There are three cases for encounters: reality, Temporal Prime in a timestream, and Temporal Prime in a void. Reaiity is simple, since the
chance of encountering a temporai creature is so close to nii it does not matter. An exception to this ruie is when a speii effect lures a Guardian or time dimensional into reality, hut this effect is handled per the spell description.
On Temporal Prime within a timestream, roll 1d6 for every two hours of generai traveling (no vortices or maelstroms) and every four hours of resfing. On a 1, use Table 14 to determine whether the encounter is turbulence- or creature-based. If turbulence-based, pick from the appropriate choices or refer back to Table 11 (page 28) and proceed from there. If creature-based, pick from the appropriate choices or proceed to the table corresponding with the creature's frequency.

Traveling within a void on Temporal Prime is a different case, since several creatures and severai effects of turbulence do not exist
there. Roil 1d6 every four hours of travel or eight hours at rest. On a roli of a 1, roll 1D20 and consult Table 19. If the roll is a 20 and turbulence is discovered, it is automatically generated from a speli effect from a nearby source such as another chronomancer, a creature in temporal stasis. or one of the random effects of the void.
