As The Red Gates shut and lock behind you, you find yourself on a path that winds out into a bleak and whithered Grass Wilderland. On this side of the citadel, the region is strikingly different than the Grass Wilderland on the south side of the citadel. Request admittance back into Dragonspine Citadel.
It will be three days travel on foot (as a normal sized human walks) to reach the cemetary. Each day there will be one encounter check. If a travelor leaves the road and cuts across the Grass Wilderland, it will take 2 days to reach the Cemetary (there will be 1-D4 encounter checks per day when leaving the road and cutting across the Grass Wilderland toward the Cemetary).
If one travels east or west, 4 days travel will bring him or her out of the Bleak Grass Wilderland area and back into the normal Grass Wilderland.
When one approaches the Cemetary, he or she will see an impassable wall of iron thorns extending up over the Cemetary in a massive dome-like structure. It was build this way to keep avian scavengers out, and was so well built, not even the hotest dragonfire has ever penetrated its protective defenses. The Gate is the only way in.
Approaching the gate, a travelor must get past two Animated Tree Sentinels.
If they can be defeated, one will drop the key that fits the lock on the Cemetary Gates.
Once the Cemetary Gates are unlocked, the key will vanish, and the two great gates will swing open for two turns (after which time, they will close, and the Animated Tree Sentinels will quickly sprout to, once again, guard the way to the only entrance to the Cemetary.
Once the gate closes, those inside must find another, similar, key to open the gates.
1 check per day each day you travel on Cemetary Road (or travel within 4 days march of the Cemetary Road). Roll 1-D20 -- Roll needed for encounter: 15+ If there is an encounter, roll on the following Encounters Chart: |
