Danger Dice — a Pressure Mechanism

Each ten minutes in the dungeon, or every two hours traveling overland, if the conditions warrant it add one Danger Die to the Danger Dice pool. The Danger Dice pool starts at zero dice. When four Danger Dice are in the pool, roll the dice. Set Danger Counter to zero. For every die result in the Dice Pool roll that is 5-6, add one to the Danger Counter. Compare the Danger Counter to the table below, and drive the story forward accordingly. Reset Danger Dice pool and Danger Counter to zero.
