On all tables, roll a single red die to determine the result. Most of the tables are geared towards more difficult traps, monsters, etc. on the numerically high end of the scale. You may also choose to use a modifier to the die roll (+2 for a really tough Quest, -1 for a fairly easy one, etc.). Some monsters and spells were taken from the Quets Pack for the Elf.
These tables could also be used to perhaps generate a Quest framework, if you will. I've tried to organize things fairly logically, so you don't get highly irrational combinations of monsters in adjacent rooms.
Enjoy!
