I also have a rolling mechanism for encounter determination that can  call for rolling twice on the table and then I create an encounter based upon mixing the two results. So for example, this happened during a recent wilderness journey along a lesser known mostly overgrown road while the party was camped out of sight of the road*. The results were ogres and zombies. I then improvised a result that makes sense for what is going on. In this case, the PC on watch heard the noise on the road and crept forward stealthily to see a pair of ogres fleeing a bunch of zombies dressed like living cultists the party had encountered on a recent adventure. It was then up to the PCs to decide if they should intervene, follow, ignore, speculate on what’s going on etc. * while traveling through wilderness I require survival checks for finding a good camp spot, which (based on the results) can influence how a potential random encounter while camped plays out.</blockquote>
