Jan/Feb '23 Lite Challenge: Mistruun's Gondola > (Non- Entry)

Based on the set-up, I would think that the characters do t really have a chance to act until the gondola has fallen into the forest, so maybe a map of the "crash" site would be best. There is a lot you could do with that. Is the forest so dense that little clearings are far and few between? How badly is the gondola damaged? Does it provide any protection from aggressive/hostile beasties? What kind of equipment might be available or made from the wreckage of the gondola?

Just some food for thought and, perhaps, a bit of inspiration. And dig that set-up.

Thanx! I wanted to make a start that was different and rich in possibility.

I appreciate the food for thought, it definitely gave me some ideas to how I can go about this.

A few things I'm thinking about:
Does the Gondola get split in two over a rock falling down leaving player characters in one clearing having to scrounge up defenses for the coming night.
Or it can that the whole cart end up in one place and the players need to talk with the veteran NPCs in what need to survive, giving immediate tasks.

I was intrigued by your statement "Is the forest so dense that little clearings are far and few between?"
What were you pondering with that one?
