It is even better than this! Why did the random encounter happen? Because the random encounter clock ran out and a check was required...

Oh man, wait until you hear about Yahtzee.

Ok dude, whatever. You asked for some examples beyond others of how Fail Forward might work. I wasn't posting them for you to go "I hate...
