In the Stinkweed is a compact wetland encounter where thick vegetation, muddy ground and water turn a small area into awkward terrain. Dense plant growth breaks visibility and creates pockets where creatures can remain hidden only a short distance from the party.

The map is particularly useful for an ambush or search in which movement through the environment matters. Characters can push through the vegetation, skirt wetter ground or become separated by the irregular patches of cover. In Troubles in Otari, it gives the wilderness around town a distinct texture without requiring a large dungeon. Outside the adventure, it works for swamp predators, lost travelers, herbal gathering or any encounter where the terrain should feel inconvenient before initiative is even rolled.
