<p>Heres 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 Ive 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>
