The Rubble Pile¶
Era: Post-apocalyptic Earth Location: A non-flooded section of a mega-city
A collection (3-4) of large high-rise or mega buildings in relativly close proximity have partially collapsed into a large rubble pile.
Multiple floors above ground remain fully intact and some partially intact above those.
The underground sections like parking garages, inter-building tunnels, basements and such are intact, or mostly intact.
Two entrances have been cleared into the pile for access. The entrances are spread between two buildings and travel between them and any other buildings is via the underground tunnel networks.
Lookout posts, similar to castle towers, have been cleared high up in the partially collapsed sections. Makeshift reinforcement/shoring has been used to prevent further collapse. These posts may be manned with people or remotly operated cameras and other sensors.
The rubble cleared for the entraces has been piled up to form a type of bailey and there is a gatehouse/checkpoint controlling access. Each entrace also has an checkpoint.
One of the buildings, with a direct entrance, has a fully intact multi-story lobby which has been converted into a market packed with vendor stalls selling/trading all sorts of goods.
Public access to the bailey(s) and market is permitted during standard hoursand there is at least one inn providing overnight accomodations.
There are internal checkpoints restricting access to the non-public areas to residents and guests only.
It would be very difficult to take this location via assult; work most likely require a prolonged seige.
