Editing X4-5-10: Desert Nomads series (section)

==X4: Master of the Desert Nomads==
Darokin and the Nomads are at war, and the party is in the reserves at Pramayama between them at the edge of the Desert of Sind. The setting hadn't made anything of this region yet. Zeb (the lazy) had the opportunity to sketch out a measly paragraph on fantasy Punjab, but didn't. Later Mystara supplements will do this, like the ''[[Voyage of the Princess Ark]]''. But anyway.

Here the party wanders through the desert, following the spoor of the army. [[X6: Quagmire!]] has additional detail on the desert, if you like. It's a harsh one.

Darokin's army - get this - has been TPKed. Turns out the nomads have a Master now, presumably not the same Master as ''Blizzard Pass'' (ohhh, Zeb). Now the party has to switch gears from "warriors" to "assassins". They're already deep in the desert, so there's no point in turning back; they gotta cross the Great Pass to knock out the Master where he lives. They get to the foothills, controlled by an abbey whose masters are some strange lycanthropic/undead humanoids called ... sigh... "[[Bhut|Bhuts]]".

It's got new monsters, like those bhuts. Also the [[Tabi]], an Islamic name like Qasit; and the [[nagpa]] treated like a badly energy-drained vrock. And the juggernaut (wooden steampunk killdozer), and the [[Soul Eater]].
