Keep the Explosive Secret
Read Aloud
Smoke snaps across the stone yard as the carriage rocks on its springs. Vora Night-Scale ducks behind the crates while pirates fan out toward the towers, blades out and crossbows ready. Something hot is burning under the broken stone, and the whole courtyard already reeks of pitch and ash.

Battlefield Zones
Broken stone yard with stacked crates and loose barrels. Half cover everywhere, but sightlines keep changing.
A heavy carriage sits broadside to the fight. Its wheels, harness, and undercarriage make good cover and a hard choke point.
Two narrow wooden towers overlook the courtyard. A ladder on each side gives quick access, and the railings are easy to duck behind.
Terrain Levers
- Kick over crates to make cover or block a lane.
- Cut the carriage traces to stop it rolling out.
- Climb the archer towers for height and cover.
- Set off the powder kegs in the ruined corner to make a burst of fire and smoke.
