The Mole’s Hole – Crime Syndicate Hideout

The Mole’s Hole – Crime Syndicate Hideout

Terrain (Structure, Hideout)

Appearing as an innocent, roadside tavern nestled into a grassy hillock, this impressive modular structure anchors any urban outskirts map with immense narrative presence. Beneath its welcoming exterior lies a multi-layered fortress designed for tactical ambushes, hidden criminal operations, and illicit gang meetings. Keepers can deploy this massive centerpiece to transition seamlessly from a social tavern gathering to a high-stakes raid on a syndicate’s secret headquarters.

Tabletop Lore

Located on a small hillock on the volatile outskirts of Grimgate, the Mole’s Hole presents itself as a clean, well-kept establishment dedicated to whetting the whistle of weary travelers making their way out of the city or just arriving from the long road. Little do these unsuspecting patrons know that directly beneath their feet, the most ruthless masterminds of one of Baldur’s deadliest crime syndicates gather in absolute secrecy. Far below the floorboards of the common room, macabre plans are meticulously sketched out in the dark, and bloodstained hands are clasped in unholy alliances away from the prying eyes of the law.

Highlight

The exceptional modular design allows Keepers to cleanly remove the roof and upper floor levels, instantly exposing detailed interior layouts for seamless miniature movement during tactical indoor skirmishes.

Players can attempt a stealthy infiltration through the rear cliffside paths, negotiate with cutthroats in the main tavern room, or launch a full-scale siege against fortified upper balconies and tight internal choke points.
