[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 7692189, member: 19265"] [b]Examples for entries 1-10[/b] So at the time of writing this article, I generated several random encounters and then applied the entries from this table. So each entry had an example or 2. They were cut from the final article, but I thought I would share them here. I am still VERY interested to hear about other GM's/player's examples generated from this article. [B]Entries 1-10[/B] [B]Accompanied by Other Creatures Example:[/B] After adventurers destroyed their past master, wights protecting a ruined castle in the swamp have accepted an adult black dragon as their new master. Just what force has driven them to leave their ruins? [B]Alternative Movement Example[/B]: Goblins climbing trees to rob magpie nests of food. [B]Alternative Movement Example 2[/B]: Perhaps in hilly terrain the PCs hear crashing sounds to see a clumsy aurochs slide down the hillside and land on the path in front of them. Dinner is delivered. [B]Ambush Example[/B]: A giant scorpion bursts upwards from the desert sands when it feels movement above. [B]Bickering/Fighting Example[/B]: Two hellhounds fight for pack leadership whilst the rest watch on. [B]Building/Constructing Example[/B]: Lizardfolk plastering mud over their woven shelter. [B]Camping Example[/B]: The orc patrol has set up their hide tents and lean-tos for the night and are busy feasting on tortoises (being easy prey) roasting on the fire. [B]Captured Example[/B]: Bullywugs hang captured goblins in woven basket-like cages over a trail through the swamp in the hope of capturing more prey. [B]Collecting Food/Drink Example[/B]: A green dragon is encountered on the forest floor, as it is feasting on prey too large to carry back to its lair. [B]Common Annoyance Example[/B]: In an encounter with an ettin, one head is covered in swollen, angry red lumps and is doing a lot of complaining, whilst the other head looks on and laughs. An argument as to who is to blame for upsetting a hornet’s nest is the likely result. [B]Conducting Business/Diplomacy Example[/B]: Hobgoblins are making an offering (small coin, a chain and a large haunch of giant boar) to a hill giant to gain its favor to join them for some task requiring strength.
