Each creature on the ground in that area when the mud appears must succeed on a {@dc 15} Dexterity saving throw or sink into the mud and become {@condition restrained}. A creature can take an action to attempt a {@dc 15} Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach and ending the {@condition restrained} condition on a success. Moving 1 foot in the mud costs 2 feet of movement. On initiative count 20 on the next round, the mud hardens, and the Strength DC to work free increases to 20."
