Thorp Field

Thorp Field was once the university's primary sports field. Now, years after the construction of Illidan Stadium, the field sees far less use. Its official purpose is as a dedicated practice field for Strixhaven's high-profile student teams, whose official matches take place in newer facilities elsewhere on campus.   However, less competitive teams hold their matches on this field, most notably the Silkball Club. The elevated ramps used in silkball matches were permanently built into Thorp Field, whose name evokes a popular silkball move that involves using magic to hop through the air.     (Descriptions assume the characters are using this field during the day. At night, the field is devoid of students.)     Southwestern Outbuilding   This gray metal storage shed consists of three short silos topped with flat roofs. Weathered wooden doors that were once painted bright yellow lead inside, and a short fence protects the building from impacts from gear sent flying from the field.   The doors to these sheds are locked, but Rosie has the key, as do several faculty members. A character using thieves' tools can open either lock with a successful DC 25 Dexterity check.   This shed's central silo contains a jumble of obsolete equipment that belongs to the gymnastics club. Old practice horses, balance beams, disassembled high bars, floor mats, and more are shoved against the curved wall.     Southeastern Outbuilding   The doors to these sheds are locked, but Rosie has a key. A successful DC 25 Dexterity check using thieves' tools opens each lock.   This shed's central silo holds old silkball and Mage Tower equipment: bins of deflated silkballs, wooden dummy mascots, and dented field rakes.     Practice Field   The hexagonal shape of this old practice field is outlined in glowing magical chalk. Several dirt ramps, each at least ten feet wide, slope and crisscross dizzyingly.   The straight central lengths of each ramp are elevated to 10 ft, except the middle one, which is 20.     Dugout and Bleachers   In each dugout, a small vial was accidentally left behind. In the west dugout, the vial contains oil of slipperiness. In the east dugout, it's a potion of climbing. A character who searches a dugout finds the relevant vial tucked underneath a back bench.   These bleachers rise 30 feet in the air at the back.
