<p>Here’s how to do giraffe encounters.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Roll 3d6. One for <code>creature</code>, one for
<code>want/behavior</code>, one for <code>complication</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Count down that many lines in each column, skipping over any
crossed out items, and note what you got.</p></li>
<li><p>Cross those items off the table.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the combination of <code>creature</code> +
<code>want/behavior</code> + <code>complicaton</code> to create an
imaginative encounter.</p></li>
<li><p>Repeat as many times as you like.</p></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><em>Example</em></strong>: <em>I roll 1, 3, 2: a crocodile on
the hunt, but there are snakes! Roleplay out the scenario.</em><br />
<em>For my next roll, 4, 4, 3, I count down that many on the columns,
skipping what I’ve already rolled previously. I get zebra, on a
pilgrimage, wounded.</em></p>
<p>If any dice rolls “best leaves” then start to wrap up loose ends and
towards a conclusion. Ideally one in which you finally get the best
leaves!</p>

## Encounters ## GIRAFFE ENCOUNTERS
How to: Roll d6. Count down that many numbers from the top of the first column, skipping over any crossed out items. Do the same for the next two columns. Resolve the scenario and then cross out the items you got. Repeat as many times as you like. Here's how to do giraffe encounters.
Example: I roll 1, 3, 2: a crocodile on the hunt, but there are snakes! Roleplay out the scenario. For my next roll, 4, 4, 3, I count down that many on the columns, skipping what I've already rolled previously. I get zebra, on a pilgrimage, wounded. 1. Roll 3d6. One for `creature`, one for `want/behavior`, one for `complication`.
| d6 | creature | want/behavior | complication | 2. Count down that many lines in each column, skipping over any crossed out items, and note what you got.
| ---- | ---------- | --------------- | -------------- |
| 1 | crocodile | hungry | toothache | 3. Cross those items off the table.
| 2 | mongoose | just wants to chill | snakes! |
| 3 | lion | hunting | lazy/bored | 3. Use the combination of `creature` + `want/behavior` + `complicaton` to create an imaginative encounter.
| 4 | warthog | wallowing in mud | wounded/injured |
| 5 | zebra | on pilgrimage | fleeing someone/thing | 4. Repeat as many times as you like.
| 6 | wildebeast | passing through | paranoid |
| 7 | humans | poaching | lost | ***Example***: *I roll 1, 3, 2: a crocodile on the hunt, but there are snakes! Roleplay out the scenario.* \
| 8 | wild dogs | care for the dead | it was all a ruse! | *For my next roll, 4, 4, 3, I count down that many on the columns, skipping what I've already rolled previously. I get zebra, on a pilgrimage, wounded.*
| 9 | cheetah | laying an ambush | blackmailed |
|10 | giraffe | looking for a mate | way too ugly/awkward | If any dice rolls "best leaves" then start to wrap up loose ends and towards a conclusion.
|11 | elephant | digging for water | sick child at home | Ideally one in which you finally get the best leaves!
|12 | hyena | set up a lair | blackmailed/tricked |
