Potion of Unhindered Stride

by Frazer 👁 248 views

A slender glass vial filled with pale blue liquid that shimmers softly when held to the light. The liquid swirls in the bottle like a miniature cloud, and the cork is wrapped in twisted silver wire etched with runes that hum faintly when touched. The scent is cool and mineral, like rain on stone.

Unhindered Stride For 1 hour after you drink this draught, you ignore the effects of difficult terrain. You move through difficult terrain as if it were normal terrain, and your speed is not reduced by it.

Lore

In the long-forgotten trade routes carved through frost and rock, alchemists experimented with draughts that could bend a traveler’s path. The Potion of Unhindered Stride was said to have been brewed by a mapmaker who trusted terrain to tell its own story, capturing the scent of distant rivers and the memory of well-trodden paths.

History

Legends tell of a caravan master who traded this potion for safe passage through a storm-choked valley, and of a guild of rangers who passed it to their scouts to chart a route through mist and brambles. Some copies were counterfeit, but the true draughts always carried a faint, mineral-sweet aroma and a promise of smoother steps.
