Dark Dwarf Encounter • Tactical Map • Miniatures • 5E Compatible

At the edge of the underdark, a lone bridge stands between safety and damnation. Epic Encounters: Bridge of the Duergar Cult throws adventurers into a brutal choke-point battle where fanatical duergar, dark rituals, and sheer vertical danger combine into a deadly confrontation.

Designed as a 5E-compatible encounter-in-a-box, this set focuses on tactical positioning, environmental hazards, and relentless pressure as the party faces a cult willing to sacrifice everything to protect its secrets.

Clues uncovered here may later lead directly to the events of Circle of the Demon Prince.

The scenario rewards careful planning, battlefield awareness, and decisive action under pressure.
