The E(ncounter)20, a sidegrade to the E(xplosive)20

Currently we have one librarian specific traitor items, the E(xplosive)20. This item is an RNG explosive that can either do almost nothing or blow up a hole in the station larger than a maxcap, try your luck and see if it works out for only 3TC! 

This item isn't necessary bad, but it's impractical and deadly. Traitors with steal objectives with get very minimal use out of this item, and traitors will kill objectives will struggle to kill their target with this and likely take themselves out with their target if they do manage it. For a hijack objective a 3TC explosive is very powerful and justifies its existence to some extent. 

The E(ncounter)20 is an item designed to be more useful for general antagging without overshadowing the E(xplosive)20 in raw damage situations.

The E(ncounter)20 is very simple in its use, throw the dice and depending on number rolled, summon a few enemies to aid you in your endless and evil journey in destruction! Or at least until you managed to piss them off with a stray bullet. Throwing the E(ncounter)20 at someone will "target" them, making the summoned mobs prioritize them over anyone else. All encounters are simple mobs.

Honestly this sounds like a fantastic idea.

I'm worried that the Swarmer Beacon might have the potential to get out of hand, but I could just be overestimating them. Minor concern.

I was going to say a single Goliath seems kinda weak, until I remembered that unless you're carrying lasers, you're going to have to try to MELEE the thing.

Interesting idea, although I don't really want to have a traitor item available that has a 15% chance to spawn midround level mobs.
