Random Encounters

Random Encounters may occur any time the player character travels through the wilderness of Arkham. They may entail scripted events or combat. Certain encounters will only be available to the character after beginning a particular quest or after having engaged a particular NPC.

Combat Encounters
There is no shortage of combat available throughout Arkham. Random combat encounters may be had with:


 * Carrion Dogs
 * Cultists
 * Pickman Ghouls
 * Raving Lunatics
 * Wax Face's Men

If a character detects enemies while travelling they will be given the option of avoiding combat:


 * Thanks to [character], the party noticed danger from afar.

Scripted Encounters
Scripted encounters will force the character to make a choice or (more likely) perform a skill check in order to escape a dangerous situation. There are a number of scripted encounters the character may chance upon:


 * Animal Herd
 * Anomaly Field (Nerve Mushrooms)
 * Anomaly Field (Darkness)
 * Anomaly Field (Wind)
 * Brambly Area
 * Eldritch Storm
 * Gargantuan Silhouette
 * Labyrinthine Ruins
 * Mist Filled Chasm
 * Phantom Road
 * Throng of Ghosts
