C12 - Defensive Ledge
As you step through the ominous entrance, the cavernous room opens up before you, revealing a roughly hewn chamber that stretches approximately 35 feet by 70 feet. The uneven walls are carved from the natural rock, and the ceiling above disappears into the darkness. The air is damp, and the faint scent of earth fills the cavern. The room consists of two sections, separated by a narrow wooden bridge that spans a deep crevasse.
Dimensions: 35 feet by 70 feet
Sections:
South Section: The northern side of the room is relatively bare, with uneven walls providing little cover. The floor is littered with loose stones and uneven terrain. Dim torches are scattered haphazardly, casting long shadows that seem to dance with the flickering flame. North Section: The southern side of the room appears to be a makeshift living area for the Crimson Blades. Roughly carved niches in the walls serve as makeshift shelves, holding stolen goods and ill-gotten gains. Crates and barrels are scattered around, creating an improvised storage area. The faint sound of whispered conversations and the clinking of metal can be heard from deeper within the south section. Wooden Bridge: Connecting the two sections is a narrow wooden bridge that spans a deep crevasse. The bridge appears old and weathered, its wooden planks creaking with each step. The gap below is shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to discern its depth.Traps:
Hidden Pitfall: In the southern section, there is a section of the floor that appears stable but is, in fact, a trapdoor leading to a concealed pitfall. Stepping on the wrong spot triggers the trap, causing the floor to give way, and anyone unlucky enough to be standing there will fall into a concealed pit. Tripwire Trap: Within the northern section, a barely noticeable tripwire is strung across the path. When triggered, it releases a cascade of loose stones from above, creating a makeshift rockslide that can potentially injure or impede intruders. Swaying Bridge: The wooden bridge itself is rigged with hidden mechanisms that cause it to sway and shift unpredictably. Careless movement or excessive weight may destabilize the bridge, leading to a precarious situation for anyone attempting to cross.Illumination:
The room is poorly lit, with only a few torches scattered throughout. Shadows play on the cave walls, making it difficult to discern the full extent of the cavern. The dim lighting adds an eerie atmosphere, heightening the sense of danger lurking within.
