[QUOTE="MortalPlague, post: 5628527, member: 62721"] Hey folks, I'm putting together an encounter for my thieves' guild game tomorrow. I've got a kind of back-alley park between a set of buildings, where my players are likely to do battle with another band of thieves. The kicker; these thieves are dark elves, and they've brought friends. Ropers, in particular. As you can see in my badly-scanned map, I have a rough layout. The two ropers are marked on there (each with range 10, so they cover a good distance). There's a stable-type area, empty of animals, but full of hay... very flammable hay. Other than that, the rooftops will be accessible. But I'd like to put more in the north and south courtyard areas. For the record, the little open spaces in the walls are windows, which players will be able to clamber through or shoot through. Notably, the ropers can also snag people through them. Any ideas? Ideally, I'm looking for something that'll be interesting in game, but would be found in a regular back alley in a normal human city. I'm drawing a blank... any help would be very much appreciated.
