GLoGtober Challenge #2: Random encounters on an ancient road.

Along the road, you come upon...

Go here.

Roll a d586 for the page, then a d20 for the image.

Describe the result.

It is...

  1. teetering precariously on the edge of a glowing crater.
  2. half-ruined, sprawled across the ground in a hundred yard slough.
  3. consumed by overgrowth so thick you can barely make out its silhouette.
  4. studded with ad-hoc fortifications and slapdash palisade walls.
  5. a little worse for the wear, but seems to be mostly intact.
  6. in miraculously pristine condition, as if the cataclysm was yesterday.

And currently occupied by...

  1. [Roll twice on this table and combine the results into one hideous monstrosity].
  2. giant vermin that cluster in the shadows.
  3. a band of brigands in irregular attire.
  4. one giant, mutant predator who marks their turf for a mile around.
  5. ancient automata equipped with precursor weaponry.
  6. a well-organized salvage party from the nearest bartertown.

They are...

  1. just finishing looting the place. All the best bits are piled up, ready to go.
  2. wounded and hoping to avoid attention.
  3. looking to trade their rare cargo.
  4. under attack by (roll on the previous table).
  5. in the midst of an internecine power struggle. Violence could break out at any moment.
  6. in need of hired hands for a very particular job.
