About this model
A heap of yellowed skulls and long bones piled into a loose mound, with a rusted sword driven point-down into the top. The bones look old and dry rather than freshly picked. The pile spreads about 7 ft across in each direction and rises roughly 4 ft, covering a little more than a square and spilling into its neighbours.
Drop it in an ogre's den, a necromancer's workshop, a dragon's lair or the bottom of a pit trap. On the map it reads as difficult ground and low cover, enough for a small creature to crouch behind. It also makes a natural spot to hide a trigger, a key or something that wakes when disturbed.
Ideas for the table
- The sword in the bone pile is the very blade the party was hired to recover, and lifting it rouses the skulls beneath.
- A carrion crawler nests under a heap of bones and only surfaces when someone steps on the mound.
- In a troll's cave, the party sorts the bones by size to work out how many villagers have gone missing.
