Map Correction — Swap Positions
Encounter 6.1 • The Twice-Damned Crown
⚠️ POSITION CORRECTION — SWAP FIGHTERS & SPELLCASTER
The positions of the two Scarred Hand Fighters (F) and the Spellcaster (S) should be swapped.
Old positions: Fighters were in the northern half of the alley using the column for cover. Spellcaster was behind the column.
Corrected positions: Fighters move behind the column. Spellcaster moves forward to the northern half of the alley.
❌ BEFORE (INCORRECT)
✅ AFTER (CORRECTED)
🎯 Why This Swap Matters
Tactical Reason: The fighters are meant to be the frontline, absorbing the party's initial assault while the spellcaster provides support from behind cover. Placing the fighters behind the column and the spellcaster in front exposes the spellcaster to the party's attacks and disrupts the encounter's balance.
Correct Placement:
- Fighters (F): Behind the column, using it as cover. They can still benefit from Shield Wall (+2 AC) while being protected from ranged attacks.
- Spellcaster (S): In the northern half of the alley, with the column in front to block attacks. This allows the spellcaster to support the fighters while staying protected.
📌 Updated Token Positions
- Fighters (×2): Behind the collapsed column, using it as cover. One fighter is 5 ft north of the column, the other is 5 ft south of the column. (Was: Exposed in alley)
- Spellcaster: In the northern half of the alley, 5 ft north of the fighters, with the column between them and the party. (Was: Behind the column)
- Crossbowman: Remains in the second-story window (unchanged).
❗ Action Required: Update the map to reflect the new positions. The crossbowman (C) remains in the window. The fighters and spellcaster have swapped positions as described.
