Hold the Eastern Wall
Read Aloud
Mist parts below the eastern wall as ladders bite into the stone and mercenaries climb toward the broken parapet. Plant the War Banner, turn the ballistae, and choose where the defenders stand before the black banners reach the top. The first ladder hooks over the wall.

Battlefield Zones
1
Eastern Wall
Broken Parapet: a 25-foot stretch of shattered crenellations; half cover where stone remains, 20-foot drop to the field.
2
Banner Platform
Banner Step: the cleared stair landing where the War Banner must be planted; open ground, difficult terrain from rubble.
3
Siege Deck
Siege Deck: two improvised ballistae behind stacked crates; crates provide half cover but burn easily.
Terrain Levers
- Cut a ladder: remove one ladder and force its climbers to save or fall 20 feet.
- Raise the War Banner: defenders gain advantage on their next saving throw against fear.
- Fire the improvised ballista: target a ladder, mantlet, or clustered attackers.
- Kick loose stones from the broken crenellation: creatures below make a DC 13 Dexterity save or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage and fall prone.
