Running Cragfur

Prepare the scene

Loose grit falls from the ledge. A shaggy shape pulls itself across the rock above your lantern's reach.

A shaggy cave climber watches its territory from ledges above the path. Dust and stone caught in its coat make it difficult to pick out against the rock.

Encounter settings: Cave.

Establish the surroundings, each participant’s position, and what the party can perceive before resolving the encounter. Use the current core rules for surprise and turn order when combat begins.

Run the profile

Use the following source instructions for the encounter’s actions and effects.

Present the counterplay

Watch vertical routes and offer passage rather than assuming a fight. This is a fresh cave-beast treatment, not imported fantasy ancestry.

Make the relevant behavior or environmental clues perceptible through the scene so the party can act on them.
