Obstacle

An Obstacle is an obstruction that can spawn in a hallway of a dungeon. It will prevent the party from moving through the corridor and can be removed either by using a shovel or by hand. If no shovel is used, the party will suffer high health and stress damage as well as reduction of the light meter.

They appear in every dungeon, especially in the Weald, so it is recommended to take at least 2 shovels on any expedition, as the penalties for removing an obstacle by hand are quite severe.
