[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 1803343, member: 2002"] :lol: I feel that you place the monsters where you think they should be and let the players worry about what happens when they run into them. However, they should get some basic knowledge and warning of such things. You don't wander past a peaceful farming village, past peasants in the field, only to encounter a nest of Trolls 100 yards into the nearby forest. The Geography section of my [i]Player's Guide[/i] gives some basic knowledge, such as; > There are Trolls in the Southern Uplands and a few stragglers in the northern hills. > The region west of Rivermarch is infested with Kobolds. > The Vasta river basin is so heavily infested with Ankhegs that merchants call the road that passes through that area "the Horse Killer". > The Dimwood is so heavily infested with Shadows and other undead that no sane person will camp within two days march of it. From there it's up to the players. If they're stupid enough to camp near the Dimwood, they're going to be swarmed with Shadows. Whether they're first level or 15th level. Without mercy. [/QUOTE]
