From Introduction: A deep well, the tantalizing darkness of an open cave mouth, a fissure in the face of a mighty cliff, or the depths of an abandoned mine shaft. The earth of the fantasy world is a rich honeycomb of endless underground realms, some excavated by the busy hands of industrious but long dead civilisations, others burrowed by wild animals or gigantic monsters. Yet more are simply natural clefts in the fabric of stone and rock, portals into the belly of the world and irresistible temptations to the inquisitive instincts of passing adventurers. Here are fourteen encounters for the deep dark places of the world. Wilderness Encounters 4, eradicates the clichés and provides the Gamesmaster with a quick and easy-to-use reference of exciting, original and unorthodox scenarios. Whether used as part of a larger adventure, or as adventures in themselves, this host of inspiring plot hooks and scenarios will bring colour and intrigue to the dankest underground moment.
