Rickety Bridge
The Rickety Bridge is a precarious wooden structure spanning the Sellen River in the Stolen Lands. Its weathered planks and creaking supports attest to years of neglect, creating an unsettling experience for those who attempt to cross. Despite its dilapidated state, the bridge serves as a critical crossing point in a region with few alternatives. The surrounding area is characterized by dense wilderness, with the river winding through rocky terrain and overgrown vegetation.
- 22 Pharast 4710 The party arrived at the Rickety Bridge after a day of travel through the Greenbelt.md. The bridge’s fragile appearance inspired caution as they crossed, its aged timbers groaning under their weight. Despite its ominous creaks, the bridge held, allowing the group to reach the far side safely.
That evening, the group set up camp near the bridge, hoping for a quiet night. However, Djames.md was awoken during his watch by the distinct sound of the bridge rattling. Investigating the source, he discovered Nak-Pick.md, a kobold laden with Moon Radishes, crossing the bridge with four companions: Kosk.md, Brex.md, Ulsi.md, and Ruznegok.md.
Later that night, the bridge would collapse under a loud, splintering crash. The old wooden structure had finally succumbed to years of wear and tear. Its supports, worn thin by weather and time, gave way without warning, sending the planks and beams crashing into the river below. By the light of Kairos.md’ lantern, they could see the broken remnants of the bridge scattered across the rushing waters, the pieces floating away or lodged against rocks.
Fortunately, no one had been on the bridge at the time, and there were no casualties. The cause of the collapse remained unclear, but the bridge’s dilapidated state suggested a simple structural failure.
