Hi all

I have a question about those occasions when a pc is stuck in a cloud or pitch darkness or sleetstorm effect.

How do you resolve them getting out of it when they dont know which way to go? For example, in a large area effect like sleetstorm that completely obscures vision, I think its perfectly possible for a character to walk in a circle for the duration of the spell, especially if they fall prone and have to struggle to get up. Do you allow your pcs to simply walk in one direction until they are out of the effect? Or a wisdoms or survival check to determine direction and avoid getting lost? A perception check to pinpoint the sound of battle and head that way?

Interested in your thoughts

Anyone?
