  1. It's looking like a rough place..! And weird of course, very magical. Good to see some familiar names in there, the Almas for example, and others from Zalchis. The whole idea of separating out an encounter table into times of day gives a lot of options. It tells a powerful story about the nature of the place, growing the atmosphere.
