Feverish Conditions
Feverish conditions describes a temperature range between 110-119°F. The air feels dangerously hot, presenting life-threatening conditions for characters. They must don minimal clothing or seek shelter to survive the scorching heat. The terrain becomes virtually impassable, hindering any significant movement due to the perilous temperatures. Outdoor activities cease entirely as the risk of immediate heat-related illnesses becomes imminent.
Settlement life is in dire straits under the relentless and life-threatening heat. Indoor spaces offer minimal respite, with temperatures soaring to unbearable levels. Clothing becomes practically nonexistent, with characters seeking refuge in any shaded or cooler areas available. Homes struggle to provide any semblance of relief, leading to communal shelters or underground refuges. Resource management collapses, with food preservation proving impossible, and fresh produce wilting or spoiling within minutes due to the extreme heat.
Community gatherings cease entirely in this lethal heat, with any outdoor activity posing an immediate danger to life. Trade and commerce collapse, markets deserted due to the unendurable conditions. Character interactions become focused on survival, seeking any possible relief from the overwhelming heat.
Exploration becomes inconceivable in this lethal climate, with quests abandoned entirely due to the high risk of immediate heatstroke and dehydration. Predictable wildlife behavior reaches extreme levels, with creatures seeking the deepest shelters or becoming excessively aggressive due to the lethal temperatures. Encounters with creatures adapted to extreme heat become prevalent.
Dungeon exploration becomes a harrowing ordeal as the heat infiltrates even the deepest dungeons, posing imminent danger to adventurers. The dungeons become unbearable infernos, rendering navigation almost impossible and directly threatening the lives of those within. Challenges within dungeons offer no respite as adventurers grapple with the overwhelming and lethal heat.
