Take the Pay Chest Before Both Captains Fall

Read Aloud

Draw steel as the Ropewalk Men and Three Cuts rush each other across the rope yard, shouting over a locked iron chest. Both captains spot you at once and call out the same offer: help kill the other side, and take the chest. Crossbows rise, blades flash, and nobody waits for your answer.

Battlefield Zones

1
Rope Yard

Packed dirt between stacked rope coils; clear lanes for shortbows.

2
Loading Platform

Raised wooden platform, 5 feet high, with stairs at the east end.

3
Cutting Shed

Narrow shed crowded with hooks, crates, and hanging rope; heavily obscured beyond 15 feet.

Terrain Levers

  • Cut the hanging rope bundles to create difficult terrain in a 10-foot square.
  • Kick loose planks from the loading platform to open a 10-foot drop.
  • Tip the tar barrel to create a 15-foot slick; a creature entering it must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
