This chilling battle map features a low, rocky hill overlooking a vast, lifeless field littered with the mummified remains of countless cattle. The complete absence of vegetation and the overwhelming putrid scent of decay make this an incredibly eerie setting for any 1920s investigation or cosmic horror encounter. The terrain is largely open, forcing investigators to use the piles of morbid carcasses or the slight elevation of the hill for cover against unspeakable mythos horrors. For VTT encounters, dynamic lighting can play on the harsh, shadow-casting forms of the dead cattle. The hill provides a natural vantage point or a desperate last stand location. Movement through the carcass-strewn lower field should be treated as difficult terrain, adding a tactical layer of movement penalties as characters navigate the unsettling environment while trying to escape or confront a terrifying threat.
