Mountain & Hill Encounters

Mountains and hills provide sweeping vistas to delight one’s eyes. They can ignite one’s imagination for adventure ideas both for overland travel in the case of a hexcrawl, or for the setting for a dungeon or other adventure location. The following pages offer suggestions to help GMs with their game prep.

As with all random tables, often one need not roll on them for creative results. Just looking at the suggested possibilities can get our own creative juices flowing.

Rather than a collection of encounter tables, the Encounters section is geared towards situations for encounters in hilly and mountainous terrain. Often, the composition of a creature or group that is encountered is easy to determine, but the reason or business of the encountered party is what adds a
level of interest to the meeting.
