Roll	Result
1–2	A starving USED T'BE TIGER leaps from the brush and attacks.
3–4	The sky darkens and a giant SKROKWING swoops down to grab the PC with the shiniest armor in its talons.
5–6	A noble Felmog ambassador and his entourage funnel down the road. Anyone who makes eye contact with him will be punished severely by their GUARDS.
7–8	Azrak the Poet recites a poem to the PCs. "Three Orders bound by oaths, forsake their past and bow to death. Alas for Kreeth, alas for Khet, and the iron sons that were unmet." Azred demands a poem from the PCs in return. Fail to reply and the PCs all share the same random CURSE.
9–10	A team of boggart lumberjacks cut down a tree. As the PCs choke on a cloud of sawdust, a THOAD springs out of the stump and tries to devour the lumberjacks.
11–12	Jummy the Hauker, a FAERIE merchant, surprises the PCs with items for sale. Through some sort of magic, he is actually selling back a random item in each PC's inventory for Gold Coins.
13–14	A goblin engineer has his tie caught in a giant stump grinder. If he doesn't get free in the next thirty seconds, he's mulch!
15–16	A Krog & Sons Inc. taskmaster forces boggles to lower themselves into an abandoned well to fetch his lost watch. The boggles are terrified because the well has a CLUNCH DRAGON at the bottom.
17–18	A charred black tree has twelve axes embedded in it, but there's nobody around. The tree is a cursed BEAMKIN. Removing an axe wakes it, and it attacks. However, removing all of the axes, frees it from its curse, for which it is eternally grateful.
19–20	Mimzy Momzy's Traveling Sideshow is headed to Fleabag County. Mimzy fears her most dangerous attraction has escaped, and warns the PCs about "Marty" the wolf (actually a WEREWOLF ). Marty is already stalking the party.
21–22	Just before mealtime, the PCs find a Nork's Noodles Nook. If the PCs stop to eat, a patron gets sick and coughs up a PLYXIAN PILE WORM. Upon closer inspection, all the noodles are slightly squirming. Everyone who ate is infested with PLYXIAN PILE WORM eggs that will hatch in 3 days unless they find a cure.
23–24	A group of BANDITS chase a shrym, shouting “traitor!” As the shrym, Shumwise, bumps into the PCs, he swears he isn't a turncoat and has no idea where Brunt Manheel's loot is! Save him from Brunt's gang and he vows to be the PCs' devoted butler.
25–26	A Subterranean Pits and Lairs LLC armored carriage is under attack by a horde of ORCHES.
27–28	KILORATS spill from a sewer grate that is spewing green gas in the middle of nowhere. They are violent and attack viciously. Breathing in the gas for more than 3 rounds causes aggressive and violent tendencies for days.
29–30	A windowless wagon zooms by from out of nowhere. A huge masked occupant leans out of the door and tries to snatch the lead PC with a big potato sack (Nimbleness Check to avoid). The wagon is headed towards a cave, a BANDIT mining operation, and the kidnapped PC is meant to be forced to work.
31–32	The road veers off into a field of thorny bushes. KOBOLDS skulk in the shadows and attempt to lure the PCs into a net trap to ENTANGLE and rob them.
33–34	The PCs find a basement door that leads into a bunker of some kind. Below are beds, footlockers (each an Old Hoard), and a note pinned to a bulletin board that reads: "Off to the Fleabag County Fairgrounds. There's rascal cider in the broom closet, help yourself. Just don't touch anything else or Glarmy will be mad." Glarmy the GHOST is extremely hostile and won't share a single thing other than the cider.
35–36	A massive, hundred-foot tall mushroom towers over the path. It releases spores that cause PCs to forget one Ability for the remainder of the session (Vitality Check to resist).
37–38	A boggle and a wug have tea on a tree stump over a delightful spread. They invite the PCs to join them. The food and tea is drugged, anyone who partakes falls unconscious (Vitality Check to resist). The wug and boggle rob the PCs of all of their money and food.
39–40	Piles of trash and junk litter the way forward. Navigating through it is a RANDOM MAZE, and at the end is a CANKERBOAR in its sty.
41–42	It starts to rain acid from green clouds in the sky. If the PCs don't find shelter immediately they suffer Dread and ruin a random, exposed non- Magic item.
43–44	The surrounding rocks are covered in threads of strange silk, the nest of a group of DRACOPILLARS.
45–46	A random PC steps on a SCRAGGLE, which screeches in pain and surprise, summoning a dozen more SCRAGGLES, itching for payback.
47–48	The PCs discover a comfy-looking giant shoe with a chimney and a door. If the PCs enter, a GIANT approaches from behind a dune and tries to put on the shoe, about to smoosh everyone!
49–50	The smell of brimstone wafts from a cave mouth. A DRAGON called Sowar Naldrak emerges with a venomous stare. Lore Check: Sowar Naldrak is probably two thousand years old and responsible for the destruction of the Felmog city of Pryn. Sowar Naldrak glares at the PCs as molten saliva sizzles on the rocks. "Have you come to make names for yourselves? Or are you just unlucky enough to disturb me? Both bore me, so answer well."
51–52	A random PC steps through a tiger pit trap and falls into what is now a USED T'BE TIGER den. The beast growls and hisses, hunger in their eyes.
53–54	The clatter of pots and pans echoes from inside a dilapidated hut. Opening the door reveals a flock of wild WYVERNS tearing the hut to pieces.
55–56	Recent flooding and a stretch of steep hillocks make travel slow and hard. Going around adds days of travel. However, there is a tunnel bored through one of the hills. BLINKING CAVE-INCHERS cover the walls.
57–58	BANDITS attack a nearby caravan and take the passengers hostage. They intend to sell them to a hungry GIANT INKPOT SPIDER in exchange for a hoard.
59–60	Miners flee a mine erupting with molten rock as a disturbed colony of VOLCANOIDS pursue. The only escape from the spewing lava is to leap from stone to stone.
61–62	A sorcerer in yellow robes, Vek Madorio, is delighted that his spell to summon the PCs has worked (he's lying). He presents a deadly ultimatum—steal the Black Tongue of Kanda from the vault in Subterranean Pits and Lairs HQ and return it to him, or face the SORCERER now and be destroyed. Lore Check: the Relic is made from the petrified tongue of the DRAGON Kanda, said to have the power to bestow the ability to make irrefutable commands.
63–64	A boggle cries for help, hanging from the sail of a spinning windmill. If the PCs attempt to save the boggle, she shoos them away. "There's no more room, find your own escape route!" Suddenly, WEORGS attack.
65–66	SARPATHI REAVERS riding SARVANGS ambush the PCs.
67–68	Perception Check or else quicksand engulfs each PC that failed. Not only is there the threat of drowning in sand, but should the PCs escape, BANDY CLAMS emerge and attack.
69–70	A random PC is stung by an insect suffering Dread, only to realize a buzzing cloud of CAIRN STINGERS is angry and attacking.
71–72	For whatever reason, the PCs' water supply is running lower than expected. Luckily, there is a nearby well. Unluckily, it's filled with DARKLINGS poised to attack.
73–74	There's an explosion nearby and a plume of smoke streaks across the sky. A giant piece of mining equipment falls directly toward the PCs as miners run for their lives in all directions!
75–76	The PCs find a seemingly abandoned mining camp, but are suddenly attacked by the crew of RIVAL DUNGEONEERS who accuse the PCs of claim jumping.
77–78	The PCs lose their way in the rain and mud, but a lonely light gleams amidst some ruins. A hungry OGRE named Progo dwells within.

81–82	The lead PC stumbles into a WARSP nest entrance, a large hole in the ground. They declare war, suspecting the PCs came to steal their loot.
83–84	A boggart woman stumbles down the path calling for help! SARPATHI REAVERS are kidnapping people from her village right now, including her husband.
85–86	The PCs are halted by FELMOG KNIGHTS on horseback. The leader, Ursalo, accuses them of stealing treasure from a Felmog caravan headed to the Middle-Route Run.
87–88	On the side of the path is a half-buried, stone statue of a human with a scowling face. Its eyes follow the PCs' approach. A gold amulet glitters around the statue's neck. Removing it releases the SORCERER, Nal Kadan, from his stone imprisonment. Nal Kadan is hostile, having been imprisoned by heroes a thousand years ago. The amulet, a Relic called Stonebind, was originally created to help a troubled queen sleep. It turns anyone who wears it to stone.
89–90	A sinkhole swallows the PCs, dropping them into a stone chamber. A SARGOG lurches from the shadows, offering the PCs death or servitude to it.
91–92	Former Krog & Sons Inc. RIVAL DUNGEONEERS demand the PCs hand over their belongings or join their new dungeoneering outfit.
93–94	A hungry BLYNX leaps from the dunes and tries to eat the PCs.

99–100	The PCs wander into an empty town. After a few moments, a goblin worker screams: “What are you doing?! Get out of there!” Demolition charges go off and buildings start to explode around the PCs!
