Special Encounters in Map 01

Refer to this map. I've tried to follow the advice ChicagoWiz kindly left to me in the comments of this other post:

For instance, the wandering monster tables you mention. In opening up new areas, I don't do that so much. I just have a list of monsters that I'll use and I roll against generic tables like from the ref sheets or in OSRIC/DMG. Depending on that result, I'll check against the monsters I've specified. So if the result is dragon, I'll see what is dragon-like in my own list, or what is as strong as a dragon, and go from there.

As you will note, I went even a bit further. The following encounters share the same structure of the ones found in Carcosa or Planet Algol. Only, they aren't hex-fixed. Once I give this a try, I will let you know if/how it works.
