Catacomb Conspiracy
Read Aloud
Ash bursts from the braziers as black-robed inquisitors drag the frightened aide toward the sealed vault. Bronze dragons glare from the walls, and a chained shadow tears free of the archives. The lead inquisitor raises a ring of legal sigils and says, “By order of Naxilar, kneel or be entered into the record.”

Battlefield Zones
A 5-foot-wide passage lined with bronze dragon reliefs; creatures cannot move around each other here.
Ash-filled braziers flank three pressure plates; smoke lightly obscures the center.
Chained records hang from the walls before the sealed vault door; the archives provide half cover.
Terrain Levers
- Bronze reliefs can be cracked to release a 10-foot cone of scalding ash, DC 13 Dexterity save, 2d6 fire damage.
- Pressure plates seal one tunnel for 1 round and trigger a silent alarm when stepped on.
- Chained archives provide half cover; cutting a chain drops the shelves, creating difficult terrain in a 10-foot line.
- The sealed vault door opens only when a legal sigil is traced while a draconic sigil is spoken aloud.
