After the Last Push — Battlefield Spoils

The smoke has barely cleared. Trenches and shattered pikes line the ridge; horses and wagons are long gone, but the field keeps its stories. What remains are practical salvage and tokens of rank: broken weapons, salvaged armor, spent standards, and the valuables that commanders and baggage masters couldn't carry away. The party picks through the mud and blood to find things that can be sold, repaired, or repurposed — and the occasional piece that hints at a higher value or darker use. Everything here fits a hard-pressed battlefield: gear meant for war, not luxury, with scattered personal effects from officers and supply wagons.
