Siege of Ember Pass
Read Aloud
The lead wagon lurches into the thirty-foot gorge as four green-skinned orcs charge between the wheels, greataxes raised. Arrows snap down from the cliffs, and the rear trail collapses behind you in a roar of stone. Silas shouts, “Hold the wagons! They only need one opening!”
Forces
Battlefield Zones
1
Lead Wagon
The lead wagon blocks half the gorge; four Goroth raiders rush between its wheels.
2
Oil Wagon
The caravan's oil cauldron hangs beside the middle wagon; pack beasts panic here when fire appears.
3
Hunter Ledges
Two hunters begin hidden on rocky shelves with three-quarters cover; each ledge overlooks the wagons.
Terrain Levers
- Silas can tip the burning oil cauldron as an action, creating a 10-ft line of flame.
- A creature can use an action to shove a wagon 10 ft, opening or blocking a route.
- A character who reaches a hunter's ledge can cut its rope ladder, forcing the hunter to climb or jump.
- Wagons and pack beasts are difficult terrain; heavy gear halves the carrier's speed.
