorn. A droning fills the air and the party
falls asleep on the forest floor. Any players who have killed an animal in the forest will dream
of the animals death from its point of view. All other players dream of a voice asking them to
root out the darkness in the heart of the forest. When the players wake they no longer see a
unicorn.

Checks: climb a rock slide (acrobatics), chose right fork (insight), find trail (survival), find
goat path (nature), climb a cliff (athletics), ask a travling merchent for directions (persusasion)

Success
Saltborn the stone giant blocks the path ahead. He believes he is dreaming and that the party
is a figment of his dream. He isnt interested in moving and will ask absurd things like why
the players dont simply turn into clouds and float around him. If they convince him he isnt
dreaming he would move aside. He doesnt want to hurt anyone but while dreaming he doesnt
consider anything to be real and has no problem throwing someone off the side of a cliff.

4-12 wandering arakocra approche the party. They say the winds have spoken of travels in the
mountains who poses one of the 7 lost shards of law. They demand the party hands over a
shard they dont have. The arakocra dont want to use force and will try to negotiate.

A small camp lies in disarray. Supplies are scattered and blood covers the ground. A search of
the site finds mining supplies and a notebook that logs a miners discovery of a massive crystal
in an abandoned mine and the formation of a company to re open the mine. It has directions
to the mine.

Failure
During the day 3-9 troglodyte scouts encounter the party while traveling. One of the troglodytes
will flee to report the incident and the others will attack the party only if they move forward.

The party reaches a long narrow stone land bridge that sands 200 feet above a rocky gorge.
While crossing 1-3 harpys will use their song to try and lure players over the edge. If the song
fails they attack the party for 2 rounds. On the 3ed round they will try to escape.

At night 2-7 troglodytes attack the party. After the fight anyone who was within 5ft of a
troglodyte sleep walks each night in the direction of the troglodytes lair. They cant be woken
but will wake up naturally and only remember feeling a pull towards something. If they go to
the lair this ends.

Exploration
A pile of small bones and a white chalky substances lays at the base of a cliff. A investigation
will reveal a large nest high up above. The nest contains 2 hippogriff eggs.

Worn and weathered steps lead to highest peak in the mountain range. It takes 3 days to climb
the peak and grants a level of exhaustion each day. At the peak is a nameless sage sitting cross
legged. He tells the party he will grant them his wisdom on one question about anything which
he will answer correctly. He is silent after that and if attacked he accepts death peacfully.
