[QUOTE="Nail, post: 3776193, member: 224"] Simple! As has already been suggested, the central idea is creating check-points. [B]Spot #1)[/B] On top of one of several similar-looking mesas, in an abandoned [URL=http://www.britannica.com/eb/art-17374/The-sun-temple-in-the-ruined-city-of-Hatra-Iraq]Sun Temple[/URL]. The temple's mesa is currently the home to many [URL=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG20a.jpg]Elder Arrowhawks[/URL], who could easily see flying PCs approach. Better use teleport! [B]Spot #2)[/B] Using clue from Sun Temple, must travel to nearby [URL=http://www.exploitz.com/images/np/lg/crmo/craters_of_the_moon_national_monument_and_preserve-picture-02.jpg]lava field[/URL], and travel the length of a lava tube (4 miles, say, of twisting turning passages with occasional "[URL=http://www.horizoncon.com/More_Maui99/Lori_and_Sandy_below_skylight_in_lava_tube.jpg]windows[/URL]" into the desert above). They'll need to travel in the lava tube to know where it goes....ain't no way to teleport around that! Insert monsters as desired. [B]Spot #3)[/B] Emerge from lava tube into [URL=http://www-scf.usc.edu/~zechar/images/china/dunes.jpg]sand dune field[/URL]. Nearby is buried ([URL=http://www.chrispanos.com/index37.html]in the sand![/URL]) the map to the final destination. The only catch: the map could be anywhere within a quarter mile. Better figure out how to find it! (DM: you could add clues or monsters to be bargained with, etc. if the PCs don't have the right spells.) You may want to add monsters here that use moisture-draining attacks. [B]Spot #4)[/B] At the final spot, must find the [URL=http://www.digitalspace.com/avatars/book/authorp/dm1d.jpg]Teleportation Circle [/URL] which will bring you to the finish. Can't use your own teleportation magic 'cause you don't know where the finish line is! Surprise! :) Of course, it's guarded...... Etc. Now, the big piece is this: make sure the other groups racing for the prize have similar abilities and magic to your group. [/QUOTE]
