Mist-Shrouded Mountain

This solitary mountain is shrouded in fog. The pathways and handholds are slimy with moss and fungi, making travel dangerous, and worse yet, the thick fog makes it all but impossible to see more than a few feet ahead and dampens sound as well. A few settlements and outposts cling to the mountainside, all in states of severe disrepair. Those who did not succumb to monster attacks or clannish battles survive alone or in tiny groups, wary of any they meet.

Mist-Shrouded Mountains usually start as Lofty Mountains.

Muted and Fogged. Some portions of the mountain are affected by the Hazy environment and most of the rest are lightly obscured . In this case, creatures also suffer disadvantage on Perception checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Secrets and Lies. The mountain protects its mysteries. Insight checks made to determine motivations or see through illusions are made at disadvantage.

Unclimbable. The mountain is difficult to climb. Attempts to do so without proper equipment can’t benefit from expertise dice .

Journey Activities. Rolls made to Scout or Track are made at disadvantage (this does not stack with the effects of Muted and Fogged). Additionally, should a Success or Critical Success on an exploration challenge indicate the discovery of a Boon or Discovery , only one such reward can be gained per day.
