To start, first map out the layout of the Quest, which rooms are accessible
and where doors (both normal and secret) and furniture are placed. Then
roll on Tables A and B to determine the Setting and Plot.

For most of the rooms (your choice) roll on Table D to determine the monster type found, rolling on the list that matches the Setting. Then roll on Table E to determine the occupants of the room, again rolling on the list matching the Settings. If the result of Table E gives a spellcaster, roll on Table F to determine the choice of spells it has.
