Read aloud

Say this

A woman in a mud-streaked apron shuffles into the lane, staring past you with a spray of pale fungus growing through her hair. Three more people step out from behind the wall and shed, moving wrong, their joints stiff and their mouths full of green dust. They spot your strongest-looking fighter and lunge for them.

The battlefield

  1. 1

    The lane25 ft

    A narrow farm lane with a handcart and deep wheel ruts.

    A low stone wall borders the lane; a body lies slumped behind it.

  3. 3

    The yard25 ft

    A muddy yard with a wash line and a half-open shed.

What the party can use

Kick over the handcart: it blocks a 10-foot stretch of lane.
Cut the hanging laundry line: wet sheets drop across the lane and obscure sight through them.
A crushed spore sack releases a choking puff; creatures in its 5-foot space cough and cannot see clearly until the start of their next turn.
