Spoiler Warning: If you are one of my players, you will get to see this eventually. However, if you choose to read it now, it will give you a fair idea as to what is coming down the path. Its up to you.

I am running a Dungeon World game in which the characters are going to have to deal with a raid on a halfling town by scores of gnolls and goblins. The town consist most of halfling dwellings burrowed into scores of small hills. The town has no walls, but the dwellings themselves are reasonably fortified, so the idea is that the fighting will take place mostly in the spaces between the dwellings.
Rather than try and manage all the elements myself, I wanted to create something that would focus in on just the PC's and generate what is happening around them. As this is Dungeon World, the players will see this once the encounter starts and will make all of the rolls themselves.
Its still a bit basic, but I would really appreciate any input you might have.
