What do you mean by 'at sea'?
For the encounter you could use a switch case, like this:
int nD6 = d6(1);
switch (nD6)
{
case 1: (create monster command(s) here); break;
case 2: ,, ,,
case 3: ,, ,,
case 4: ,, ,,
case 5: ,, ,,
case 6: ,, ,,
}
This makes you able to create 6 different encounters, you can have more than one monster per case.
It might be easier to have random encounter triggers instead of doin it by scripting but it depends on the situation. If the encounter has to be at the same place everytime it's better to use the trigger, if you want to check with e.g. variables the scripting is easier.
