So i have been wracking my brain at using the 5rd format as a non-dungeon, like travelling.
I have an upcomming session that will begin with the heroes starting a journey from point A to point B and i have been thinking about how to structure the session around this travel with 5rd.
The current "setting" is red hand of doom mixed with other stuff, they will be travelling from the evacuated town that has been hit as the very first, towards a town that is not on the hordes marching route. After that town they plan to travel to the secret hatchery (rhest for those who know RHOD). I have the following encounters basically read: death squad (ambush), looting bandits, attacked wagon of gold, roaming enemy soldiers.
now i suppose i can use these as my rooms, roaming soldiers as the guardian, wagon of gold as puzzle (moral dilemma) should we take the gold for ourselves or make sure it got where it was going, ambush as trick in room 3 and the town is maybe under assault of two or three manticores as room4. Information about the "rhest" site as room5
but it feels lacking to me, how would you design one or more 5rd as travels ?
