Whenever a party with an accompanying pet moves to a new scene in the adventure, somebody has to ask “What is [pet] doing?” Failure to do this means that the pet wanders off and upon realising this, a d20 must be rolled to determine what random event has happened.

d20	Pet Action
1	The worst thing possible at that moment.
2	Eat something nearby (could be just found, stolen or even poisonous).
3	Run off ahead (if any traps are ahead then roll to avoid).
4	Looking for affection (PC or NPC).
5	Barks loudly (nearby creatures are alerted).
6	Finds somewhere to urinate.
7	Bites someone (roll random target who the pet doesn’t like).
8	Fetch an item with no value.
9	Perform a trick (works as a performance check and can distract).
10	Runs around the area knocking things over (has to be grabbed by someone).
11	Buries something (can be an unsecured inventory item or an item found/stolen nearby).
12	Fetch something of low value.
13	Run away from everyone (avoids creatures if it can).
14	Lick a stranger (works as a persuade check to win someone over).
15	Find the nearest source of a drink (does not need to be water).
16	Find some treasure (could lead to a guarded treasure).
17	Hasn’t gone anywhere, it is being well behaved.
18	Growls at somebody (works as an intimidate check).
19	Finds a plot hook (or successfully persuades/intimidates an NPC to get next hook).
20	Best possible event at that moment.
