Kobold Trail

Reach the Kobold Trail area, also known as the Whitish Hills, by following the directions from your current location (e.g., capital or Ancient Watchtower).

Enter the Whitish Hills area to trigger an Illustrated Book Episode.

Choose the option: “Defying all danger, we followed the path.”

Pass a [Lore (Nature) 15] check. If you have Rope, select: “Precautions were definitely in order. We readied a rope to ensure the daredevil’s safety.” This does not consume the rope.

Select a character to cross the river. The primary check is Mobility.

Choose the option: “[Choose a character] We talked it over and chose a volunteer to try crossing the river.”

Pass a [Mobility 15] check to jump to the other side.

If you fail the Mobility check, you will face further checks: [Athletics 15] or [Strength 15] (if rope was used). Failing these leads to a [Fortitude 20] check to mitigate damage.

If you fall into the water, choose: “Refusing to give up, we went in search of another way to cross the river.” followed by “It wasn’t long before we found where the mysterious kobold path led.”

Once across the river, you will find a kobold shrine. You have three options:

Venerate and repair the shrine ([Neutral Good]): Receive an Emerald.

Leave it alone ([Neutral]): Find boars, yielding Camping Supplies x6.

Desecrate the shrine ([Chaotic Evil]): Receive a Ruby.
