As DM, you know a troll lives there. A troll is CR 5 -- a hard fight for the party, someone could die, or they could defeat it without too much (relatively) trouble. If they beat it, they get a decent-sized treasure horde. How would you answer an augury asking about entering this cave?What if the troll had no treasure -- woe?What if the party was 10th level -- nothing? Or weal because of easy treasure?Say there is a pit trap with spikes at the entrance to this cave -- is this necessarily a woe?I'm kind of confused as to what constitutes a weal or woe answer. Of course, if the 4th-level party were about to encounter Orcus -- that would be woe. But what does a challenging, but not overwhelmingly powerful or dismissively weak, encounter rate on the weal/woe chart?Quasqueton</blockquote>
