About this model
A dark woodland ground of soil, twigs, needles and scattered leaves in browns and greys. It has the slightly damp, cluttered look of a floor under a closed canopy where little grass grows. One tile fills a single 5 ft square and sits flat on the terrain.
Use it beneath stands of trees, around hunters' camps, at the mouths of caves and along game trails. On a big outdoor map it breaks up open grass and tells players they have entered thicker country, which is a good cue to describe snapping twigs, poor sight lines and roots underfoot. Many tables treat a patch of it under brush as difficult terrain.
Ideas for the table
- Wolves circle a camp in a clearing of forest floor, and every crack of a twig is a clue to where the next one will come from.
- A druid's hidden grove is ringed by forest floor that hides a scatter of snare traps.
- The party tracks an owlbear through dense woodland and must read its trail from disturbed ground before nightfall.
