Travel
Travelling to a destination of an adventure can be in itself an adventure. Rather than just set up encounter after encounter, it is advised to leave most of the actions relevant to the adventure and story that has been designed.
If there is a chance of a random event to happen along the route of the hero’s journey, then use this chart if you want to add a random element to that journey.
