They do this for defense as well as commerce. As a result, the adventures that center around towns generally focus more on people and events. As the players venture farther from civilized areas, monsters become more common and more powerful. Except for the very rare occasion, monsters stay away from large masses of humans and humanoids. The monsters seem to know instinctively that they may appear weak, but they are many.Of course there is that rare event, when some creature wanders too close to town, but I treat that as a rarity. Like today, if a mountain lion found itself wandering into downtown Lazyville, USA. The locals might be caught unprepared – at first, but the local sheriff would get things under control fairly quickly. And the event is rare enough that the town will be talking about it for years to come.Then again, there is a big difference between a curious mountain loin and a rampaging troll.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
