Session Seventy-Four: Lost

Note: For those unfamiliar with Dark Sun, psionics are called the Will for wild talents and the Way for trained psionicists.

The group wandered through the canyon maze, with Shade confidently leading the way. Julius was the only one who doubted Shade's ability to successfully guide them through the rocky badlands. They saw many small lizards and birds, but nothing dangerous.
Night fell and the group set up watch.

Day 15, Week 1, Macro, Friend's Vengeance, 190th King's Age, Sun Descending

While Alaxadner was keeping watch, he suddenly found himself on the mindscape. In front of him was a huge tan lizard. It stomped and attempted to crush him, but he hid himself in a bank of fog. He called out, in the real world, and woke everyone up.
The lizard kept attacking Alaxander on the mindscape, but Alaxander kept defending against its mental attacks. The group awoke and Alaxander explained what was going on. They searched the area for the lizard and eventually found it.

D100 Non-Combat Roadside Encounters for the Tablelands

I've seen many non-combat roadside encounter tables, but few of them work well for Dark Sun's unique setting. So, I've decided to make one myself.
In lieu of a combat encounter, DMs may use these instead. If an encounter does not make sense, roll again. A lot of these are just ideas, that should be fleshed out by the DM. Enjoy.

Roll 1 D100:

001: Dark clouds are overhead. It looks like it might actually rain. There is a 50/50 chance of it raining. If it does rain, however, it's torrential and easily causes flash flooding.

002: A small group of bandits are hiding near the road and waiting to spring out and attack. There are two bandits per PC, but they are one to two levels lower. Most of them are not very good at hiding and should be spotted by alert PCs.

003: The PCs find a flat stone near the road, with a crude skull painted on it. If the PCs look around, or travel further up the road, they find two more. These could be a warning, painted by an illiterate traveler, of danger up ahead.

004: A large armored wagon is slowly moving past the PCs, pulled by two mekillots. It will not stop for the PCs, without a very good incentive. There are 2d4 crodlu outriders. The crodlu outriders will yell at the PCs to clear the road.

005: A small group, 1d6, of recently escaped slaves come upon the PCs. They threaten the group with harm, if they outnumber the PCs, despite having no weapons or armor. Or they beg for food, water, and any other survival tools.

Happy Easter to Everyone, Everywhere.

 

I truly believe that the most important message you will hear this Easter, is that He lives and He loves you!
