Cramped Warehouses, Carts and Cargo: Arasek Stockyard

Trudging through the mud churned by hundreds of boots, hooves or wagon wheels, one can dive into the turmoil and explore the Arasek Stockyard.

In the official adventure, this location barely gets a mention, its only purpose is to act as the parking space for Rictoavio’s cart.

We took the opportunity to meaningfully expand on the available Curse of Strahd Maps!

This big, believable, lived-in trade post can carry an entire session on its own.

At the center lies the Main Hall. The whole place spans three floors and a walkable roof!

The Main Courtyard ties the different locations together, its filled with Carts, cargo, and all the NPCs you desire.

For those of you running the module, there’s also Rictavio's wagon, right where the adventure demands it.

If you are a Beneos Creatures, Spells and Loot supporter, you can breathe some new life into the statblocks of Rictavio and his battle-cat!

ALL IN ALL:

6x Animated battlemaps + 6 animated sceneries
3 ambient tracks
2x animated intro sequence (one focusing on the tiger escaping)
3D-rendered player handouts

Stockyard Entry

Warehouse First Floor

At the center lies the Main Hall. The whole place spans three floors, a walkable roof, and a cellar underneath. It's not glamorous. It's cramped, bordering on claustrophobic and is the perfect setpiece for raids, heists, infiltrations or any kind of scenario that benefits from a detailed environment, lots of line of sight breaking clutter and plenty of props to interact with.

Warehouse Second Floor

As always, every map comes with handouts to showcase every bit of the setting and there are several ambience tracks to truly bring this place to life.

Warehouse Roof

Noir heist, cult horror, monster hunt, military siege or shopping episode - warehouse and stockyard are a worthy setpiece for whatever you are running. Just give it a reason to exist and t'll hold up its end of the bargain.

Stockyard

The Main Courtyard ties the different locations together, its filled with Carts, cargo, and all the NPCs you desire. it's a lively trade hub for any campaign, somewhere your players haggle, eavesdrop, get jumped or witness plot relevant scenes happening. For those of you running the module, there’s also Rictavio's wagon, right where the adventure demands it.

Barn

The Barn is contrasting with the other maps as being one big open room with enough space to serve any purpose you have in mind.

Leaving the main courtyard, there are different Storage Areas and outer Perimeters to explore. Palisades limit the freely available routes in out, funneling the crowds towards multiple gates, manned by official guards or brazen bandits eager to collect a fee. If your players dont like the idea of going where they are supposed to - or when - there are enough blind spots to encourage a good nightly climb or a tense eavesdropping scene.

Beneos Creatures, Spells & Loot Patreons can switch the placeholder SRD Tokens for the Cambion, Imp and Ice Devil with Beneos Orginal Creatures:

Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter Armored Cart
Armored War-Tiger

These are fully integrated creature tokens (2,5D Tokens + Top Down) with their Codex entry, the Tactical Guide and Autopilot functions.
