Keep the Sigil of Tide Out of the Rite
Read Aloud
Water churns around the altar as coral pillars creak under the strain. Vhalis raises the Sigil of Tide and the basin starts to pull at your feet. Her guards spread wide, trying to split you from the altar and each other.

Battlefield Zones
1
Coral Ring
Dry stone ring with four coral pillars. Half cover, tight footing, good sight lines to the altar.
2
Submerged Stairs
Slippery stairs half under water. Difficult footing, easy to shove, hard to keep the party together.
3
Tide Basin
A waist-deep tide basin around the Sigil of Tide. Strong current on Vhalis's turns, brutal for anyone pushed in.
Terrain Levers
- Break a coral pillar to drop rough cover and make a 10-foot lane of broken stone.
- Wrench open the basin sluice to drain part of the chamber and expose the altar steps.
- Kick a hanging shell-lamp into the tide basin to flare bright light and spoil hiding in the water.
