While creating random-encounter tables for the Moonshae
Isles (where the HPs popped into Toril...they were in Albion in
AErth, so this fostered the most confusion), I created some
Mythus-stats for a couple of encounters. They left the 'Shaes
before I had a chance to create any more. I know the latter will
probably be useless to most, but I figured that I might as well post
them (and hope _someone_ gets to use the stuff!). Enjoy!

Commentary & Description:
Bandits are an unfortunate presence in the remote roadways
and caravan routes throughout the Realms. They will always attack
by surprise, often with some clever trap they've devised. Most
bandits are actually nothing more than local peasants who've decided
to earn a little more cash on the side. Some are actually
oppressed, and need to resort to banditry to survive, but these
bands are few and very far between. When bandits do actually
congregate into clans or dens, they can number in the hundreds.

Commentary & Description:
These giant variety of the common wild goat exist only in
remote moutainous regions. They have simliar social struct
ures as their smaller cousins, flocking during the winter and
spring, and remaining solitary during summer and autumn. The male
of the species rarely attack (unless they are establishing territory
or leadership), but, when they do, they do so by butting their large
horns into their enemy. If the attack is made on another ram, and
the other ram meets the attack with his horns, there is little
damage traded (the horns confer a 40-point defense against such
attacks). There is usually only one ram per flock, though another
may be present to contest the authority of the other. The rest of
the flock will be composed of about four ewes and the rest lambs.
