Swatted Like Flies
Level 8Hazard (Complex)Attacks
Abilities
Trigger A creature lands near the base of the Granite Ox's tail --- Effect The Granite Ox makes a tail Strike against the triggering creature. The hazard then rolls initiative.
Description
Feeling the presence of creatures on its backside, the Granite Ox swishes its stone tail to swat them away.
Escaping The PCs overcome this hazard by moving out of the area that the Ox's tail can reach. A PC escapes (and is not subject to tail Strikes) by ascending the Ox's sloped back, traveling a distance based on the result of the PC's Reflex save from the Shaken Loose hazard. PCs can Climb up the Ox's back with a successful DC 24 athletics check or—by finding and scrambling up improvised paths—a DC 26 acrobatics, DC 26 perception, or DC 26 survival check. With a successful DC 20 acrobatics check, a flying PC can ascend half their fly Speed (or their full Speed on a critical success). PCs can attempt to Disable the hazard whether or not they're in range of the tail.
