Sand Witch
The Sand Witch is a loud desert vehicle rented by the party for their journey from Nanaze toward Drar.
Overview
A fast, noisy machine built for crossing dunes, the Sand Witch requires a full crew to operate properly. Jacko rented the party a pink one and warned them to stop only near rocky formations to avoid attracting desert threats.
Crew Roles
Events
- Rented from Jacko for 20 gold
- Carried the party out of Nanaze and into the desert
- Clipped a rock during the journey
- Nearly threw multiple riders during a sudden hard brake near a river
- Delivered the party to Drar in Session 61 — though the parking nearly destroyed it. Kailas jumped clear at 20 kph leaving the vehicle pointed at a wall, and Korin and Jaruul together physically halted it using strength and Thunder Wave
- Nyxara cast restoration on the Sand Witch for the benefit of Star, the parking-yard worker, even though it was undamaged
- Parked at the Sand Witch yard just outside the Drar checkpoint after arrival
- In Session 67, the party rented another Sand Witch from the dealer Sulk at Drar’s Eastern gate (haggled to 20 gold plus a fish-jerky trade arrangement) to cross the desert east toward Dravenmere
