Mount Baratok

lightning ridge

Built for a party of about level 9: random treasure here is rolled for that level.

Places

  • A Frozen Tarn: The track rounds a tarn frozen white in a bowl of the mountain: thin ice in the middle, drifts at its rim, a shepherd's fallen shelter and a crag over the north shore. A random fight on the mountain roads may play out here.
  • Mount Baratok: A steep, pine-dark mountain above Van Richten's lake, with frost where frost shouldn't be, a ring of glass where lightning lands every evening, and a stone hut whose owner has forgotten who he is.
  • The Mad Mage's Hut: A stone hut colder inside than out: a dragonchess board with frost on the pieces, a mirror turned to the wall, shelves of blank books, and an old man in a magnificent ruin of a robe.
  • A Mountain Ledge: A ledge road under pines and scree on the mountain roads north of Vallaki, with a drop on one side and a wall of rock on the other.
  • A Narrow Pass: The track squeezes between frost-cracked crags to a saddle in the snow: a ledge above it on the north side, a shelf of boulders on the south, and old cairns for the ones who didn't get over. A random fight on the mountain roads may play out here.
