[Descent: Road to Legends] Some Extra Encounters

[Willow]

Willow's Alternate Wilderness Encounters

Using These Encounters

Replaying Road to Legend and looking for some new encounters? Look no further! Here are twenty six new encounters to mix things up.

Method A: Use only the new encounters. Draw a card from a 26 card deck (Clubs and Spades only), and reference the chart to see what encounter you have.

Method B: Draw from the standard Road to Legend encounters, but if you draw an encounter you've already played, draw from the new deck instead.

Method C: Before each encounter, roll a die. On a Power Enchancement, draw from the Road to Legend deck, otherwise draw from the new cards.
