261 views • 9 years ago • 3:54:16 Black Tears (Based on the Conan story of the same name) I'm using a modified version of the adventure put together by Wesley Connally) Lost in the desert. When you blink awake, you find the sun already high and another hot day before you. But still you hold three thoughts before you: to follow the trail of hoof prints, to save water stringently, and to stay on your feet. Finally, as you lurch to the crest of yet another row of dunes, you look down and see a lush green valley, dotted with clumps of emerald-green ate palms. Amid this fertile vale lays a small, walled city of stone. Bulging domes and squat guard towers rise above a stuccoed wall, wherein is set a great gate whose polished bronzen hinges redly reflect the sun. A city in this scorching waste? A lush valley of cool, green trees and soft lawns and limped lotus pools, in the heart of this bleak wilderness? Impossible! As your mind tries to comprehend that you may have found salvation in the desert hell, your body releases its struggle to fight on, and you and your comrades collapse to the ground, as your blurred vision makes out a cluster of figures running out from the city walls presumably to greet you.
