Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scott Nagel" data-source="post: 7529428" data-attributes="member: 6977589">I have decided to add a fun, (not very) random encounter the next time the party is crawling a jungle hex.  They will happen upon a Giant Ape, who is agitated, roaring and thumping its chest.  While the party is deciding how to handle this, a T-Rex will approach from the other side of the PCs.  Classic monster fight!  The PCs are only third level, so it will be dangerous, but the monsters will be focused on each other--and everyone has seen enough movies to know that you absolutely side with the giant gorilla in this situation!  If anyone is stupid enough to attack the gorilla they are getting thrown at the T-Rex.  The T-Rex will be forced to bite the ape (4d12+7!), so at most someone will catch a tail swipe (3d8+7)--enough to put them down in one shot, but not kill them outright.I was tickled enough with this idea, that I picked up a Schleich gorilla that is the perfect size to match the Fiendish Tyrannosaurus mini.  (I also have the Nolzur's mini, but it likely won't be painted in time.)Oh, and the fight is definitely ending with somebody pulling off somebody else's jaw.</blockquote>
