This may have been discussed before, but if it was, I didn't find it. My question goes like this...you've picked up a treasure and rolled a d20, scoring 16 or more, meaning a random encounter will happen (I think that it should be a higher percentage, but that's another topic!). You roll on the table to find out what's appeared and then you roll for which non-player edge the random beastie comes in on. When the creature phase comes up, and it's the beastie's turn to move, it is determined that there are no warband members in its line of sight and within 10". By the rulebook, the beastie now moves in a random direction. As far as I can tell, that gives it about a 50% chance of moving right back off the table edge, doesn't it? I was using a scatter die from WHFB to determine its direction but maybe on the first move, you should use a sideline scatter template like from Blood Bowl. At least that would keep it in play for at least one turn.
Is there something that specifies that the creature has to move forward onto the board upon its arrival?
Thanks!!
