D&D One Shot: Red Sands Reckoning

📜 Campaign Overview: The Oathbreaker's Dust

The Setup

The vast, unforgiving expanse of the Red Sands has become a graveyard. For months, a figure once revered as a paragon of virtue—a mighty Paladin of the Holy Order—has waged a campaign of ruthless destruction against isolated desert villages and nomadic caravans. Seemingly driven by a terrible, unknown purpose, the Oathbreaker leaves nothing but scorched earth and silence in his wake.

The Mission

Disgraced and desperate to stop the carnage and protect their own reputation, the Paladin's former comrades have secretly hired a capable, discreet group of adventurers: you.

Your mission is simple, but deadly: track the fallen warrior across the treacherous desert, uncover the motive behind his sudden, catastrophic madness, and put an end to his destruction. The Order's mandate is clear: bring him to justice, for good, if necessary.

The Stakes

The desert is your enemy, filled with more than just heat and hunger; forgotten ruins hold cursed secrets, and desperate survivors may prove more dangerous than the Paladin himself. Will you manage to save the Oathbreaker's soul, or will you be forced to deliver the final, lethal penance upon the Red Sands?
