Read Aloud
A branch snaps above the path. Arrows hiss from the brush and a heavy shape crashes out of the trees with a raised morningstar. Another goblin scrambles up the blind, grinning through leaf-stained teeth.

Battlefield Zones
1
Forest Path
A narrow dirt path under close firs. Roots snag feet. One clear lane, nowhere to dodge for long.
2
Brush Line
A shallow ditch and thorn brush off the east side. Half cover, bad footing, good place to vanish.
3
Hunting Blind
A split pine with a rope blind and a pile of chopped branches. High ground for arrows and a quick climb.
Terrain Levers
- Drop a deadfall: block the path and split the fight.
- Kick over the berry carts: make a slick, noisy patch in the open.
- Cut the hanging vine rope: bring down a hunting blind or supply bundle.
