Beginning Travel in the Death Sands: Battle with the Purple Worm

75: See a camp with smoke from a campfire in the distance. Tents look like hobgoblin tents we have seen. Some scouts around then as they see us they come out into a semicircle formation. Contact is made, they seem on board if we give him food. Two soldiers to come with us. Ritsu and Hideo go and get the caravan to the village. Basir and Khoda stay behind and get close with some of the hobgoblins. Mani and Kazo join the group! High rise of purple worms (big ol mouths and stinger booties, animal smell attracts them) must travel quietly. Suggest that we travel at night. Short rest for the rest of the afternoon so we can begin travel at night time. Boosting morale with food with our group and the new hobgoblins!
 
82 (with good karma): Rocky terrain at night. Rocks coming up out of the ground. A few pockets of smelly gaps in the ground. Gas turning to crystals. My horse gets hurt ): by the rocks when I turn (3 damage to my horsey, poor pony). It takes an hour to turn the cart around. 2 hours of fucking up.
 
32: Half buried bodies in the shifting sands. Clear signs of battle of nomadic tribes everywhere. The stench of death a mile long. Vultures feed on the flesh and evil spirits feed on the souls. Whispers are on the wind, filled with negativity. Cross the whole battlefield with no issues.
 
19: Neverending sands. Smog covers everything. Short rest to heal horses and to get the vibes back up. Herbal tea heals us all emotionally.
 
89: Travel continues. Earth rumbles. Mountain of sand comes towards us. And initiative is rolled. Knocks over the carriage with Ham and Ling inside! Ritsu almost gets eaten but jumps out and attacks. Khoda attempts to get swallowed for a from the inside attack. One dragon guard gets swallowed by the purple worm. Khoda gets swallowed and finds the disintegrated dragon guard and many others bones. Khoda and Ritsu both are temporarily killed and revived. As Hideo and Basir killed the purple worm. The purple worm is looted earning 900 total gold for the whole group split into 225 per person. Bury the dead and make camp a bit from the battle.
