[QUOTE="HoboGod, post: 5338118, member: 90920"] A random element in a premade adventure is generally supposed to be mundane filler, the droll bit of meaningless carnage and intrigue that serves no purpose other than to ensure the players do not get overwhelmed by everything else that's going on. Pick something silly out of Grimtooth's Traps, drop a puzzle that's a blatant rip-off of Legend of Zelda, or just improvise a pathetic encounter that makes the party feel good about themselves for not sucking. As long as you don't go crazy, no matter what you put in the room, the players wont question if it fits or not, they'll just roll with it. As the DM, you'll probably be putting twice the thought into these rooms than any of your players, so don't feel bad if you mix up rooms, your players wont notice. As for when and where? Well, if it needs to be at a certain time and place, it really isn't random. :p Seriously, though, if you feel like your party needs a break from what the book wants to throw next, nows a good time for one of these random diversions.
