Alchemist's Table Part 1

The very first module I ever got to DM was Mike Carr's "In Search of the Unknown", first in the "B" series. The adventure had a definite exploration angle to it and it also allowed the DM to populate with a list of monsters as he saw fit. I loved that module, and read it to death.

I got the idea of an alchemist's lab as an encounter area, so I adapted a table from old B1 for it, using my "d12 table" format, which I will explain in some later post. Enjoy!
