Stony Stair (Adventurer) (Patreon)

Weatherbeaten steps rise in a winding, bending path up the steep cliffside, hewn into the rock in ancient times. Simply looking at the scores of stairs is exhausting, and any travelling packrats are sure to groan at the prospect of making the climb, but for those that wish to reach the frosty summit, there is no better way.

I was inspired a little bit by the seven thousand steps of Hrothgar from Skyrim when drafting this one up, and felt like a map with some harsh verticality was in order. An excellent ambush spot for a nest of local harpies, or just a place to hit your party with some fatigue checks, you decide.
