Wildfire

In a dry spell an ember spark catches the leaf litter and a fire front runs through it at walking pace, burning the trees to stumps and the ground to char; beasts flee ahead of it, a body caught in its flames burns, and water, rock, roads, rivers and rain stop it.

You will notice: Smoke on the wind, beasts running one way, the crackle of the front, and an orange glow at night.

Spore nights

On a calm night after a day of rain glowing spores drift down through the woods, the mushroom rings wake and glow, the bats come to hunt the spores, and glowcaps rise round the rings for the night; a hero who stands in a ring breathes its spores and sickens a little.

You will notice: A glow drifting down between the trees, rings of light on the forest floor, bats flitting low over them.

What helps: Antidote, Spore-Cap Hat
