Description
Caravans is an Al-Qadim adventure in which the eponymous caravan serves to move the characters (levels 5–9) across the High Desert in western Zakhara. If the player characters feed ancient poetry to Ala'i the Hungry during the adventure, Ala'i gives them clues by blacking in parts of its weave. Other encounters include a talking tent, weird lightning on a high rock spire, broom-wielding copper automatons, giant roc skeletons, bug-eating centaurs, and an efreeti palace beneath the Pit of Ghuls.
