Ambush at the Toll Bridge

Read Aloud

The wolves rush from the reeds as goblins loose arrows from behind the grain carts. One goblin hacks at the lead cart's brake rope while the bridge groans under its weight. Stop the cart, drive them off, or watch the village's winter grain slide into the creek.

Battlefield Zones

1
The Toll Bridge

A 25-foot wooden bridge over a fast, shallow creek; missing planks create gaps.

2
The Grain Carts

A 25-foot muddy bank stacked with three grain carts and loose sacks.

3
The Reed Bank

A 25-foot reed bed beside the creek; creatures inside are lightly obscured.

Terrain Levers

  • Cut the rope holding the cargo net: it drops a load of crates into a 15-foot square.
  • Kick loose bridge planks: one 10-foot section becomes difficult terrain until repaired.
  • Shove the toll bell: its clang alerts reinforcements after 1 round.
