The Rite of Returning Green
Read Aloud
The shard bucks beneath the moonwell, throwing red-green light through every root in the stone ring. Silver pollen whips across the water as root masses tear free and pale spirits claw their way from the ground. Hold the circle, complete the rite, and wrench the shard loose before the grove turns against you.
Forces
Battlefield Zones
1
The Moonwell
A shallow moonwell fills the center; the embedded shard glows beneath the water.
2
The Stone Ring
Six standing stones form a broken ring around the well, with narrow gaps between them.
3
The Root Channels
Raised roots cross the ground and carry red-green light toward the shard.
Terrain Levers
- A character can redirect one root channel with a DC 13 Strength (Athletics) or Wisdom (Nature) check, dimming the shard's next pulse.
- A standing stone can be toppled with a DC 15 Strength check, creating half cover and crushing creatures beneath it.
- Silver pollen clouds a 10-foot space when disturbed; creatures inside must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution save or be blinded until the start of their next turn.
