Chaos Mechanic

gotta say love this mechanic
this is where you roll a d20 and add the chaos factor to see if anything happens in the background (good or bad)
triggered twice during last session
one result was something they will end up being beneficial to the PCs (let ya know when you encounter it)
the other result was something from the burrows decided to find out what was taking the Drakke so long
