While exploring the ice caverns in the Frozen Expanse, you find the smoldering remains of a campfire. Someone has clearly been here recently.

Approaching the fire, you inadvertently step on a well-hidden trap. Your cries of pain echo through the caverns as the steel teeth embed themselves into your leg.

Carefully removing yourself from the iron jaws, you quickly bandage the wound as best you can. This injury will severely hamper you and your party moving forward. As time allows, applying fresh bandages will aid in your recovery.
