Descriptions

The old fort sits at the top of a hill in a clearing that has over grown with brush. The walls are black weathered stone with iron spikes jutting from the top. The walls are broken in places and the main gate is twisted and hangs slightly ajar. Flood lights hand from the one standing tower n the front corner though one seems to be shorted out.

If firing past the floodlight at the rifleman on the tower he gains concealment bonus due to glare.
