Outer Ward Ground Level Wandering Monsters

Roll for random encounters using 1d6 once every six turns. On a 1, there is an encounter. Double the odds if the group is making a lot of noise or in similar situations.

Dungeon Dressing

Dungeon dressing can make a dungeon seem more realistic, adding points of flavor and miscellaneous details. When added sparingly, it can add to the dungeon. I have included dungeon dressing as part of the random encounter tables throughout the dungeon as an alternate to encountering monsters, if desired.

Use common sense when applying dungeon dressing. If the characters are in a room they could feel a gust of cold air, but a puddle of urine, corpse, or helmet would not suddenly appear from nowhere. Ignore if the result is incongruous.
