Here's one I used early on.

The players come across a village where there is no movement, even most of the animals appear dead. The houses have families of bloated bodies in them, etc. On further investigation they discover that the village well had been poisoned. They also discover tracks leading off in to the nearby wilderness/forest/whatever. Following they come to a ruined hut where the bodies of a small group of Aiel have been tortured and killed, (these are the ones that poisoned the well, being DFs). The group discover the tracks of a Fade and Trollocs. Depending on how tough your group is you could have them face however many Trollocs + Fade you want. I had the Shadowspawn band split up and the group took on a small group of Trollocs, which beat them up pretty badly.

When they returned to the village they were fortunate enough to be met by a group of soldiers arriving, who were more than a little curious as to why these strangers were the only living souls in a settlement of the dead. The questioning began in earnest! *grin* Would be even more tricky if the group has an Aes Sedai and the soldiers were Children of the Light.

Not that there's any hurry with this, but the sooner I get "enough" encoutners, I'll create this Handbook. I'd like to have a lot more monster-like encounters, along with everything else going into the book (templates, non-combat encounters, prestige classes, etc.). So, what with so many projects going on, if anyone even has so much as notes on unique monsters they've used, it'd be great to get them.
If this project gets done quickly enough, I could head up the One Power book (though I get to pick the name of it).

Question for you TRW, my new character (YEAH!) wanted a pet, so I found stats for a ferret for him. I'm assuming that might not be something that you want for the encounters handbook, but maybe? I mean, they're not that well..encountery. But what about a list of the normal pets/companions that a character might have in the WoT and their appropriate base stats? Is that something that would fit into this netbook, or should it be found elsewhere?

OK, I'm getting kinda close. So far I have 24 monster-like encounters, 3 templates, and a few extra things. I was hoping for a lot more monsters, so if any of you have some, please post them. If you have a really awesome monster idea, but don't have the time or know-how to write it up, please email me at brundawger@yahoo.com and I can write it up or something.

Cool. You still got time. No hurry quite yet. Like I said, I still want more creature encounters.
