Tablelands Encounters

Here's a list of random encounters I came up with for my future Dark Sun ACKS game. Further details on the monsters with ACKS stats forthcoming. Some will be the usual Dark Sun 2e monsters scaled appropriately, maybe with some new ways of having their powers work (like the Braxat or Belgoi), while others are new monsters like the baboon men.
