Keep the Wagon Out of the Ditch
Read Aloud
Bandits burst from the sedge and the low rise, blades out, while the wagon groans against its broken wheel. One rushes for the horse's harness as another takes aim from the hill. The road drops toward the ditch, and the whole wagon is ready to slide.

Battlefield Zones
1
Kestrel Track
The stranded wagon sits crosswise over the road; its rear axle is cracked and one wheel is missing.
2
Sedge Ditch
A shallow ditch choked with waist-high sedge; creatures inside have half cover from the road.
3
Gull Rise
A low rise overlooking the wagon; attackers here have a clear line for thrown weapons and bows.
Terrain Levers
- Tip the wagon with a DC 12 Strength check, creating half cover behind its bed and blocking the road.
- Cut the taut trace rope: the wagon rolls 15 feet downhill at the end of each round unless stopped.
- Kick loose stones from the ditch: one 10-foot square becomes difficult terrain until cleared.
