Elemental Supplemental Read the following when the PCs are traveling along
the main trade road.
For Characters of Level 1-4
The Long Road is the main inland road heading north
out of Waterdeep. Spring has finally come and the roads
are now open to travel. Over the last several days you
each managed to gather together and find work
escorting a pair of wagons out of the Town of Amphail
heading north. 5gp for a few days escort will help keep
you fed until you find better.
Up ahead you notice a body lying next to the road,

appearing to be dead. As you begin to move forward,
the horses panic and begin to pull. You notice a 6ft long
snake made of bright bands of orange and yellow mixed
with dark spots coiled near the body. You do not think
snakes like this are local to these parts.
A pair of fire snakes have moved this way from parts

more south over the last few weeks. They are drawn to
the elemental forces pulling from the region. PCs do not
know that this may be an omen of things to come.
The snakes are territorial and will spit at the PCs if they
approach. You can have the PCs roll a Wisdom check
(Perception DC11) to notice burn marks on the body and
gear before they get close. They can be forces to retreat
using ranger skills or such. They will flee if wounded
below half their HP.
Treasure: The dead traveler carries 1d10cp, and 1d6sp.
He also has partial adventuring gear. The snake skins are
unusual and may be of interest in town.
