Time for your daily encounter! Today your players are clambering around on a glaciated volcano on Ullr's Island. Which part of that is not a bad idea?

90 giant bats! (luckily only at night, but this could be a random TPK)
1 giant weasel (night only)
3 mountain apes!
Ash eruption! (could be another random TPK)
Geyser!
1 giant weasel – but only at night
1 giant weasel (only at night)
Fever (weasel fever, maybe?)
4 wolves
2 wolverines
5 mountain lions!
Meteor shower!
Poison gas! Luckily only “stinking cloud” strength.

Man, natural events on a volcano are a killer. And weirdly, no hunting parties on “Viking Hunting Island”. Maybe they knew about the impending eruption?

Welcome back to daily encounters! In this installment, your players have entered the creepy cult village of Wold Phellora. Hey, what's with the octopus statue?

13 stirges!
1 viper
Patrol of 18 light infantry cultists led by Imbos (11th level fighter!)
Heat wave! But only in a desert, so no encounter.
1 intelligent, evil giant weasel (only at night)
Patrol of 19 light infantry cultists led by Sinuthaim (8th level fighter).
Patrol of 9 light infantry cultists led by Ganos (6th level fighter) and accompanied by Thulornos (5th level magician).

Time for your daily encounter! This time your players have made landfall on Xenadon, another island inhabited by a witch and her crazed servants - in this case renegade Amazons, although it seems they are (sadly) fully clothed. How many will your players meet?

1 black bear
21 aurochs
1 viper
11 giant ants!
Patrol of 18 renegade Amazon medium infantry led by Alexandra (4th level fighter) and accompanied by Artemisia (10th level magician!)
Violet lotus!
1 giant komodo dragon
Hunting party of 13 renegade Amazon archers and 18 dogs led by Theodosia. They haven’t taken any game.
Patrol of 18 renegade Amazon medium infantry led by Eudoxia (3rd level fighter). I guess the hunters tipped them off (if the PCs let any survive, that is).
11 giant frogs!
Hunting party of 20 renegade Amazon archers and 7 dogs led by Black Artemisia. They haven’t taken any game either.
Violet lotus!
Insect swarm!

Nasty spot. Meanwhile, we're up to the letter X - getting very close to the end!

Great picture!

30 slaves being taken to the mines, escorted by 17 light infantry brutal mercenary thugs working for the Witch Queen led by Ilcemor (12th level fighter!) Can the PCs do anything to help (and will they even care)?
1 riding horse
1 ghul! (and Yithorium is actually located in a desert) Could be a random TPK…
1 small animal skeleton
1 domesticated woolly mammoth
Patrol of 15 light infantry brutal mercenary thugs working for the Witch Queen led by Lustaivon (3rd level fighter). Probably looking for escaped slaves.
2 night-gaunts (man, Yithorium is a really fun city)
Sleet storm – doesn’t apply in the desert
2 gargoyles
Snowstorm – but not in a desert
Simpralleor (2nd level Chaotic Good cleric) accompanied by 3 1st level assistants and 7 mercenary light infantry. Probably trying to save the souls of the Queen’s depraved subjects.

Ha ha I rolled a ghul! The Witch Queen sure knows how to put the F-U-N in "FUNgi from Yuggoth" (hey, you try making jokes about all of these).
