Keep the Codex from Maltren’s Agent
Read Aloud
The vault hums under your feet. A floating pedestal hangs over the Sunwell runoff, and the Codex sits in a ring of white fire. The ward-chains twitch, the shelves buckle, and the Obsidian Inquisitor steps in with a blade of black glass while the Radiant Sentinel locks the door with its body.

Battlefield Zones
1
Pedestal
Floating pedestal above the Sunwell runoff. Hard cover, open drop, drifting pages, and the codex is here.
2
Falling Stacks
Three tall shelves are cracking and tilting. Moving through here costs extra movement and risks a collapse.
3
Runoff Channel
A stone trough carries light like liquid. Bright glare, slick floor, and the ward-chains hang overhead.
Terrain Levers
- Crack a support shelf to make a 10-ft line of difficult terrain and falling books
- Shatter the radiant chains to blind a creature until end of its next turn
- Dump the runoff channel to flood the floor with bright, slippery water
