The siege has broken through. **The Breached Portcullis** presents a highly tactical assault scenario where the initial defenses of a grand citadel have finally collapsed. Splintered wooden gates and twisted iron create a chaotic entryway, forcing invaders and defenders alike to navigate treacherous footing. Tactically, this map revolves around the massive **rubble choke points**. The collapsed stone portcullis offers heavy cover for defenders trying to hold the line, while attackers must funnel through narrow, exposed gaps. Line of sight is frequently broken by mounds of fallen masonry, allowing rogues and skirmishers to dart between cover. *GM Tip:* Use the unstable rubble as difficult terrain. You can also incorporate environmental hazards, such as falling stones from the weakened archways above, or hidden traps laid by the desperate defenders amidst the debris.
