Scalding Tar Lake

Stealth DC +0 (the tar lake is blatantly obvious, and its effects occur near the end of each round)

Disable DC 30 Survival check to throw rocks or other bits of debris into areas within the tar lake that are about to burst, allowing the lake to vent harmlessly for that round (on a critical success, this prevents the lake from venting for 3 rounds); permanently disabling the tar pit would require powerful magic or long-term engineering projects (subject to the GM's discretion).
