(Underdark/Torog) The King's Highway

[the Jester]

Hey guys! I'm doing some prep for my couple of sessions, and unfortunately I left my copy of Underdark at my girlfriend's house.

Would someone mind posting the details of the King's Highway for me? The pcs are trying to reach it.

Thanks in advance!

True- but it doesn't talk about the characteristics of the Highway, which is what I'm after. I seem to recall that Underdark mentions some terrain effects or hazards or... or something like that, I dunno... I can't recall!

I've got the book here.

There are different terrain features depending on whether you're in the Shallows, the Deeps, or the Feydark/Shadowdark. All are patches of weirdness 5-10 squares contiguous that can be identified with Dungeoneering/Religion checks. All but Godsrock trigger effects when you spend a surge in the area.

In the Shallows you get Godsdream - take -2 attack, crit on a 17-20, lasts until you rest or crit.
In the Deeps you get Godsrage - deal +2 damage/tier, and deal 2 damage/tier to all allies within 3 at the end of your turn. Lasts until dazed, stunned or unconscious, or you take a short rest without spending a surge.
Feydark is Godsblood - gain 2 regen/tier and -4 Fortitude and Will. Lasts until you're at full hp.

Godsrock is cover/blocking terrain. Gain +2 Fortitude and Will when adjacent. Fail a save next to it and you take 5 necrotic/tier.
