Keep the Chest from the Mine
Keep the Chest from the Mine
Read Aloud
Boots scrape on stone ahead, and a bull-headed pirate hauls a lantern through the dust. More shapes emerge from the rails and broken timbers, cutlasses out, crossbows up, with sea rope and salt on their coats in a place that has never seen the sea. A mine cart sits half loaded with stolen ore and a bolted chest marked with a red chalk X. One of the pirates bellows for the others to keep the chest moving while the minotaurs fan out to crush anyone in the way.

Battlefield Zones
Collapsed tunnel mouth with broken timbers and old pick marks, half open to the mine shaft.
A narrow loading chamber with rusted rails, stacked ore crates, and a winch that still groans when touched.
Deep cut where the floor drops into a dark shaft, with rope bridges, bat droppings, and slick stone ledges.
Terrain Levers
- Tip the ore cart to block the main tunnel.
- Cut the hanging lantern line to drop the passage into darkness.
- Kick loose gravel down the shaft lip to create a sliding, noisy choke point.
