[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 4500097, member: 21215"] 29) Time & Time Again While travelling between distant outposts of civilization, the group wakes up from their camp feeling haggard, but not truly fatigued. Sometime later, they see several small plumes of smoke rising from the road. Just around a hill they come across a sacked and burning trade caravan. The guards and merchants slaughtered, only one is found alive, limbs crushed under a topple wagon, and impaled by several javelins. Seeing the groups, he cries out weakly, "No, I can't lose her. Not again. Not again." The merchant then passes into death. Some few small valuable still remain, but for the most part the caravan has been completely looted, and what wasn't of interest to the brigands was torched. Should the group continue on without investigation, an hour or so later, they will see more plumes of smoke in the distance. When they arrive around another hill, they will find themselves looking upon the same scene of destruction. Once again, the merchant weakly makes his plea, and dies. Any objects the group took previously are back in the same positions they were originally found the first time. More thorough investigation of the caravan will reveal that the most badly burned and shattered wagon appears to have had a body crucified to it when it burned. At this point, while time seems to proceed, the group finds that no matter what direction they go, they either come across the caravan again after a couple hours, or if they go away from the road, they find themselves back on the road after a short time. When night falls, the caravan disappears, even if the group stands among it. If the group wakes before dawn, and rides hard, they will shortly come across a vicious battle around a caravan camp between the defenders and a band of brutal and savage brigands. While a tough fight, the group should turn the tables. When the last brigand is killed or driven away. The merchant the group has now seen dead multiple times, walks up to them with a broken arm and spattered in the blood of friend and enemies, "I prayed that help would arrive in time. And here you are. Thank you! What comforts my camp and caravan can offer are yours." With that, a lithe and beautiful young woman steps from the largest wagon, armed with a crossbow, "My father and I BOTH thank you travelers. Who knows what these blackhearts would have done had you not arrived in time." The group can travel with the caravan from then on until they reach a common destination, but none of the travelers show any magical or priestly powers to account for the group's experiences. When they reach an outpost of civilization, however, they will find that they seem to have lost a week of time due to their travails with the recurring caravan raid. [/QUOTE]
