Sand Mimics (Patreon)

The artifact, despite your many attempts to throw it away, keeps returning to your palm. Thankfully you can put it into your pack allowing you to use your gear effectively... you have a feeling you'll need it. 

You walk out slowly. From your view point all you see is endless deserts. A few scattered remains here and there. You feel thankful as a paladin, food and water won't be an issue for you. In the distance you do see a subtle haze that might be something of note so you begin to head out. 

Until something grabs your leg, pulling you off balance. From the sands, a tentacled mouth emerges. Eyes swim around in the sand too, a wild swing and the creature disappears back into the desert. 

SAND MIMICS??? What godless land have I arrived in?

*I imagine this will be the quote many players will say if you're a DM sadistic enough to use these...*
