This suite of interconnected utility rooms includes a spacious kitchen with a large cooking fireplace, a well-stocked pantry with spice racks and ale barrels, and a laundry area filled with washing tubs. Bloodstains and the bodies of several servants on the floor transform this mundane domestic setting into a tense crime scene, perfect for investigative encounters or sudden ambushes. The layout offers a mix of open spaces and tight chokepoints between the rooms. Large wooden tables, heavy ale barrels, and washing tubs provide excellent half-cover for ranged combatants. VTT lighting can emphasize the warm, flickering glow of the massive fireplace contrasting with the dark, shadowy corners of the pantry and laundry where secrets or enemies might hide.
