Roll every 7 in-game days. Compare result to current Defense Rating to determine outcome.

Event Outcomes by Defense Rating

Defense Rating	Town can handle threats up to...
1	Minor nuisance (beggars, a stray beast)
2	Small threat (bandits, petty crime wave)
3	Moderate threat (organized raid, disease outbreak)
4	Serious threat (assault by a named faction, magical hazard)
5	Major threat (small army, powerful monster)

If an event exceeds the Defense Rating: town suffers damage, treasury loss, or population loss. Party must intervene or spend resources to prevent worsening.

Bastion Event Table (d20)

Roll	Event
1–6	Quiet Week — Nothing significant.
7–8	Petty Crime — A rash of thefts or minor disputes. DC 10 vs Defense or lose 1d10 gp from treasury.
9–10	Travelers — A group passes through. Interesting NPCs; chance of a recruitment prospect or rumor.
11–12	Supply Shortage — A merchant is low on key goods. One business generates no income this week.
13–14	Sickness — A mild illness spreads. DC 12 vs Defense or population morale drops; recovery costs 2d10 gp.
15–16	Bandit Scouts — Signs of organized scouts near town. If ignored, escalates to a raid next week.
17–18	Bandit Raid — Armed attackers hit the town. DC 14 vs Defense or lose 3d20 gp and 1 Defense Rating point.
19	Strange Occurrence — Something unusual tied to the campaign (DM's choice).
20	Good Fortune — Unexpected windfall or event. Roll 1d4: 1 = merchant arrives seeking a stall, 2 = a donation to the treasury (2d20 × 5 gp), 3 = a skilled NPC offers temporary services, 4 = a useful rumor about the wider world.
