A supplement for The Jungles of Chult Factbook

By PDX_Mike

“You leave the safety of Port Castiglar early in the morning. Your travel was quiet the first day with only some flooded
streams and swampy ground slowing your progress. Watch the first night was uneventful. A brilliant meteor streaked
across the sky just before sunrise and the jungle around you echoed with the shrieks and cries of the frighten beasts.

Day two has been a challenge. Just before breaking camp, your paladin brushed against an over ripe Hunta gourd and it
burst open coating her in nauseating chum. As you headed out onto the trail, a branch broke loose high overhead and
gave your mage a vicious clubbing for standing in the wrong spot at the wrong time. You’ve barely made headway on the
trail as you’ve hit an area of the jungle that is choked with heavy bamboo forests. Its almost 2 hours until sundown and
now far up ahead you hear the low pounding of drums. What do you want to do?”

This supplement assumes the DM has access to the following official content to reference monster capabilities. If you do
not own one or more of these books, you can substitute creatures as you see fit.

• Tomb of Annihilation (ToA)

• Monster Manual (MM)
• Volo’s Guide to Monsters (VGtM)
• Tomb of Beasts (ToB)

Traveling the jungle can be interesting and/or dangerous. The intention of this encounter chart is to enhance the
travelling experience by including interesting anecdotes for the players and only introducing hostile encounters that will
be challenging to party. Hostile encounters that the party would overcome can be assumed to either flee from them or
described briefly by the GM as narrative rather than spending session time resolving.

To use these tables, it’s recommended the GM generate the encounters outside the play session and have them ready
to reference during play. The template in the Appendix B is provided for easy of tracking.

The method to generate encounters is as follows.

1. Decide how many days of travel you want to generate encounters for. Then determine which hours of
those days have the potential for an encounter. To do this, select the time of day you want to start
checking on and roll 1d4. Add the result (in hours) to your starting hour and that is the first possible
encounter. Example: The party is leaving town at 6am so that is when you want start checking. You roll a
3 on the dice so the first possible encounter is at (6am + 3 hours) 9am.
2. Make note that your first encounter check is at 9am and roll again to see when the next check is. Example:
Your first encounter check is 9am, you roll a 1 on the dice, the next encounter check is 10am. Make note
and continue rolling until you’ve gone through the full time you expect the party to be travelling. This
should result in approximately 12 possible encounters per day.
3. Now, for each possible encounter you’ve noted; roll on the table below. To determine which Noteworthy
Action happens, roll 1d1000. (to roll a 1000 sided die, roll 3d10 sequentially. First roll is 100’s, Second is
10’s, Third is 1’s – thus if a rolled a 8 on your first roll, a 2 on your second and a 10 on your third, the result
would be 820)

 Dice Roll Result Comment
001-675 No Encounter Nothing of note has happened.
676 Shortcut For the day's travel, you've gained an additional 10 or 20 miles (DM flip a coin,
heads is 10 miles, tails is 20)
677-678 Scouting An unusually good view is provided as the party crested a ridge. They can scout out
the miles of path before them. The party should be given the opportunity to avoid
or ambush any random encounter for the next 8 hours.
679 Remains 1d4 corpses lay on the ground. The DM can decide how they were killed. These
bodies have not been looted and among the mundane items lay an item from
Magic Item Table C on page 145 of the Dungeon Masters Guide.
680-681 Rare Plants The party has found a patch of rare and valuable plants (fruit, leaves, roots, berries,
nuts, or mushroom). These plants will be worth 1d100gp to any Chultan merchant.
682-687 Triceratops The Ytepka are travelling the area looking for information on foreigners. They
Society generally travel in a male & female pair pretending to be a couple from a local
tribe. They will ask where the party is headed and can usually provide a good
estimate of how far away that location is (for no "lost" locations).
688-692 Wandering A Tabaxi cleric of the jungle spirits offers help to the group. He is a cleric of 2d4
Cleric level and has nothing of value on him. He is willing to create food/water or cure
disease and help in any other way he can. He is not willing to join the party and will
wander off after providing any assistance he is able. His race/age/gender is up to
the DM.
693-697 Herd of A group of 1d12 herbivores (most likely reptilian) wander past the party. They
Herbivores approach within easy bowshot.
698-702 Useful Herbs The PC's find a patch of rare and useful herbs. The PC's can identify that they are
unusual without a DC check. A Survival DC10 for native Chultans and DC15 for non-
natives will identify their type. These herbs can be exotic cooking ingredients or
spell components. Harvested, they will fetch up to 1d10x15gp to interested buyers.
703-707 Merchants A group of merchants and their guards are searching the area (harvesting rare
components, trying to find trading opportunities, etc) and have supplies they are
willing to sell. Their prices are 150% of normal pricing but there is a 75% chance
they are carrying any particular item on pages 149 & 150 of the Players Handbook.
708-712 Spy A Yuan-ti spy disguised as a Tabaxi Shaman approaches the party. He will provide
information about the area and ask about the party’s intentions. If the party is
doing anything that involves the Yuan-ti, the spy will begin tracking them and any
further encounters with Yuan-ti's should be considered prepared for the
adventurer’s arrival.
713-717 Artus Cimber Artus is a former member of the Harpers. He is searching the jungle for a guardian
Naga he believes will help him find his lost love. See Tomb of Annihilation Appendix
D for details on Artus.
718-722 Chwinga A foot-tall black humanoid with a stark white masklike face suddenly takes an
interest in one of the PC’s. The Chwinga will travel with the group for the
remainder of the day and cast either Guidance or Resistance to aid the particular
PC’s they have taken a liking to. See Tomb of Annihilation Appendix D for details
on Chwinga
723-730 Eclipse Moon or Sun depending on time of day. Within the jungle, travelers won't be able
to see the eclipse happen, they will just experience the dark jungle turning
substantially blacker and the animals of the area going silent until it passes. This is
an omen to almost all religions.
731-738 Meteor in Sky A bright burning meteor streaks across the sky. Characters may not know it's a
meteor, for all they know it could be sentient.

3
 739-747 Remnants of a Gnawed bones and scat litter the area. A tracking DC15 will identify how many days
humanoid camp old the camp is. The camp is 1d8 days old. The DM should choose what race of
humanoid the camp is from. Common humanoids encountered are Goblins,
Lizardmen, Grung and Garillon.
748-755 Temporary Someone has erected a temporary shrine. This can be a pile of stones, a rough built
Shrine shrine, a pile of bones or whatever is appropriate to the god being worshiped. A
DC10 Religion check will identify the god. If the DC roll is at least 5 or better, the PC
can identify the general alignment of the god (ie Evil, Good, Law, Chaos).
756-763 Remnants of a This was an organized and defended camp at one time. Players may make a DC10
military camp Tracking check to identify details about the camp. The camp is 2d10 days old. The
number of occupants were 2d20. The DM should select the race appropriate to the
region. Generally, it will be Batiri Goblins, Tabaxi Humans, Other Human
mercenaries or slavers.
764-771 Corpses There was a fight here 1d10 days ago. 1d6 bodies are strewn about the path. The
DM should decide the race of the bodies and how they died (slain by weapons,
claws, breath attack, etc). If slain by a creature, there is a 1 in 6 chance there are
still valuables on the bodies.
772-781 Carcass The remains of a large beast/dino lays in the bush. It's clear a large predator has
killed it. The DM should describe clues to how it died based on the predator that
killed it. Examples: chest sized bites out of it, Torso torn in half, 4" holes punctured
into it, burn marks, etc.
782-790 Goodberries There's a patch of Goodberries along the trail. Survival DC5 to identify them as
Goodberries. These berries only stay edible for 24 hours once picked.
791-798 Troop or Bask A large group of primates OR a large group of reptiles is moving quickly through the
migration area 1d4 x 150' away. They create a ruckus of shrieks and rattling of branches as
they charge through.
799-806 Druidspeak The party notices an out of place collection of vines/leaves/branches. If anyone can
read Druidspeak, the message indicates that this area is under the protection of a
druid of Ubtao. The message was left 4d10 days ago.
807-815 Ruins Remnants of an ancient empire are found. This can be as simple as a single
collapsed pillar or a still standing building. Unless the DM chooses otherwise, the
ruins are empty.
816-823 Signstone A stone tablet has a single rune is standing upright on the trail. The rune designates
this area as one of the many Tabaxi tribes. A DC10 History check will provide details
on the specific tribe for any who have any experience with the Tabaxi.
824-832 Roar Somewhere off in the far distance a large beast lets out a ferocious roar. A tracking
DC15 will accurately identify the direction and distance. The beast is 1d4/4
(between 1/4 and 1 mile) away. If the party wants to hunt the beast, base the CR
on how far away the beast is. Hearing the roar from a mile away through the jungle
indicates a very large creature.
833-840 Winterscape A 120 foot radius zone of the jungle is magically frosted. The humidity of the jungle
creates a thick cold fog that cascades out of the zone and obstructs vision within it.
Everything in the 120’ radius is covered in a thick crust of ice. The winterscape was
created with an artifact and cannot be dispelled.
841-843 Steam Vents Area has gas erupting or seeping from the ground. Movement is reduced by 1/2 for
1d4 hours.

of infesting and destroying rations and each member of the party has a 20% chance
of contracting a single random disease.
859-861 Diseased Water A swampy area the party moves through holds diseases. Each member of the party
must make a DC10 Survival role or contract a single random disease.
862-864 Mold Patch A massive patch of ground mold. It requires a DC15 Perception roll to notice. If the
party walks through it, it kicks up spore dust. Anyone breathing it but make a DC20
Constitution check or get respiratory disease causing 2d4 Constitution loss until
cured.
865-867 Yellow Mold A patch of yellow mold covers a well shaded section of the path. A DC10 Perception
Patch check will notice it prior to entering. If disturbed, the mold releases a cloud of
spores into the air. All within 10' must make a DC12 Constitution save or their max
HP are reduced by 1d10. For characters that failed their save, each minute
thereafter they must make another DC12 Constitution check or have their max HP
reduced by 2d10. This save is required every minute until the character reaches 0

damage.

save to avoid it or take 2d10 bludgeoning damage.
864-866 Screeching Several 3' tall mushrooms grow by the party's path. As the party approaches within
Fungus 20', they emit a series of very loud screeches. This alerts any beasts in the area and
any hunting for the next 1d4 hours is at disadvantage.
867-870 Heavy Rain A sudden heavy rainstorm rolls in. 1d8 x1/2 inches of rain pours down per hour. All
terrain is considered difficult (1/2 speed) and Perception checks are made at
disadvantage. The storm lasts for 1d8 hours.

mounts surge out of the water and attack. See page 8

they will identify an additional document the group failed to obtain before
exploring. A small fee (20gp per party member) will buy them off, otherwise they
will confiscate equipment worth that much. See page 13

attack with everything they have at the first excuse or disrespect. See page 19
954-960 Nagas The Nagas have claimed this area and will attack any humanoid that intrudes. See
page 19
961-965 Red Wizards The Red Wizards are searching the jungle for a powerful artifact. They are not

treasure hunters but hide their status as members of the Red Wizards if possible. If
questioned about the undead in their group, they will say they are merely
necromantic specialists. See page 20
966-970 The Heart of A particularly dark area of the jungle reveals the ancient remnants of a holy site. A
Darkness slab altar is surrounded by 6 squat idols peeking above the thick ferns. See page 21
971-975 Treefolk As the group moves along the trail, suddenly the trees ahead take on a humanoid

randomly on the Disease table or assign the most common affliction of Jungle
Fever. See Appendix B (page 35) for disease list.
996 Flash Flood As the characters are crossing a streambed or valley, a flash flood bursts upon the
area. Characters must make a DC12 Survival check to get to a safe location. Those
who fail the check are swept away in the flood and moved 40' per round with the
water. Each round they are in the flood, characters take 1d10 bludgeoning damage
from debris in the water and must make a DC10 Athletics check or drown. At the
beginning of each round, characters in the flood can make a DC15 Survival check to
extract themselves from the floodwaters.
997 Sinkhole The ground opens up beneath the party. Characters can make a DC12 Acrobatics
check to avoid dropping 1d8 x 10' onto a rocky floor below. Falling damage is 1d6
for each 10'
998 Meteor sizeable meteor falls in the jungle. The characters hear the approaching roar 3
seconds before impact. It strikes within 20' of the group and blasts a large (20')
crater in the earth. All characters within 40' radius take 3d6 piercing damage from
the flying debris.
999 Quicksand What appeared to be solid ground is soupy swamp covered in a thin crust of jungle
debris. Characters must make a DC12 Survival check to spot the danger. Anyone
walking on it will suddenly break through the crust and sink chest deep into fetid
water. The slick muddy bank requires an Athletics DC12 check to extract yourself
from the swamp. After 3 failed attempts, the character begins taking drowning
damage.
1000 Predator A deadly creature is in the area and has taken an interest in the party. The DM is
encouraged to pick something the characters stand no chance against in a fight.

Appendix B: Disease Table
Characters who have contracted a disease will begin to feel the Stage 1 Symptoms within 1d6 hours after
infection. After symptoms appear, infected characters must make a Constitution Saving Throw of the DC listed
in the table below every 24 hours. Failure on this Saving Throw results in the disease progressing to the next
Stage of severity. Success results in the Stage of severity reducing by one level. If the Symptoms are only at
Stage 1 and a successful DC is made, the character is cured of the disease. A critical success results in an
immediate cure of the disease. A critical failure results in the disease progressing 2 stages rather than just one.

If characters spend three days recuperating (no travel or strenuous activities), they make their Constitution
Saving throws with advantage.

If a character successfully recovers past Stage 1, their body has fought off the disease. They will recover fully in
1d6 days. The current symptoms they have will persist until that time passes.

Once a character reaches the maximum Stage for a disease, no more Constitution rolls are allowed for
recovery. The disease can only be cured through the use of magic.

These diseases are from the real world, further diseases such as the Mad-Monkey Disease and Throat leeches
are described in WotC Tomb of Annihilation.

Confusion: This has the same effect as the 4th level enchantment “Confusion” with the exception that a d20 is
rolled to determine the creature’s behavior. Any roll above 8 allows the character to behave normally.

Diarrhea: Character must consume 2 gallons of water per day or become dehydrated. Any time a creature with
Diarrhea fails a Strength or Constitution based check (ie Athletics checks), their bowels fail and they poop on
themselves.

Fever: Effects as Dehydration, Character gains a level of exhaustion. They will gain an additional fatigue level
for each day they exert themselves while in a fever state.

Joint Pain: Character gains disadvantage on any physical activity (including combat actions).

Nausea: 50% chance character can only keep down half of their food and water intake for a day. This risks
inducing dehydration.

Seizures: these occur randomly and should be checked for anytime the character is making a physical based
skill check or action. During these times, there is a 10% chance a seizure will occur causing failure of the check.

Swelling of Extremities: the area affected swells as if inflated by liquid. This can affect either the: arms
(disadvantage on attacks) or legs (movement speed halved).

Death: This isn’t immediate death, the character loses 1d10 from their maximum hit points each 24 hours.
When maximum hitpoints are at or below zero, the character dies.
