Hello everyone! This is going to be a little long and rambly, so I apologize in advance.
I am a first time DM, and I was hoping I could get some ideas. I have a dream sequence I’m putting my players through. The first dream, one player “woke up” in the dream, to find the rest of the party in her room at the inn they were staying at… which is not where they were when they fell asleep. The room is very cold. Only one character could be “awake” at a time, so if a character tried to wake up another character, that character would wake up, but the first would fall asleep. A character would also fall asleep once they made an action to warm the room back up. So basically in that dream, the room would get colder unless they made actions to warm it back up. One character active at a time. They successfully warmed the room up again.
The second dream, they will be in a… I’ve been calling it a Transdepot, basically it’s a building with nine portals connecting to the biggest cities on the continent. An invading army is almost upon them, and what they don’t know is that those in power are going to destroy the Transdepot to keep the enemy army from gaining instant access to all the major cities. The party will all be active at the same time, and they will be close enough together to know the rest of the party is also in the dream, but they will each find themselves in a different situation. One will be in front of an angry mob of people – the people have just been told they cannot travel to the cities they were headed towards, and must evacuate to other cities. They are not happy about it, and it will be that character’s goal to calm the crowd down and get them moving. Maybe another character needs to help save a family that got trapped somehow. So on and so forth. I need more ideas for situations to put them in that make sense in that scenario.
The third dream they will be outside the Transdepot after the events of the second dream, I was thinking a couple years later. Half the depot is destroyed, and the surrounding land is sickly as a result of what destroyed the temple. For this dream, I want them all active and set with a problem to solve together… but I have no idea what that problem would be.
The party consists of a dragonborn paladin, dragonborn rogue, dwarf ranger, teifling wizard, and a human fighter.
So, sorry for the long explanation, but does anyone have any suggestions for situations for dream #2, or a group problem for dream #3?
