Creatures within the aura are [[Conditions/Concealed|Concealed]] to those outside it, and creatures outside the aura are concealed to creatures within it. Nightmares and their riders can see through this smoke.\n\nA creature that begins its turn in the area must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude check save or be [[Conditions/Sickened|Sickened 2]]. It's then temporarily immune to being sickened by the smoke for 1 minute. This is an inhaled poison, and the nightmare and its rider are immune to it."
