Wandering Encounter Table for ‘The Swamp/Sourtongue’s Bog’

 


Roll 1d12

1: 1 Pixie (Basic Rules) or good-aligned spirit of the troll, now released.  Might give some kind of help, treasure or magic item to the party.

2: 1 Willowisp/malevolent spirit, released from troll

3: 1-2 Giant leeches (Expert Rules)

4: Quicksand.  First character in marching order makes a dex save; 2nd makes a dex save at advantage to avoid.  Roll a d4.  This show how quickly they go under.  A 3 or 4 means member can be saved by quickly throwing a rope. 1-2 rounds means they go under right away and a more radical and risky rescue must be attempted in order to save the player(s)

5: 4 giant toads (Expert Rules)

6: 2-8 Giant centipedes (Basic Rules)

7: Thick Fog.  Party gets lost and walks in circles for a half day, AND, roll d6 again for another chance to have a wandering encounter.

8: Insect Swarm (Basic Rules)

9: Sourtongue’s lair is discovered.  Determine potential treasure using Expert Rules.

10: 5-8 Lizard Men (Basic Rules)

11: 3-6 Robber Flies (Basic Rules)

12: A dangerous or carnivorous plant, like the Mantrap (2nd ed)

*italicized encounters can only happen once

Updated Map of Mareth

 Note that the scale is a bit off, especially between Burke and Duervar and that the territory to the east is not yet mapped out (the Khaz Mirioth might or might not keep going all the way to the sea, for example).

More artwork

 My own artwork can't compare to the art submitted by fans, but since work is so bonkers right now and I don't have much time to write, I thought I'd post a couple of pieces I made as examples to show my digital art class.  These are achieved by a combination of hand drawing/paint and photo manipulation.  They require more patience and judgement than talent.  Anyone can do it.  If you want to learn the technique, let me know in the comments.
