An illustration for the game Knights in Tight spaces. Three fantasy heroes - a mage, a crouching rogue, and an armour knight - are the focus of the image, facing the viewer. In the darkness, in the foreground, the outlines of would-be assailants can be seen. Behind them, through a stained glass window, the glow of an evening sun can be seen. A fight is about to break out.
