The slope is steep and icy.  It is difficult terrain and you grant CA while standing on it.  The stairs are gently sloped, and are normal terrain.  The green bushes around the edges are Shadowthorn Shrubs, they are difficult terrain, andAnyone starting their turn in the thorns takes 10 necrotic damage.[/sblock]</blockquote>
