Defend the Lich's Ruin

Read Aloud

The main door splinters inward as thirty bandits surge through the gap, firing into the ruined hall before their boots hit the floor. The lich rises from the black stone throne and raises one withered hand. “You came for my ruin. Now defend it.” Steel floods the doorway.

Battlefield Zones

1
The Main Door

The broken main door, scattered with splinters and shields. Bandits force their way through here.

2
The Ruined Hall

A cracked stone hall with overturned tables, fallen masonry, and clear lines toward the entrance.

3
The Lich's Study

The lich's study, dominated by a black stone throne and a faintly glowing warding circle.

Terrain Levers

  • A toppled statue blocks half the entryway; shove it down to create cover or crush creatures beneath it.
  • Three rotten support beams hold the ceiling; fire or heavy impact can drop rubble in the marked zone.
  • The lich's old warding circle still glows on the floor; a creature can use an action to activate it and seal one door until the next round.
