Advance Through the First Heat
Read Aloud
The bell rings and the deck bucks under your boots. Sahuagin haul themselves up through the flooded lane while the captain shouts for you to be knocked into the deep water. Ropes snap overhead, the planks shine with spray, and the judges watch from the rail. This first heat is not about killing them. It is about not getting washed out of the Rumble in the Deep.

Start Deck
Crowded starting deck with railings, judge’s bell, and slick planks.

Breakwater Lane
Rocking center stage with floating buoys, hanging ropes, and waist-high wave breaks.
3
Winch Pit
Low end platform with a winch, net crate, and a deep water drop on one side.
Terrain Levers
- Drop the buoy line to turn a lane into rough water and force checks to stay upright.
- Cut the hanging net to make a 15 ft curtain of cover or a tangled barrier.
- Kick the slippery shark-oil crate to slick a 10 ft patch of deck or start a fire if a lamp hits it.
