Travel encounters

For the game I'm running, I needed an encounter table for regular travel across the land. So I made  this one, which is fairly basic but should provide everything necessary. The first ten are mundane and don't amount to much, basically just more interesting than "nothing happens," the next five are significant but mundane, and the last five are supernatural.

  1. A cloud looks like a flower
  2. Bloodstains on the trees
  3. Circle of mushrooms
  4. Triangular patch of flowers near the road
  5. Broken wagon
  6. Bridge over a small river
  7. A family of rabbits cross the path
  8. Howling winds pick up momentarily
  9. Light rain
  10. A set of gravestones nearby
  11. Bandits...
    1. Blocking the road
    2. Attacking merchants
    3. Fighting each other
    4. Poaching
    5. Sneak up from behind
    6. Pretending to be merchants
  12. Assassins
  13. Animals attack
    1. Wolves
    2. Bear
    3. Frenzied deer
    4. Boars
    5. Monkeys
    6. Ravens
  14. A storm brews while the group travels atop a hill
  15. Merchants approach carrying...
    1. Silks
    2. Weapons
    3. Exotic foods
    4. Slaves
    5. Training
    6. Plain tools
  16. Kobolds attack
  17. Undead attack
  18. Fairies offer power, wish to steal youth
  19. Spectral voices call out for help from a tomb
  20. Unnatural omens
