[Python] Checking if dice roll is between a range of numbers

I'm new to coding and am working on a text RPG. It will tell me whether or not I have a random encounter, but not what I come across. I am trying to add an encounter table with 2d6 and am having trouble understanding if statements and how to check between a range of numbers.

import random

Encounter = 5

d20 = random.randint(1,20)
print("your d20 rolled a" , d20)

d6 = random.randint(1,6)
#print("your d6 rolled a" , d6)

d6x2 = d6 + random.randint(1,6)
print("you rolled a", d6x2, "on two d6")

if Encounter >= 5:
if d20 >= 10:
print("You have an encounter!")
if d6x2 == (2,5):
print("A guard catches you trying to escape!")
elif d6x2 == (6,8):
print("Thank goodness, it's just a rat.")
elif d6x2 == (9,12):
print("Oh great, another prisoner. I wonder if he wants to join you...")
elif d20 < 10:
print("You got lucky and don't have an encounter")
else:
print("You don't have an encounter")


Even though d6x2 is returning values in the ranges stated the encounter text isn't printing. Why won't the if and elif text print?

I have tried changing if d6x2 == (2,5): to if d6x2 == range(2,5).
