These winds move outward from the jabberwock, and they persist until the start of the jabberwock's next turn. During this time, flight of any kind in the emanation requires a successful DC 43 [[compendium/skills.md#Acrobatics|Acrobatics]] check to [[Maneuver in Flight]], and creatures flying toward the jabberwock are moving through greater difficult terrain. Creatures on the ground in the emanation must succeed at a DC 43 [[compendium/skills.md#Athletics|Athletics]] check to approach the jabberwock."
