Aftermath at the Shelf's Edge
Read Aloud
The wagons lurch downhill, harnesses snapping tight as horses and mules rear against the slope. Oil burns across the ledge, crates slide underfoot, and the Dawnvale-marked supply crate sits in the middle of the wreckage. Smoke curls from a narrow passage where heavy bootprints disappear, and a wounded orc drags himself after them.

Terrain Levers
- Rolling wagon: DC 13 Dexterity save when moving within 5 feet or fall prone; DC 13 Athletics check to slow or stop each wagon.
- Panicked horses and mules: DC 12 Animal Handling calms up to three; failure makes the group break free and move 20 feet randomly.
- Burning oil: 10-foot swath; entering or ending a turn there deals 2d6 fire damage, DC 12 Dexterity save for half; difficult terrain until extinguished.
- Broken crates and harness lines make the ledge difficult terrain.
- Smoke-hazed footprints: DC 13 Perception or Survival reveals a hidden orc 30 feet into the side passage.
