Encounter 09 - Smuggler's Cove (Painted)

I wasn’t sure how the painted algae-crusted dock would look up close, but the detail is really nice and adds a grim, lived-in feel. The gangplanks create a cool, narrow path that forces my players to move single file, which made our last heist scene so tense.

The way the gangplanks fit together into that winding path is incredibly clever, it really pulls you into the scene. I set it up on my table and immediately felt like I was sneaking into a hidden cove. The mossy dock detail is so good it makes the whole encounter feel alive.

The dock and gangplanks look great, though I wish the paint job had a bit more shading on the stonework. It works fine for a dark cavern scene, but it feels a tad flat compared to what I expected from the photos.
