[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5823516, member: 386"] Here's an example of randomness from my last game: I rolled up a random encounter. Two young bulettes. I didn't have any specific terrain determined so I rolled on my random wilderness features table. I ended up with a pool and two more random encounters - half-orcs and goblins. I rolled to determine the reaction of the goblins, half-orcs, and bulettes; the goblins and half-orcs were "interested in dialogue" while the bulettes were "hostile, possible attack". The situation that now stands: the PCs have just captured the ruler of the only peaceful settlement at the request of the half-orc death mage. They are supposedly taking her back to the death mage for sacrifice to Yurtrus. The half-orc death mage doesn't realize it but his neck is also on the block; the PCs are going to try to convince the other half-orcs to betray the death mage. The goblins are working for the PCs in exchange for "shiny goods". When the fight with the local ruler went bad their morale broke (random roll) and the PCs are punishing them for this, forcing them to do extra work in order to get their share of loot. [/QUOTE]
