The room on the right side of the cave entrance will have arrow slots connecting it to the cave.
Left: guard room, quarters and armory for the guards, upper two probably dining and kitchen.
Might put a pit, unknown the the former inhabitants on the right, along with additional rooms nearby.
No tile walls on these rooms and corridors.
Thin lines from room to right of cave to cave are supposed to be 1 foot wide tubes or slots for arrow firing, or crossbow bolts.
Cob webs for thegiant spider.
Debris blocking access to the secret door. An often replaced torch in the same room.
Looking good, Jim :)
Magic in room 12 ? Is this what brought the outpost to ruin ? Why is it hidden behind several secret doors ?
Might go with a second level. What do you think ?
I think I'll go with Wyvern's descriptions for 1 and 2. Remy, I like the hidden necromancer idea as well.
edit:
Looking at adding additional rooms above, for the necromancer. Along with access to the pit so he can toss captives into it.
Not sure if rooms 9 and 10 will be for the dwarves or the necromancer.
Ground level: Necro 11, 12, and 13.
Upper level.
2 rooms and the cave.
1 and 3 is the bad guy's living and secondary torture areas. And 2 is the cave.
Is this lake a single huge cavern that's really tall? I'm trying to understand why it appears in all the levels.
Otherwise I'll be submitting by the end of the week.
A few hills, even fewer trees, a dry land.
The Paragaino River is off the map to the north side and east side of this map.
1) entrance cave. Large spider webs. Orcs thought they could bounce on them. The spiders liked that, but ate them anyway. Reminas of the orcs under the webs.
2) 30' x 30' x 10' Some skeletons. Stone and wood debris. Someone, or thing, renews the torch at random intervals. Secret door leads to the rest of this small comp[lex.

10) secret door to get to passageway to this room. 40' x 30' x 20' A room used by the dwarves to torture anyone they felt was responsible, or knew about, the disappearances. The thin walls shows it to be a later construction.
Two iron madens. A rack. Two seats of pain. A cage. Two green glowing vases.
Rooms 11, 12, and 13 are part of the Necromancer's domicile. No instruments of torture here. Its to calm the victims.

3) 20' x 60' x 10' easy chair and table.a nice bed. Two cupboards. Coin purse in one of the cupboards.
Thanks.
I can't see anything wrong with any of them to nit pic, but I've just run the text through my spellchecker for you and picked out a word I can't figure out. It's surrounded by 6 asterixis at the end of point 12

The Paragaino River is off the map to the north side and east side of this map.
The only civilization here was the Vale Watch cave fort.
There are occasional birds, some animals large and small, but no dwarves, humans, nor humanoids. On rare occasions the adventurers might spot a group off in the distance. When they get there, no tracks, no signs that any one was actually there.
