Harvest Festival Market Battle Map
A lantern-lit village square with eight stalls, a central brazier, hay bales, and two broad crossing lanes. The stalls give cover without sealing the space into narrow corridors.

Original player map: 30 × 20 squares, 70 pixels per square, 2100 × 1400 pixels. Assume one square equals 5 feet or 1.5 meters. No GM clues are printed on the player files.
For a VTT, set the scene grid to 30 × 20 and 70 pixels per square. For print, keep the source at full resolution and print at your chosen physical square size; a large map may need tiled pages.
Run this encounter
At the opening of The Vanishing Harvest, a nervous baker accuses a traveling peddler of stealing the feast grain. The peddler has actually found a trail of amber seeds. Let characters question witnesses while carts and festival guests create moving obstacles.
- The central brazier is warm but can be safely doused; use it as a visible landmark, not an automatic damage source.
- Market stalls are 3 × 3 squares. A creature can duck behind canvas and tables for cover; a toppled stall blocks a lane until cleared.
- The north and south road stays at least four squares wide, giving groups room to negotiate or chase without forcing combat.
GM-only clue and placement
Place the amber seed clue under the northwestern green stall. If the group misses it, the cider seller points out a bird carrying the same glowing seed toward the pumpkin field.
