🎲 Random Map: The Skybridge Pass
Behind the Die by Charlie Stayton
“One wrong step, and you’ll fall into the clouds themselves.”
This week’s map is the Skybridge Pass, a treacherous stone span connecting two mountain ridges. Winds howl across its surface, and the ancient carvings along its edge hint at lost civilizations.
Map Features
-
The Bridge: 15 feet wide, 200 feet long, spanning a deep gorge. Some stones are cracked or missing.
-
Carvings: Reliefs of winged figures etched along the guardstones. Successful History check reveals this was once a pilgrimage route.
-
Shrine Midway: A small alcove with a broken statue, possibly dedicated to a forgotten wind-god.
Hooks
-
The PCs must escort a caravan across the pass during a storm.
-
Raiders have taken the shrine as a toll-collecting stronghold.
-
The bridge is home to a creature of the winds (roc, air elemental, or harpy coven).
How to Use It
Perfect as a set-piece encounter during travel arcs — equal parts combat hazard and atmospheric storytelling.
