Freed Under Fire
Read Aloud
Stone cracks under your boots as four carved sentinels unfold from the chamber walls. Miners shout beneath the rubble while starsteel pillars spit blue-white sparks, and hot metal air surges from the shaft. The ceiling sheds another shower of rock. Move now, or the rescue pocket closes forever.
Battlefield Zones
1
The Support Line
Cracked Pillars: Three leaning supports create half cover and 5-foot gaps between unstable stone.
2
The Broken Lift
Tilted Lift: A broken mining platform slopes toward the shaft; movement across it costs 10 extra feet.
3
The Trapped Crew
Rescue Pocket: Miners are pinned beneath fallen stone beside two sparking rune pillars.
Terrain Levers
- A character can topple a cracked support pillar with a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check, opening a path but dropping rubble in a 10-foot square.
- A tilted lift platform can be shoved 10 feet with a DC 14 Strength (Athletics) check, crushing creatures beneath it on a failed DC 15 Dexterity save.
- A starsteel rune pillar can be disrupted with a DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check, ending its next surge but dealing 2d6 lightning damage to the interrupter.
- The hot shaft vents every round, pushing unsecured loose objects 5 feet toward its edge.
