Cave Skirmish
Cave Skirmish is a sparse and gnarly combat loop suitable for any low-stakes confrontation. The heavy reliance on percussion, including marimba, evoke going toe-to-toe with wolves, gators, goblins, or any other low-level set of enemies. The piece is slightly coloured with unconventional wind instruments, including baritone sax, and some subtle pads start to push it into steam punk land, so this may work in fighting simple constructs as well.
This piece was originally inspired by the Cragmaw Hideout, a goblin-infested cave to explore in the Lost Mine of Phandelver, the starter kit to Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and is part of a growing selection of music composed specifically for that adventure!
