Dangling Lifts

$4.99

The Lifts down into the slag vaults have not been used in a long time. The mining got too deep and the updrafts too strong to move anything reliably. Now they just swing uselessly above the burning pits.

The slag vaults below the valley of smoke are mined relentlessly for the resources of war. These charred shafts dip deep deep into the earth and are manned by legions of breathless automatons. The best thing about this mechanical work force is if one falls or goes missing on duty they are a simple thing to replace, and their bodies melt in with the rest of the slag below. No wonder the walkways are hardly more than some beams and planks.

For this map I wanted to develop a set piece encounter for some serious swashbuckling. Setting a scene where the players can duel heroically while the environment shifts under their feet. I actually can't wait to run this one myself, I think it’d be a hit, seeing how the players use the swinging of the lifts to their advantage. Knowing players will most likely want to slice the ropes, I also included a version with just the background and PNG tokens for the lifts to allow for that!
