Random Creature Determination
The Creatures encountered depend on which level beneath the surface the
player Characters are on.
Roll 1d6 on the table for the player Characters current Underworld Level,
then roll again on the indicated Creature Level table.
Number of Wandering Creatures Appearing
If the Underworld level beneath the surface corresponds with the Creature
Level Table then there is a single Creature. An exception is that Orcs and
the like will be in groups.
A party of more than 3 characters would draw double the number of
Creatures.
There can be places where 300 Hobgoblins dwell.
3 Hobgoblins can come abreast down a typical ten foot wide passage.
