Keep the Lantern Out of the Water
Read Aloud
Water slaps your knees as the burial mounds rise and fall around you. Reed-wrapped dead lurch out of the flood, while robed figures back away from the lantern path and point you toward the worst ground. A hard-eyed captain in a wet coat shouts for his people to hold you here, not kill you.

Battlefield Zones
1
Flooded Mounds
Waist-deep floodwater between half-sunk graves. Difficult terrain, loud splashes, and little cover.
2
Dry Hummocks
Three narrow hummocks of dry stone and mud. Good footing, poor balance, and easy to isolate a target.
3
Stone Ring
A ring of leaning grave markers and reed mats that block sight until someone rounds them.
Terrain Levers
- Kick over a stone marker to slow movement in that lane.
- Lure foes onto the sinking hummocks, where they risk dropping prone.
- Break a reed screen to open a line of sight over the water.
