Stop the Ritual in the Chain Sanctum
Stop the Ritual in the Chain Sanctum
Read Aloud
The black floor shakes as the last chains around the altar strain and sing. Xaviann Krynn stands inside the rune circle with blood on his hands, chanting over a pit of crawling dark. Four chain-devils and robed fanatics guard him while the sanctum wakes up around their feet.

Battlefield Zones
Black stone dais, cracked circles of blood and ash, with the ritual engine in the middle and four dangling chain clusters overhead.
Ring of knee-high braziers and prayer rails, slick with wax and old rainwater from a ceiling crack.
Broken steps and side alcoves packed with censers, scroll racks, and hanging chains that snag movement.
Terrain Levers
- Smash a hanging shackled chain to drop a 10-foot section of broken iron onto a lane.
- Kick over the censer brazier to fill a zone with choking incense smoke.
- Strike the rune pillar to snuff one ward and open a risky shortcut across the floor.
