What happens while the characters are plodding along the king’s roads connecting towns and cities in fairly populated lands? These encounters are intended for roads where the heroes are more likely to meet other travellers than wildlife or monsters.
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.).

A craftsman is travelling from one town to another with his wife and a couple of children. The little family will be quite happy to share camp and swap news; the roads are safer when you travel in numbers.There’s a peacock strutting his stuff in the middle of the road and no one knows whence he came.
A cat saunters down the road all by itself, looking quite content with itself.
A moose or other large forest animal suddenly bursts out of the woods, runs across the road, and disappears into the bushes on the other side.
A small band of lepers or other ill unfortunates struggle past, using their rattles or bells to warn other travellers to keep their distance. They will appreciate gifts of food or money.
