Spiral Peak

Spiral Peak is a dormant volcano, which stands solitary, apart form a medium size hill named Polson Hill, on the Northern Isle. It has been inactive for over 1,000 years.

It gained it's name from the spiral (screw-like) layers of the outer mountain.
Most climbers complete the hike up to the top in twelve and a half to fourteen hours. While climbing to the crater rim is permitted with a guide of a local (like those from the town of Castow) - entry into the crater is considered very foolhardy.

The view as people head to the top is stunning. Able to see for miles on miles - to both coasts. Looking down on Polson Hill to Scuttle Bay, and Europia River. Also seeing as far as Castow to the north, and to the south across Echo Woods and Dusk Quagmire. Even can occasionally see across the Bold Strait to Fogi Island.
At base of the mountain, on the south-west side is the Floral Fields - colourful rows of flowers.

SHRINE

A white stone Shrine to Chauntea - If the party makes an offering, the rest of the day has no violent encounters

COW HERD

2d12 Cows lined up on a ridge watching as the players silently as they pass.

WOODS

The dense woods halfway up the mountain is home to Jackalope - can mimic any sounds it hears, even voices. While sitting around the campfire So'roi starts to sing a tune - there is a chorus of jackalopes, singing from the edge of the firelight. They have beautiful singing voices, akin to a Human male tenor regardless (of the jackalopes' genders), and will sing along with any songs they hears.
When chased, the jackalope will use its vocal abilities to elude capture, throwing its voice to trick its pursuers into running a different direction.

Animated Bush

The party notices that they are being followed by a bush, which runs into the forest when they attempt to investigate. If they pursue, they find a goblin and the bush. The goblin throws a pouch of coin at them to make them go away - 1d6 gp 1d10 sp 1d100 cp.

Harpies

Further up, the woods are less dense and have some rocky outcrops surrounded by trees, where Harpies nest
Rube Harpy:
A face of a woman; brown skin; crooked pointy ears; song of beauty;
Claws = sharp talons of feet/hands;
Wings = brown long feathers (red and white tips
* messy creatures that leave trash and debris around

ABOVE TREE LINE

Peryton

THE MIST

The Peryton shy away from the mist line. Entering the low dense thick fog, you see sparkling colours glowing in the distance in two directions - SE and SW. There are massive rock shapes in the fog - that are bulky and seem to be pale coloured stone.
You move further on, you hear heavy footsteps within the fog - although you cannot tell which direction they are coming from - left, right, forward or behind.
Mist Giants
Mist Giants are among the largest of giant breeds - standing around 24 feet (7.3 meters) tall - Humans only reach up to knee height. They have heavily muscled frames, with milk-white skin and flowing silver-white hair. While they were incapable of growing facial hair, they were otherwise very hairy. They generally wear no armour, but will do so if deemed necessary.
* use minor Illusion to split up Party
* Very good a stealth.
* cast spell - Forced Flatulence
PET = Blood Hawk named "Gore" in Giant
+ In mist try not to aim at another Party member - very hard to see.

WHITE MIST FUNGUS

* cousin of the Violet Fungus - see Fungus
* these Mist Giants eat the fungi twice a day (3am and 3pm) when at there fullest - the rest of the fungi plants defence is to close up and 'duck down' - which clears the air - they remain closed for an hour.
* the fungi has a symbiotic relationship with the Mist Giants - as they grow need plants off the corpses of anything left by the Giants, which the Giants are not inclined to eat flesh.
* White Mist Fungi - cousin to the Violet Fungus - This pale white mushroom uses root-like feelers growing from its base to creep across high mountain peaks floors. It 'breathes' out a steady mist (when in gropus becomes a thick fog) which keeps the area shadowed to their liking. The four stalks protruding from a pure white fungi's central mass are used to lash out at prey, rotting flesh with the slightest touch - the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or its skin suffers from cracking, oozing, and gray pallor. While the affliction is purely cosmetic and it does impede creatures abilities - also it does give the area lashes the appearance of one of the Dead. While affected by this curse, the subject suffers disadvantage on all Charisma-based checks and saving throws.

Any creature touched by the stalks are affected - taking a level of Exhaustion for each rotting area.
Any creature killed by a white mist fungus decomposes rapidly. A new white mist fungus sprouts from the corpse, growing to full size in 2d6 days.

THE HUT

100 miles before the hut at the top - 4 totems are found, made from 1 of wood, 1 of leather and 2 of animal bones
The hut (see secrets) sits just as the peak becomes steeper and more jaggered.

GRATER

The view at the top is only of the grater of igneous rock and magma, as a heavy cloud cover lingers around the very peak, most of the night and day. A few Air Elementals gather within the clouds.
Including a Mist Hulk

When magma is ejected by a volcano or other vent, the material is called lava. Magma that has cooled into a solid is called igneous rock.

* A pair of enormous gold Dragons flies over head

Far underneath the mountain runs hot trails of lava, which helps heat the water of the underground Kynym River.
