Castle Gate at Dusk
Curtain walls, a gatehouse, a courtyard and the road up to it.
The place
Setting: Dusk, a warm sun low over the battlements
Stone curtain walls with parapets and battlements, a gatehouse with an archway you can walk through, a courtyard with a well and stores, and the road climbing to the gate. It is built in three dimensions on purpose: the wall walk is a real 10-foot-high surface, and the ruler charges the climb.
What the recipe places
- 6 floor and road ops
- 11 wall runs
- 43 props, lines and scatters
- 10 lights and effects
- 9 miniatures
Encounters it was built for
- Holding the gate: defenders on the wall walk, attackers on the road, the archway as the objective.
- A night infiltration over the wall; the top-down view shows the guard routes.
- Parley at the gate that turns into a fight in the courtyard.
Tips
- The Castle kit in the room tool builds walls with matching parapets and battlements in one drag.
- Place a miniature on the wall walk and drag it; the readout says how many feet up it is.
- Use pings (double-click) to point players at the gatehouse without touching their tokens.
