Get the Caravan Off the Broken Bridge
Read Aloud
The bridge jolts under your feet as arrows crack into the stone around you. A thug in patched mail steps out from the west ruin and shouts for the wagon to stop. Two more bandits rise from the riverbank brush with crossbows leveled and nowhere easy to run.

Bridge Deck
The broken bridge deck. A narrow lane of cracked stone with a six-foot gap in the middle and ankle-high rubble at both ends.
2
East Bank
The riverbank below. Slick mud, driftwood, and a steep climb back to the road.
3
West Ruin
The western ruin. Half a fallen arch, two ruined pillars, and a pile of old masonry that gives hard cover.
Terrain Levers
- Snap the rotten span and cut off pursuit.
- Kick loose the stacked stones under the near arch.
- Use the broken arch as cover for a shot across the gap.
