[Big Bazar] Correct probabilities of placing Smuggler and Governor #65
Comment from Discord:
As I think more on this (and I never thought much about it before actually), you can see the importance of the dice mechanic in the probabilities of the encounter placements. For instance, the most likely target for the encounters is the Fountain (6 chances out of 36 on the die roll). And that's important, since the Fountain is a miserable action, but the heightened presence of an encounter helps smooth that out quite a bit.

When moving the smuggler or the governor after using it, the logic must be to throw 2 dice and sum the dice to determine the new place.
Current: random(1,16) New: random(1,6) + random(1,6)
