Cross the Reef Before the Tide Turns
Read Aloud
- The surf slams the reef and whitens the water. Something long and pale slides under the foam. - A head breaks the surface near the rocks, then another below the waterline. The channel is full of teeth. - The eels are hunting the edge, trying to pull one of you into the tide pools and cut the group in half.

Battlefield Zones

Surf Shelf
Knee-deep surf over slick reef rock. Creatures here must fight poor footing and the pounding wash.
2
Stone Channel
A split stone channel with waist-high water and sharp coral edges. Easy to lose line of sight in the chop.
3
Tide Pools
A ring of black tide pools and submerged holes. Eels can vanish here, then strike from below.
Terrain Levers
- Break a coral shelf to foul the surf and force the eels into the open
- Lure an eel into a tide pool, then jam the exit with a spear, shield, or fallen stone
- Kick up spray in the channel to hide a retreat or a rescue
