Stradwald encounter tables Pt.1

These are my random encounter tables for Stradwald.  I make the tables specific for each region as players explore the map. so far my players have visited:   The Rott-wood.  The Swamps of Suck-marsh, The Bog-highway,  The foothills of Contrition.

The tables are weighted so that players aren't constantly finding dragons and angels of decay but everything on the chart has the potential to be pretty nasty. I dont always roll on the doing what? part of the chart that is there mostly for ideas.
