What awaits once the heroes leave the roads and villages of civilization behind and venture out into the wilds? Animals, monsters, and nature, of course! Bring spare rations.
This table is designed for a European inspired fantasy set in a technological and cultural age equivalent to the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period (ca. 1100-1750 AD) but most encounters can be applied to other climates than the forests and plains of Medieval Europe as well.

Give me five!
A young common dragon decides to sniff the characters out; the dragon is not looking for a fight per se but may be tempted, whether by the characters’ possessions or by their dinner.
A sheep dog tags along with the characters. It’s lost its shepherd and its sheep, and is delighted to have found new people to love.
A great hunting cat stalks the characters, possibly out of curiosity, possibly in the hope of catching one of them alone for an easy meal.
Years ago, somebody made camp here, and when they moved on they left something behind. This something might just be a rusty old knife or a few empty wine bottles; it can also be something valuable that was never meant to be abandoned in the wilds.
Entering a sheltered glade or dell the heroes happen upon a celebration of supernatural creatures. Whether they end up dancing and drinking with the sidhe, racing centaurs, or playing dice all night with friendly trolls, it’s going to be a tale worth telling! And, of course, everything vanishes without a trace come the dawn (except the hangovers, those stay).To generate more suggestions, simply refresh the page.
