EVENT CHART

Storm: The storm event is listed to build and break on the fifth day if the PCs aren’t making progress.
But, it is intended that you bring the storm up as the PCs approach Gryphon Hill. Let it die if overcast or fog when they leave and build it back up

to full fury as they reach the Mausoleum.
In such cases override what it says on the Event Chart.
