Above the Guard Search

Depicted moment

After the Rat House fight, Rage, Ignatius, and Carver scatter to the rooftops while guards converge on the alley below.

Artistic interpretation

The rooftop path, guard uniforms, city skyline, and exact number of searchers are visual staging. The image does not establish that the guards saw the party or that Rage’s unidentified infection has a visible symptom.

Canonical status

Accepted Session 21 artwork. It preserves the party’s relative scale in a stealth scene: Rage’s greataxe is secured rather than drawn, Ignatius remains a tall dragonborn, and Carver is a normally proportioned adult tabaxi rather than a small catlike figure.

On wet nighttime rooftops above Martira Bay, Rage, Ignatius, and Carver crouch in shadow and watch a lantern-bearing guard search below. The city stretches toward misty dark water in the distance.
