Dusty Road

Greetings folks! Travelers beware. The steep cliff-like mountains are treacherous, and many have fallen to their death. The brutal sun is blinding, and unexpected sandstorms make navigation quite tricky. Vultures circle overhead waiting for travelers who have come to meet their end. Although the dusty road seems abandoned at first, many travelers have been ambushed by both wild animals and bandits. 

This week's map is "Dusty Road". This map isn't meant for pleasant encounters. Your party will have to face the unwelcoming environment, as well as potential ambushes. Rocky terrain can provide some tactical advantage, but it also makes it difficult to move around, and unstable ground of the hills cannot be trusted. 

Fill up your waterskins, hide from the harsh sunlight, and travel along the Dusty Road!

Adventure hooks:

• The journey to the oasis seems straightforward, but there are many dangers along the way. The road is rough and full of sand and rocks. All of the surroundings look the same, so you must be careful not to get lost in this seemingly barren wasteland. The longer you travel, the more your mind seems to get lost in this drying madness. Everything begins to look ominous, even your companions. You feel as if someone is following you. Or maybe your comrades are the traitors? Will you be able to distinguish friends from enemies?
• You are part of an adventuring group that travels the world working as caravan guards. Your latest contract is to escort a large caravan of merchants and their goods through these godforsaken lands. The job pays well, but there are rumors that the place you are traveling through is haunted by strange monsters.
• In the middle of the night, you were attacked. In the chaos of the fight, one of your party members was dragged away by the bandits. The sandstorm obliterated all traces that could have helped in the search. After wandering for hours looking for them, you spot a bloody piece of clothing caught on a bush branch. You recognize it. You need to find your companion before all hope is lost.
