The Painted Desert Caravan

A caravan emerges from heat mirages, selling pigments that make murals real—painted doors open, painted bridges hold weight, painted monsters hunt. The artists demand canvas measured in years of life. Escort the caravan out, steal the palette, or paint a trap that can hold a god's attention for one hour.
