From Motojoto:

“I feel a large portion of an average DND game is taken up by travel time, and while you can just have your players arrive where they want to go with no issues, I fondly remember the random encounters my gm’s have thrown my way.

To that end I have created two travel encounters for a game I’m running set in a valley where the sun never rises.

A Hunter’s tower littered with traps giving players a chance to show off their combat skills as well as maybe learn a thing or two about the region should they spare its frightened inhabitant.
And a moonlit bridge spanning a rivers length, being the perfect place for a party to meet an odd character or to be ambushed by a winged foe.”
