How did your players handle it? I'm also thinking about having a bag containing tokens that represent random encounters and having the players draw one token every two rounds (perhaps less often). Ideas for such encounters:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Friendly fire: A flying Timoran mage throws a fireball in the heroes’ battle field. Pick a spot advantageous for the heroes. FB – 18 dmg, Reflex DC 16</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Deadly interference: The Steppengard mage Kelkin throws a fireball against the heroes’ forces. FB 32 dmg, DC 20.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Just Walking through: The Timoran Xorn walks through the middle of the battlefield and makes a bit attack against one of the major enemy NPCs (+21attack, 23 dmg), then continues on his way to another part of the battle.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hear me roar!: An androsphinx flies by and makes a roar attack on the heroes’ battlefield.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Reinforcements have arrived: 4 Gallo soldiers enter the heroes’ side of the battle field.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Low morale: Pick a friendly unit and make morale checks for every NPCs, modified by their commander’s charisma.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Treason: Pick an enemy unit and make morale checks for every NPCS, modified by their commander’s charisma. Those that fail drop their weapons (“We won’t fight our dasseni brothers”, 70%) or turn against Steppengard’s army and join Gallo’s side (30%).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Friendly advice: The heroes receive intelligence information from an unknown source. That source could be one of Gallo’s Chaplain, or a renegade from Steppengard’s army. The piece of information could be about the Kelkin’s position, the content of the second wave (trolls with “abjuration magic”), etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wounded flyer: A criosphinx enters the battlefield on the ennemy’s side. It’s already wounded (50% hp), having already fought in another part of the battlefield.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lost ground: A group of wounded gallo soldiers have been forced to retreat. Put 1d4+4 soldiers on the left side of the battlemap, roughly in the center. They are all wounded (50% hp). [*]Catapult!: One of the catapult throws a rock somewhere on the battle field. Determine the spot randomly. For example, taking roughtly the center square, roll 1d8 to determine scatter direction, then 1d20 for the number of squares the rock will land from the center. Damage as described in the modle.Any thoughts?</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thanks!</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">valn99</li> </ul></blockquote>
