Everything

The Gold Path is named for the nuggets of pure gold found along it. These require only a small amount of ef­ fort to remove should characters succumb to temptation. Removing this gold invokes a curse making all rolls within the Abyss +1 difficulty for each piece collected (maximum difficulty 9). The path has riches scattered heedlessly upon it, as lost items of material value tend to find their way to the Gold Path. Taking these does not invoke the curse but the riches often cover the path’s gold — it is dangerously

easy to accidentally collect nuggets this way. The Gold Path is the most physically precarious of the paths, and the deadliest. Travelers frequently encounter fissures, sheer drops, crumbling stone, and other obstacles. The darkness and winds confound judging the scale of these obstacles. Increase the difficulty of rolls to overcome these obstacles by 2, notwithstanding any additional difficulty from the curse.
