Description

Orange and silver ribbons are placed around the area to signify a river of molten rock crawling across the ground. Reeves may alter the boundaries as the game progresses. Beings without protection from or immunity to Flame are instantly killed and all their equipment destroyed if they move through it. Beings protected from Flame and all equipment they are carrying are immune to this effect. Invulnerabilities are worn through all locations at the rate of one point per second. Normal armor is automatically bypassed.
All creatures entering this area must drop to their knees while moving through it, unless they are Aquatic, Large, Very Large, or flying. In rare cases where items that can survive exposure to lava, the light currents of a Gentle Lava Flow is represented by having Reeves pick up and move items around the field as they find them. Nothing should actually be hidden from the players, but its okay to move things from one side of the field to the other. Certain areas could serve as “tidal pools,” places where items just seem to naturally collect. Players who are searching for relocated items should be told where their equipment may be found.
