The Briarhook Perimeter

Read Aloud

The slope breaks beneath your boots as bells twitch between the trees. Above, a ruined watchtower leans over a low stone wall while two mastiffs snarl beside a bound prisoner. A bowstring snaps from the platform, and the Red Knives shout for the prisoner to be killed if anyone reaches him.

Battlefield Zones

1
Bell Line

A steep slope of loose stones and roots; tripwires run between the trees.

2
Broken Wall

A waist-high stone wall gives half cover; sharpened stakes block the easiest approach.

3
Watch Platform

A rough wooden platform beneath the ruined tower gives three-quarter cover and a clear view downhill.

Terrain Levers

  • Cut a tripwire to drop a bell line and alert every bandit.
  • Kick loose stones downhill to force a DC 12 Dexterity save or fall prone.
  • Shove a thorn screen aside to open a short route, exposing the mover.
  • Climb a low wall or platform for high ground, but crossing the broken stones costs extra movement.
