Your group winds its way around a bend in the trail and comes to a small canyon. Over the rocks at the far end of the canyon you can see what looks like a ruined parapet. Rivenroar must be close. The map indicates that this should be the last canyon to pass through and Rivenroar should be at hand. You descend.
Kruthik AmbushAs you walk along the canyon floor Rah yelps out that there are a few areas where the ground looks quite unstable. A faint clicking sound answers his yelp, and suddenly four scaled bodies climb up from under a rock in the middle of the canyon ahead of you. Two of them are larger than the others, and they issue a series of clicks back and forth. Kruthiks! The creatures are covered with spikes and gnashing pinchers and from the looks of things standing next to them isn't the smartest option available. They glare over at you malevolently, and you can tell that safe passage isn't an option.
You complete this skill challenge successfully.
300xp in total, or 60 exp each.
A net loss of 1 healing surge per player until your next extended rest.
The walls of this canyon can be climbed, but they are difficult terrain.
Weak ground that you've passively perceived is marked. Be aware that there may be more.
I've started with the map quite large, but will most likely condense it as the players move closer to each other.
