Bandit's Cove

[1]

You enter Bandit's Cove and feel respite from the heat. There are tattered remains of a flag blocking the path forwards. There are torches on the wall. There is a distinct smell of body odor, lizard dung and shattered dreams.

[2]

The path forward looks clear, but there is a humanoid skull with an arrow sticking out of it on the ground. It gets a bit darker.

Arrow traps! Setting them off seals the entranceway off with rocks. Arrows do d4 piercing damage each.

[3]

You make it through the arrow traps and see some boomerang rats sniffing and scratching at the walls. The razor sharp boomerangs they carry look like they could be sold for a fortune.

[4]

A few sand lizards have managed to get trapped in this back path, they are confused and are blocking the way forward. They look like they are in pain and could use some help.

There is a pit trap around the corner that does d4 piercing damage.

[6]

A bandit scout and a sand lizard are fighting over a chunk of meat. The bandit is distracted, an arrow to the head could probably defeat them in one hit.

[7]

A sand lizard and a boomerang rat seem to be trying to scratch open the western walls. They are completely distracted.

[5]

You manage to break through the wall and find a hidden chest. There are many intricate geometric carvings on the wall.

There looks like there is a false door to the east. Draperies separate you from the room ahead. You can hear the sound of someone writing in a book.
