I have a halfling that fails sneaking far too often for it being innate. The example given is about average for how long it takes for me to succeed at sneaking.

West Main Street
A thick fog looms heavily in the air in this town. It seem unnatural,
cold, void of scent and impossibly thick. As you move about the streets,
the mist does not break way or seem to stir in anyway due to your presence.
It is as if someone laid a thick, bleak, gray blanket around you, making any
noise you may make seem muffled and suppressed while foreign sounds seem
likewise. The ground beneath your feet was once lined with black
cobblestones, but frozen tree roots have protruded from the ground and
uprooted them in an uneven mess. A lone building rises to the south and is
completely covered in vines and twisted trees making it impossible to
determine if anything mortal-made originally created this structure. A sign
depicting a scroll hangs off the giant doorway. A rusted iron ladder
covered in vines has been attached to the structure and seems to provide a
way upward to the city defenses.
It's cloudy, mild, and very windy.

while a suit of armor is painted on a sign to the north.

Galron Avenue
The black paved surface of Galron Avenue stretches north. Rickety wooden
and stone buildings line the street, clustered close against each other as
if they were huddling for warmth. Scorched timber and ragged holes mar some
of the construction while frozen vines, brambles and thorns have sprung up
from the ground and crept their way across the surface of the buildings. A
thick fog looms heavily in the air in this town. It seem unnatural, cold,
void of scent and impossibly thick. As you move about the streets, the
mist does not break way or seem to stir in anyway due to your presence. It
