Short Definition: The apperence or Spawn of an NPC or Hazards in the map
when exploring, there is a likely possibility to interact with other new creature and Features of the Environment.
We refer such interaction as Encounters.

Encounters might be harmless entailing an interaction with other friendly animals
or be with a dangerous predator, natural Hazards or Man-made traps

Encounters may be Planned by the GM for story reason,
or may be Wandering Encounters determined by a roll roughly each hours while no Planned Encounters are expected,

The beginning of An Encounter does not imply that Player and NPC necessarily see each other (see the short Definition)

To balance the Strength of the party
Wandering Encounter also consider the Total Party Level (sum of all the party Primary Trait level)
Note: The Total Party Level Cap at 20 under normal rules

Once a Wandering Encounter occurs the GM must also complete other rolls:
3d6: Kind of animal
for each 1 of the 3d6 subtract \(\frac{\text{Party Level}}{10}\)
for each 6 of the 3d6 add \(\frac{\text{Party Level}}{10}\)
Ex: \(3d6\to 1,2,4\). Party level 22. then the result will be \(1+2+4-2\)
1d6: Number of animals
1-5: Single individual
6: two individuals
then add \(\frac{\text{Party Level}}{10}\) Additional individuals

Exceptions:
Rats: roll 2d6, in subgroup of 1-4
Family of Predator: 1=Solitary, 2=2 adults, 3=2 adult, 1 juvenile, 4=2 adult, 2 juveniles, 5= 3 adults, 1 juvenile, 6= 3 adults 2 juvenile.
Humans: Small same-sex group
Coatis: groups of 1-6
Flying Wolves: 2d6

1d6 Age of Animal (Roll of each animal)
To the roll Add the lowest level in the party that will be the age of the Animal

The type of Wandering Encounter may also be determined by Daytime and Location.

Outskirters: rabbits may be found if a roll of 14 is obtained usually in a group of 1-5
Traps: Traps may be found if a roll of 13 is obtained

In a predator-prey relations, An Encounters will proceed in phases:

Spotting
Pursuit
Combat

Each one need to happen before proceeding to the next one or the Encounters will conclude
Or In the Simplified ruleset one can skip the Pursuit phase
