Witchwood Wandering Encounters

A 1d6 encounter table for the dark hours along the Witchwood border. The table lives once, in this page's foundry: block: Foundry gets a rollable RollTable, and the rows below read the same data through the fm: handler at foundry.patch.results.N.description.

Roll . What you meet at the Witchwood's edge after dark.

How this page works

foundry.source: RollTable builds a blank RollTable for this page, and foundry.patch is deep-merged onto it. Each row of the body table is an fm: lookup into foundry.patch.results.N.description; numeric path segments index into arrays. Editing the frontmatter updates the Foundry table on the next build and the page on the next push.

To author tables in the body and render them with a small custom handler, see Features/Handlers.
