that are stopped or camped normally. Parties camping in
secret or hiding use the Concealed Camping/Hiding column.
A party that lights a fire is never camping in secret unless
they can somehow hide the light and smoke.
Desolate areas are not settled and generally do not support
great numbers of wildlife or monsters.
Wilderness areas are not settled but support significant
wildlife or monsters.
Frontier areas are lightly settled, but communities are small
and far apart.
Settled areas feature broad stretches of cleared land, small
villages and thorps no more than a day’s travel from one another,
and some patrols from nearby cities or fortresses.
There are fifteen general adventuring areas in the Unapproachable
East, whose encounter chances are described in tables
7–2 through 7–16 below. These supplant the encounter tables
in the FORGOTTEN REALMS DUNGEON MASTER’s Screen, since
they provide more localized encounter possibilities. Encounter
areas are: Aglarond and Altumbel; the Aglarondan coastal
waters; Ashanath and the North Country; the Dragonjaw and
Thesk Mountains; the Forest of Lethyr; the Firward, Icerim
and Northern Sunrise Mountains; the Great Dale; Lake Ashane;
Rashemen; the Rawlinswood; the Sunrise Mountains; Thay;
Thesk; the Umber Marshes; and the Yuirwood.
How to Use the
Encounter Tables
Each encounter table includes the following information:
d%: The result on percentile dice that will generate this encounter.
Use the Day or Night column, as appropriate.
Encounter: The type of creature encountered. Some of these
may be groups, such as an orc patrol or merchant caravan. If
the listed creature is a template, use the sample creature whose
statistics appear in the template entry.
Notations that identify a monster’s source follow some entries,
as shown below. If there is no note, the creature is listed
in the Monster Manual.
