I have an encounter coming up that I really want to make fun. But I always find chases to be womp-womp.

They are currently in a horse-pulled wagon and trying to get to harbour to meet a boat to escape.

Behind them will come enemies nom horseback- and a variety of minions and critters that run (don’t know what exactly yet…. Maybe some flying minions? For spice?)

I’d like to come up with a way to make it feel high stakes, get some good complications, with the mane chance for melee combat in the cart.

Any suggestions? I don’t want it to feel like a skills challenge and be boring and unnecessary.

If they lose the chase they get into a full combat and miss their boat, if they win the chase they get to the boat and escape.

Level 7 party.
