The Opening

“The sea is my mistress but the plains are my blood. Help me reach my grandmother's caravan before the next moonrise and there is gold in it for you. I just need to give her this compass before I leave these lands forever.”

— Hook · escort

Set the Scene

You stand at the edge of the Skate Plains, where the ground is a mirror of salt and the wind never stops its mournful whistling.

Kaelen Salt-Lick Vance

Kaelen is frantic and smells of brine. He approaches the party in a dusty tavern, clutching a leather wrapped compass as if it were a holy relic.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The Wind Skimmers caravan is three days overdue at the Salt Port.
  2. 02
    Strange lights have been seen hovering over the Great Crystalline Flats at night.
  3. 03
    The Sand Drowners are no longer just raiding; they are taking captives alive.
Stakes

If the party fails, the nomads will be sacrificed in a ritual to open a gateway to the Plane of Earth, and Kaelen will lose the last of his kin.

Ticking Clock·A massive salt-storm is brewing; in 48 hours, all tracks will be erased and the caravan survivors will likely be dead.

Background Lore

The Skate Plains are a vast, flat expanse of crystalline salt. Nomadic tribes move across them using wind-sails and bone-skates. Kaelen is a sailor who left the nomadic life, but now seeks to return a family heirloom.

What the World Knows

Kaelen needs protection as he travels across the dangerous, monster-filled flats to find the Wind Skimmers, a peaceful nomadic caravan led by his grandmother, Nana Zala.
