About this model
A long black steel balustrade with close vertical bars, made to wrap the bottom landing of a fire escape. It has a long front run with a shorter return section. The piece spans about 15.5 ft by 4.5 ft and stands 3.5 ft tall.
Fit it over the bottom platform so the landing has proper sides. The bars stop people falling but not arrows or bullets, so characters behind it are visible and only lightly screened. It is a good edge for climbing, as a character can haul up onto the landing by grabbing the bars.
Ideas for the table
- A thief threads a rope through the bars and lowers loot to a partner below.
- An enemy climbs over the railing from the street while the party fights on the landing.
- Laundry strung across the railing gives the party just enough of a screen to slip past.
