Hills and Foothills

Encounters happen often along the Hills and Foothills of the Mountain Ranges. They are teeming with life and there are lots of places to hide. To roll for encounters: roll 1d6 every 4 hours while in the  and Foothills regions. On a roll of 1- 2 the party has encountered something different, interesting, or potentially a conflict. Roll 1d30 – 1-10 is a Flora Encounter; 11-20 is a Fauna Encounter; 21-30 is an Environmental Encounter. Roll 1d30 on the appropriate table to determine encounter.

Flora were determined using the Flora and Fauna of the Wilderness Tables in the Table Setting #2 post on this blog.
