Across the Ashen Chute

Read Aloud

The stairway drops away beneath your feet as lava pushes through the cracks below. Chains swing over the shaft, basalt ledges narrow to a single step, and something bright moves inside the nearest vent. Cross now, before the chute fills.

Forces

Battlefield Zones

1
Broken Stairways

Broken Stairways: 25-foot run of tilted basalt steps above a lava channel; sections collapse when heavily struck.

2
Chain Ledge

Chain Ledge: 25-foot-wide ledge with two hanging chains and no guardrail; a fall can end on a lower shelf 15 feet down.

3
Vent Crossing

Vent Crossing: 25-foot stretch of narrow basalt shelves beside cracked vents; the fire elemental can emerge from any vent.

Terrain Levers

  • Cut a hanging chain to swing across the shaft or pin a stairway in place.
  • Break a cracked vent cover to blast steam and ash across a ledge.
  • Kick loose basalt into a lava channel to delay the rising flow.
  • Use a nearby ledge, chain, or magical resource to catch anyone who falls.
