Fire in the Courtyard
Read Aloud
Fire races through the grain stores as mercenaries shove burning carts into the courtyard. Ralar Dorn raises his sword and points toward the keep, while bandits loose arrows from behind the broken statues. Smoke thickens, and the only safe paths lead past the flames.

Battlefield Zones
1
Cart Yard
Broken carts, fallen banners, and scattered militia shields; half cover, difficult movement around wreckage.
2
Burning Stores
A grain store burns along the west wall; each round, one new 10-foot square here becomes heavily obscured and hazardous.
3
Keep Routes
Shattered statues flank two routes into the keep; the north gate is broad, while the east stair is narrow.
Terrain Levers
- Spend an action directing militia: prevent the next fire spread and clear one route.
- Spend an action smothering flames: remove one hazardous fire square.
- Broken carts provide half cover; burning grain stores ignite adjacent wooden debris.
- Two keep routes: the north gate is open but exposed; the east stair is narrow and partly blocked.
