About this model
A cluster of tall weathered wooden posts standing upright, the pilings that support a pier or jetty. The timber is grey and worn by water. The group spans about 7.5 ft by 10 ft and rises roughly 12.5 ft.
Place them in shallow water, along a riverbank or at the edge of a dock to show where a pier once stood or still stands. They are thin cover for someone hiding behind a post and make a broken pier read as ruined. Combined with planks they become the frame of a working jetty.
Ideas for the table
- Only the posts remain of the old pier, and a merfolk scout watches the party from behind them.
- A body is tied to one of the posts at low tide, and the water is rising.
- Characters leap from post to post to reach a boat moored beyond the broken jetty.
