Stop Hadrik Before He Escapes With the Records
Stop Hadrik Before He Escapes With the Records
Read Aloud
The sealed command chamber shakes as Hadrik tears records from iron drawers and throws them into a chest. Four dwarves lock shields at the doorway while a priest raises a marked war-hammer. Behind the map table, gears grind and stone begins to move, revealing that someone planned an escape before you arrived.

Battlefield Zones
The stone map table fills the center; creatures can circle it, but crossing over it costs 10 extra feet of movement.
The only normal exit is sealed by a dropped barrier. Four guards can brace here and make the approach costly.
A narrow balcony overlooks a deep ventilation shaft. The iron rail is waist-high and can be climbed or broken.
Terrain Levers
- Hadrik can pull the red iron handle to drop a stone barrier across the main doorway.
- A guard can crank the vent wheel to blast hot air across the balcony; creatures in the gust must steady themselves or fall prone.
- A weapon rack can be shoved into a 5-foot doorway, creating difficult terrain until cleared.
- The hanging banners conceal narrow murder-slits; a creature behind one has half cover until the banner is cut down.
