Pillars in the Sand

“You wearily take another step across the soft sand. The beating sun and dry hot heat of the desert has been sapping your parties strength for days now. Between that and the sandstorm a few nights back what should have been a 5 day trek has turned in to 8 and with it the rations you have are starting to run out. The carrion birds wheeling above you squark gleefully to your hopeful end.  

But there, in the distant haze, you make out a ruined structure of stone reaching up out of the desert. An abandoned arena now half buried, long ago left to be reclaimed by the desert. Stories tell that at night those that lost their lives for entertainment rise again to battle, forever seeking to be laid to rest in a more permanent death that will not come. But more importantly for you the stories tell of weapons of power lost to time and sand, forever buried with the restless dead here. 

A smile cracks your dry lips as you take another step forwards...” 

Hey all, 

This desert buried arena is perfect as a random encounter, a destination map or for a battle royal. :)
