Wooded Parkland

Pavilion Grounds Wooded Perimeter

Dense clusters of oak and pine line the outer edges of the Pavilion grounds, their gnarled roots twisting through the undergrowth to anchor centuries-old trunks. The foliage tightens into a natural corridor that muffles hoofbeats and shouts alike, offering fleeting cover for those fleeing on horseback. Sunlight fractures through the overhead canopy in shifting shafts, casting dappled shadows that obscure movement just long enough to delay pursuit. The air here smells of damp soil and crushed needles, the scent sharp with adrenaline as Romana and the Doctor risk everything on raw speed through the half-known terrain.
