Hold the Lantern Before the Marsh Wakes
Read Aloud
Cold water slaps your boots as you step into the chapel. The central dais is marked with salt and ash, and a lantern burns in a cracked cradle above the flood. Pale lights move in the dark, and the dead on the dais turn toward you.

1
Central Dais
Broken chapel floor around the central dais, slick with salt, ash, and seep water. The ritual circle sits here, half-lit and half-broken.
2
Flooded Crypt Chambers
Collapsed crypt chambers off the dais, low stone shelves, coffin lids, and ankle-deep black water. Good cover, bad footing.
3
Sunken Stairwell
A ruined stair dropping into the marsh, with hanging roots and cold water pushing up from below. Movement here is cramped and noisy.
Terrain Levers
- Kick over the salt line to break the circle's edge
- Drag a hanging root into a flooded stair to slow pursuit
- Smash the exposed lantern cradle to douse the marsh light
