Polished marble floors reflect the warm glow of gleaming candelabras in this lavish foyer and dining area. A grand majestic staircase dominates the entryway, providing an excellent elevated vantage point for ranged characters or dramatic entrances, while large vases overflowing with vibrant flowers flank the main double doors, creating minor obstacles. The centerpiece of the room is a massive, sturdy wooden table laden with gold tableware. In the event of an ambush, this table acts as both a substantial obstacle and heavy cover. Characters can flip the long table to protect themselves from crossfire, use the opulent chairs as improvised bludgeoning tools, or take advantage of the narrow chokepoints created between the heavy furniture and the decorative vases to completely control the flow of combat.
