Cute! Fun! & I'm quite sure you can roll an ( Many) excellent story(s) with them,
Cedar. Just me I'm sure, but if you do the eternal apprentice I kind'a will be hoping that Baba Yaga is a, perhaps accidental, heroine, her house's chicken legs deflecting muskets balls from young eternal, or some such before hopping off to await your roll, 14 'vengeance is executed', in volume II. :-)
Hey, for some reason I've always liked the old gal.
I have books and books of charts that I have made up from our gaming over the years, to help with plot generation. Some are very game specific, some are more generalized "encounter" charts, that can be used in many places. Treasure, magic, weapons, types of armies, skills, advantages, disadvantages and quirks, super powers, psionics, vehicles, all kinds of things. When the brain is tired, these can help move things along, generating a few ideas you can move on with.
Your charts are great starts.
There is also the Story Engine Deck of cards that was a Kickstarter a while back that funded, it was pretty cool, too.

I like her, too, which is why she turns up in my writing rather often.

There's Rory's Story Cubes, which obliviate the need for a chart. (While requiring different sets for different genre's specific tropes, to be sure.)
Haven't heard of those, I'll have to look for them.
this was handy to make up with stuff I had already, and I can customize it easily.
I'll have to stay away from this one, Ms. Cedar. I'd spend days creating story plots instead of finishing them. 🤦♂️ 😁
The idea is here when you get stuck ;)
