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...
- teetering precariously on the edge of a glowing crater.
- half-ruined, sprawled across the ground in a hundred yard slough.
- consumed by overgrowth so thick you can barely make out its silhouette.
- studded with ad-hoc fortifications and slapdash palisade walls.
- a little worse for the wear, but seems to be mostly intact.
- in miraculously pristine condition, as if the cataclysm was yesterday.
And currently occupied by...
- [Roll twice on this table and combine the results into one hideous monstrosity].
- giant vermin that cluster in the shadows.
- a band of brigands in irregular attire.
- one giant, mutant predator who marks their turf for a mile around.
- ancient automata equipped with precursor weaponry.
- a well-organized salvage party from the nearest bartertown.
They are...
- just finishing looting the place. All the best bits are piled up, ready to go.
- wounded and hoping to avoid attention.
- looking to trade their rare cargo.
- under attack by (roll on the previous table).
- in the midst of an internecine power struggle. Violence could break out at any moment.
- in need of hired hands for a very particular job.
