Clear the Ox Road

Read Aloud

The oxen stop hard as dead trees fill the road, and the cart lurches behind them. Arrows snap from the roadside branches while four goblins shout for you to leave the cart and run. The trees are thick enough to hide them, but the road is too narrow to pass until the blockage moves.

Battlefield Zones

1
Ox Road

The blocked road: a 25-foot-wide stretch choked by two dead trees and the cart.

2
The North Trees

Dense trees, low branches, and leaf litter; creatures here have half cover from the road.

3
The South Ditch

A shallow ditch beside the road; moving through it costs extra movement and breaks line of sight.

Terrain Levers

  • Cut the oxen loose to move the cart faster, but risk losing the load.
  • A goblin can topple a dead tree into the road with an action and a hard shove.
  • A character can climb 15 feet into the roadside trees for cover and a better view.
