Lairs, Caves and Dungeons
Lairs have a very limited scope - one or two “rooms”. They house a single monster or monster (basically one specific encounter). Dwellings are very similar to lairs, but in contrast they tend to house humanoids (or generally people). Lairs can be handled with one to two scenes.
Caves are a bit bigger in scope than lairs. There may be more than one occupant, but at maximum two. Occupants are of a specific type (like Orcs or Goblins), but can vary within that type. So you might encounter Goblin Shamans, Goblin Warriors etc. Caves are generally found underground and its environment doesn’t change much. You can run this as small or medium dungeons.
Lastly we have the dungeons itself. These are complex structures, spanning many rooms, changing environments and a wide variety of factions that live therein. Dungeons are built for specific purposes (whereas caves for example are mostly changed to fit a purpose).
