The Opening

“The Warden is paying a king's ransom to ensure this cargo reaches New Oakhaven by dawn. Every raider and beast in the Frontier knows the schedule, and they are hungry. Step aboard if you want gold, or stay here if you want to keep your skin.”

— Hook · Escort and Sabotage Prevention

Set the Scene

The sun hangs heavy over the Dustrail, its heat shimmering off the iron tracks that stretch into the horizon. You stand on the platform of Rail-Town Station as a massive, steam-belching locomotive pulls in, its iron plating scarred by recent claw marks. Warden Elias Thorne waits by the boarding ramp, his hand resting nervously on his sidearm.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The Silver Sledge train is carrying enough gold to buy a whole county.
  2. 02
    The Warden has been looking for mercenaries who do not ask too many questions about cargo.
  3. 03
    The local Sand-Walker tribes have been seen massing near the Iron Gorge lately.
Stakes

If the train is destroyed, the artifact will detonate, creating a permanent wasteland across the trade route. If the tribes reclaim it, the railroad's expansion into the frontier will end permanently.

Ticking Clock·The train must maintain a speed of sixty miles per hour to avoid being swallowed by a massive sandstorm pursuing it from the west.

Background Lore

The Dustrail Frontier was conquered via the iron rail, but the land is fighting back. The Silver Sledge is the only engine fast enough to cross the Great Sand-Flats in a single night.

What the World Knows

The party is hired to protect a shipment of emergency medical supplies destined for a plague-stricken settlement across the desert.
