What the....?!?!

"Ho-hum... Another mission... sneaking through the abandoned mines... beating up Circle of Thorn thugs. I wonder what..... . . . . Holy crap! What's that?? A monster?? ...down here???"

Suddenly sounds more interesting, doesn't it? I'd really like to see a few random surprises during missions. Even roaming Madness Mages don't quite fit the bill. Sure, they're annoying, but they're really not a surprise... not during a CoT mission. I'm talking about giant insects! Huge moles!! Mind flayers!!! Even an unexpected cave-in on top of a character would be interesting. (It would do AoE damage, push everyone away from the space it lands in, and block the passage until enough damage was done to clear it.) Seriously.... Surprises = excitement. Give it some thought.
