Siltsand (5e Hazard)
Siltsand[edit]
Siltsand looks like a grey coloured sand and generally appears in large craters. people who have escaped siltsand have said that it coted their clothes and bodies with a grey layer that is hard to remove. They also say that is has a soft but strong grip.
When a creature walks onto siltsand it sinks down one stage. A creature which is in siltsand can struggle to try and escape (DC 14 +1 for every stage they have sank) but if they fail, they sink another stage down. A creature that can still use their arms can try to free a creature by making a strength check (DC 12 +1 for every stage the creature has sank) but if they fail then they get trapped in the siltsand. A creature must make a Dexterity check (DC 16) at the start of their turn. If they fail then they sink down another stage.
