 HJALMAREN
The roars of the Wyvern that has claimed the tallest peak
of Norland for its own can be heard for miles around. But
the climb to the mountaintop is challenging, and the
journey back down even more treacherous.
A single path winds its way back and forth to the peak
from Follebu, taking about half a day to traverse in each
direction. The path is just wide enough for a cart to pass
but presents a sheer drop to the western side. If a creature
falls from the path, it falls 40ft to the section of path that
snakes below. Additionally, two main dangers present
themselves on both the ascent and descent.
The rst is the risk of rockslides. A rockslide has a
12.5% (1d8) chance of occurring naturally on the journey
up, and the same on the journey down. A rockslide will
also occur if any loud noise is made on the path. After a
rockslide has happened, another will not occur until the
next dawn.
A rockslide takes approximately 10 seconds to reach the
adventurers. It covers an area 150ft wide. If a character is
unable to take cover or avoid the rocks, they take 3d8
bludgeoning damage and must succeed a DC 15 Strength
saving throw or be knocked o the sheer drop at the edge
of the path.
The second danger is a stretch of path 60 feet long -
about halfway up the that has been made slick and has
been partially eroded by a recent rainstorm. If they
receive no other assistance, each creature to cross must
succeed a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check else lose
balance and tumble from the path’s edge.
Upon arrival at the summit, the wyvern lies in wait.The
cap of the mountain is rocky; a 100ft diameter arena with
terrain suitable for half cover. If arriving whilst the sun is
in the sky, the wyvern is devouring its latest prey - a wild
mountain goat. It is alert but does not immediately notice
the characters’ presence. If arriving at night, the wyvern
is asleep and does not wake until provoked.
