Random Encounters

DM asks all players to roll a die in one of the following situations:

• When traveling from one location to another
• Once per period of general exploration or travel in a dangerous or hostile area
• During any period of indecisive discussion or idleness in a hostile area
• When resting in a hostile or dangerous location

Dangerous: an area where there are known hazards - typically terrain and wildlife
Hostile an area where antagonistic creatures dwell or are searching for the characters
There is an encounter when any player rolls the same number as the DM rolls on their die. Typically the lower the number the more dangerous the encounter.
