DnD Desert Raiders Campaign

Sessions Log

10/06/09 - Session I - Caravan Caper

Notes

• Characters wake up in back of moving caravan cart.
• Last memory was being left for dead by raiders/bandits.
• Any prior acquaintances among party unknown at this point in time (no backstories yet)
• Couple of kids are also riding in the cart and before long a scuffle breaks out between a few members of both groups.
• Goblins involved actually manage to hold their own.
• One kid, bruised and screaming, stumbles out of the cart and goes down in an ungainly heap.
• This sufficiently alerts the remainder of the caravan, which pulls to a halt.
• Goblins flee like rats from cart, dodging and climbing to stay hidden.
• Some hide, some flee.
• scattered melee ensues.

Desert Goblins

Desert races receive racial feat Heat Endurance, see Sandstorm book for updated version of this feat. Admmittedly, this is at the cost of darkvision to low-light vision. http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/unearthedEnvironmentalVariants.html#desert-races
