You have the night shift for protecting your group today. While walking around you encounter a sleeping man who obviously seems to be armed, having a gun and knife. Do you disarm him and leave him? Do you disarm him and then wake up your group to take him hostage? Or do you use your items to do something different?
Roll The Dice: 1 - 2 he wakes up before you are able to disarm him, you die. 3 - 5 You succeed in what you chose to do, you have acquired a gun and knife 6 you get scared, and you notify your group. By the time you get back, the man is gone but has left a knife.
You encounter a series of treehouses, with a capacity just right for your group. Do you stay here for the night? Keep in mind that it is nearing the winter time, and the temperature at night is extra chilly. (If players have a tarp it is not usable in this environment)
1-5: Your group does not get ambushed and all is well. You are well rested, and a reroll is available if you get a bad result.
6: Your group gets ambushed, and your group leaves half of the water supply and all forms of mobile shelter in the treehouses.
If you do not: The ground is wet, and located in a swampy area. Therefore your group cannot sleep on the ground. By the end of the night, your group has spent too much time searching for shelter and is extremely tired. Any dice rolls of 1 or 6 must be rerolled on the next question.

Right: Your whole group has enjoyed the food, except for the medical student, (who was suspicious of the food and didn't eat it). The student was correct, and your group has gotten sick.
According to the medical student, you have all acquired some type of influenza. Do you:
a) Visit the school you were in in the past, and ask the other group for help.
b) Allow the medical student to try and treat the group.
c) Just leave the sickness, and continue your journey. However, your group will consume all of the water and food you have.
Your group encounters an old farmhouse and enters inside to investigate, hopefully seeing if there was some food. Inside the farmhouse, your group finds decaying bodies that seem to have been eaten in the past. Walking further in, your group encounters an unarmed cannibal. What do you do?

4-6: The engineer is incompetent and cannot open the lock. Your group must sleep in the woods and a group member develops pneumonia.
(Must be here after doing Encounters 300)
Wrong: The bandits chased you off. Luckily they did not have large weapons. They only had 2 police batons. Two members of your group receive severe arm injuries. The medical student has never seen this type of trauma before and does not have the confidence to treat it.
To have the student treat the members, answer this multiple choice question.
What type of ammo did the father find in the bunker full of food? (20 Seconds)
a) 9mm rounds + .38 specials

Your group encounters a heavily armed group of people who do not seem to be cannibals at first glance. Their group seems similar to yours, as they have women and children as well, hiding behind those that are armed.
The group will think you are hostile unless you explain that you are not. How do you tell the other group this? (Open ended answer, result depends on how you explain your actions)
Your group finds a farmhouse. It seems like all the other buildings, torn apart, but is still manageable for short periods of living. Given this, there was surely someone here before, or are presently there at this moment.
Do you go and investigate the farmhouse and take shelter there for a night? Or do you take your group back on the road?
Investigate: As you're walking up the hill, you spot bear traps all around the property. You warn your group and tell them to walk in a single file line to avoid anyone getting caught in a bear trap.
1-3: A group member, (not a very bright one), decides to step to the side to see how far the farmhouse is. This ends up in the member walking right into a bear trap. Their leg has to be amputated as the bear trap is extremely rusty and had fungi on it. Your group fixes the group member up and stays in the farmhouse for the night. No one got a good sleep due to the group member groaning all night due to the pain. (-200 points)
4-6: No one is being an idiot and everyone makes it to the farmhouse with all their limbs. Everyone gets a goodnight sleep and heads out on the exact same way they came from. (Full amount of points awarded)
