I have spend a lovely Sunday evening building random encounters: terrain + creature + couple of minutes thinking how the two would play together: Here's my (updated) list so far for the first 22 days. Almost totally based on the dice where they fell. I recommend everyone to give it a try.I've prerolled the lost levels based on a decent survuval level (+3) which adds significant time. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 1 evening: Sinkhole + Escaped human slave (commoner or new PC). DC 12 Dex save or fall into 20’ pit 2d6 damage. Slave has a club. The party can choose to rescue the slave or not. they then have to decide what to do with him.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 3 evening (camp attack): 1/2 orcs and 1 orc eye of Gruumsh raiders (8 50p gemstones)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 5 morning: Lost 3 hours. Underground Stream + 6 Kuo-toa trader/fishermen (bit mad) with rotting fish guts in jars (22 gp of general goods + 12 days of provisions for sale). Know way to Sloopbludoop. If anyone wants to buy rotten fish guts they can. They are disgusting but fortifying. DC 10 constitution check. Fail lose 1 hp, save gain 1d6 hp. They can buy 4 jars for 1 gp each </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 6 evening: Fungus cavern + Ochre Jelly. Nightlights, Timmasks, Bluecaps, Ripplebark. Orchre jelly has killed and digested a humanoid. What’s left is the skeleton clutching a Longsword)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 7 morning Lost 8 hours :  Muck pit + 4 gas spores (Beholder Memory - suffering grievous injury after fierce battle with Drow Archmage)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 9 morning:  Gas leak + Mad Duergar with scroll (cantrip - Minor Illusion) trying to breathe the gas.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Day 10 Lost 2 hours</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 10 evening: Dance of the Boneyard skeletons. The party enters a cave filled with piles of weird bones and horns. The bones reassemble and rise up into 1/4 skeletons who start performing a weird clickety-clackety dance. If the party attacks and kills the skeletons in 1 round the encounter ends. Otherwise the dance of the Boneyard Skeletons creates a minotaur skeleton which rises up and attacks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 11 Lost 5 hours. Cliff and Ladder + Mad Deep Gnome Sliding down ladder with a weird patchwork robe flapping in the breeze as a makeshift air brake. He is quite mad and has not a care in the world and is more or less oblivious to everything going on around him. The only way to get through to him and get the cloak is to a) attack and kill him, b) to cure him of madness (greater restoration), b) to charm him or enchant him to give you the cloak d) to Persuade DC20. Intimidation or any other kind of approach just makes him cackle with laughter. Robe of Useful items: 2 daggers, 2 bullseye lanterns, 2 steel mirrors, 2 10-poles, 2 50’ ropes, 2 sacks, portable ram, iron door, 4 potions of healing, scroll lightning bolt, scroll spider climb, riding horse with saddle bags, rowboat (12’), 10x100gp gems, bag of 100p, silver coffer 500gp, wooden ladder 24ft, pit 10’, 2 mastiffs, window 2 x 4 x 2 deep. Get Robe without killing Gnome</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 13 Lost 1 hour</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Day 14 morning Lost 4 hours: Steam Vent + 3 escaped goblin slaves (crazy and hostile). “Ha ha don't you dare step over the line thats the edge of our house” (if party stop at line they are all caught by steam vent) then the goblins attack.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 14 camped: Horrid sounds DC11 wisdom check or madness level increases by 1</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 15 morning: Narrow tunnel (1-abreast). Lava swell, Tremor opens up lava filled fissure behind them. But it is moving very slowly. Drow pursuit drops by 1. Up ahead a gelatinous cube fills the passageway. See shimmering up ahead, DC10 perception check to see that it is a cube. Must kill it in less than 4 rounds or lava catches up with them. If they let the lava touch them they take 3d6 damage each round. (650 xp). They can run into the cube and try to burst through taking 3d6 acid damage (DC 12 strength check to escape out the other side.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 15 evening: Hundreds of feet of Webs extending into tunnel + 4 giant spiders. Travel distance cut by half for the day.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 16 evening: Rope bridge over river (if cut reduce Drow pursuit by 1) + 6 piercers disguised as stalactites 30 ft above the bridge. Every piercer that misses has 50% chance of damaging bridge by 3d6. The bridge can take 25 damage. If it is smashed through everyone must take a Dex saving throw (DC 12) or fall into the river taking no damage but being attacked by a giant lamprey (treat as giant constrictor snake with blood sucking ability instead of constrict 1d6 damage each turn unless strength DC12 throw). (XP piercers 600, lamprey 450)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 17 evening: Orog lair. Human corpse wearing Chainmail Armour. 2 Orogs perching on ledges 40 ft above. Hurl javelins down.

Inside crevasse is an obsidian statue of Lolth (100g)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 20 morning: Crystal clusters, Fist sized chunks of  quartz Faerzress infused crystals. As party are inspecting the crystal an Umber Hulk bursts out of the wall. Making one of the crystals explode. It is blinded for 1 minute. Disadvantage to attack and can’t use confusing gaze. Inside the wall where the hulk burst out there are 5 50 gp gems, a +2 shortsword, a staff of charming (charm person, command, comprehend languages 10 charges, 1/day immunity to enchantment spells), bracers of defense (+2 AC if you are not wearing armor or shield)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Day 22 evening: Rockfall + Society of Brilliance (Grazilaax the Mind Flayer). He is examining a Faerzress infused rock patch and has a small hammer and chisel. One last whack and the rockfall starts. He is buried and cannot escape without the party’s help.
