Open the Gate Before the Crowd Breaks
Open the Gate Before the Crowd Breaks
Read Aloud
Rain lashes the market road as a screaming crowd surges toward the gate, trapping you within twenty feet of the hulking figure wading through them. The Rainsoaked Flesh Golem swings without aim, crushing carts, horses, and people alike. Its next sweep brings one massive arm straight toward you.

Battlefield Zones
Packed market road, slick with rain and blocked by fleeing townsfolk; movement away from the golem is limited to 20 feet.
A narrow strip beside the gatehouse, crowded with animals, carts, and people trying to force their way through.
A flooded drainage ditch beneath the wall; creatures entering it fall prone unless they succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw.
Terrain Levers
- A toppled market cart can be shoved into the golem's legs with an action, slowing it until the end of its next turn.
- A rain-swollen trough can be overturned, creating difficult terrain in a 10-foot line.
- A bell rope hangs beside the gate; pulling it opens the inner gate and draws guards toward the crowd.
