A casual look at the area map reveals
that, in general, only terrain features are
shown. Wilderness encounters of special
sorts are not given, for two reasons. First,
the length of the material included herein
precludes extensive detailing of the outdoor
areas. Second, as it is meant for long-term
campaigning, it is absolutely necessary for
the DM to personalize his or her map to suit
the tempo and direction of events in the
group milieu. There are two built-up areas
shown on the map, and these are dealt with
in varying degrees of detail.

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS
(OUTDOORS)

Check for random encounters when the
party first approaches Nulb, and whenever
they leave. Check about halfway down the
road. If at night, check twice. When a group
is exploring off the road, check six times per
day: morning, noon, afternoon, nightfall,
midnight, and pre-dawn.
Check only once if the party is traveling
by water vessel. If they actually submerge
for some reason, check each hour. Likewise,
if the river is under observation, check each
hour, but not unless there is exposure to
attack; crayfish and gar are not observed in
most cases, so simply omit any mention of
the encounter.
You may modify these tables as desired.
