  • This is amazing Jim. I love, love, love the side view of the map. You even put trees on the sides of the mountain!!! It really clarifies the layout of the dungeon. Bravo!
  • Thank you Shessar.

    Quentin, aren't they invisible ?
  • Hahaha. They are like the trees beside the Doors of Moria, even with the lake below, and an additional waterfall from a small stream perhaps running through the main level, or beside it, coming out only near the entrance, outside the Doors. (which shouldn't require any alteration to your maps)
  • Oh good.

    Anyway, I'll start my write up this weekend for each level.

    If you want something specific added to this adventure's text, just post it and I'll add it in.
  • No, nothing specific at all - I love what you come up with anyway. This has got to be the best dungeon ever - the Moria of Nibirum.
  • Okay. I was gaming in EQ II, and got my power steering pump fixed. Mostly handed tools to my relative, but thats done.

    I'll try and work on the verbiage tomorrow and Monday.

    And Thanks Quenten.

    I better stop anyways, I'm misspelling words.

    Preliminary, please let me know what you think.

    The lake is quiet, except when birds grab up a fish.
    The winds call through the trees, 'Dwarves where are you ?",
    but there is no answer.

    No dwarf drums of war, nor of dance, echo in these halls,
    all is quiet, except the stir of dead leaves,
    in the lookout and entrance halls.

    No more stately Official marches,
    Feasts of wild boar are no more.

    Small and large creatures,
    wander the halls once lit by lanterns of gold.

    The lights of happiness and warriors,
    are gone from these Halls of Rorial,
    the kites and buzzards are gone,
    no more pickings left for them to eat.

    Silence reigns here,
    all is lost.

    The waterfall and the Two Trees,
    listen from time to time,
    for the hunting horns of the Dwarves,
    but those are silent,
    broken during the attacks.

    A small group of elves came by,
    years later,
    to see why trade had stopped,
    all they found was broken shields,
    broken weapons,
    and skeletons of the defenders,
    they placed a monument to the fallen,
    but something evil tore it down.

    The elves have not returned in this direction,
    for several years,
    songs were sung in rememberance,
    but the Dwarves are gone,
    from the Rorial Halls.
  • That is so beautiful, Jim. But the word critters is a little jarring to the mood of the rest - perhaps if you changed it to creatures. But the poem is wonderful.
  • Change made.

    Thanks. I try to do my best.

    A magnificent effort, Jim :)

    I'm no good at spotting errors on DM maps because I don't play, but I can help you by going through the descriptions for typos. Here are the first.

    Lookout level:

    'ballistas' should be 'ballistae'.

    Level 03:

    'preperation' should be 'preparation', and 'worn down' might be better with a hyphen as 'worn-down'.

    Level 02:

    Stray 'b' in point 14 in front of the word 'might'. In point 15 'some thing' should be 'something'. In point 17 Amrmory should be armory.

    Gound level:

    Point 3 - 'nive' should be (don't know what). 'barracade' should be 'barricade'. 'becomea' should be 'become a'. Point 9 - 'skelton' should be 'skeleton'. point 12 - 'smal lbarricade' should be 'small barricade'. Point 22 - 'preperation' should be 'preparation'. Point 30 - 'barracade' should be 'barricade'. Point 32 -'tloor' should be 'floor'.

    More to follow...

    Sub-level 2

    Point 8 - 'perentially' should be 'partially' (I think). Point 10 - 'staris' should be 'stairs'.

    Sub-level 3 B

    Point 2 - 'keletons' should be 'skeletons'. Point 7 - 'sphjere' should be 'sphere'. Point 13 - 'skuls' should be 'skulls'.

    Sub-level 4

    Point 1 - 'funoture' should be 'furniture'. Point 8 - 'skeltons' should be 'skeletons'

    Deadly Cave

    Location 5 - 'alkaly' should be 'alkali' (I think that is what you might mean)

    Not bad really considering the amount of text there is :)
  • My typing skills have gone deownhill, on roller skates, since I retired.

    Thanks. I'll correct that in the original text.
  • LoopysueLoopysue ProFantasy 🖼️ 39 images Cartographer
    Don't knock yourself, Jim. It's mostly just the odd letter sneaking in, like they do when you type really fast.
  • nive should have been nice.

    Here is all of it. Monsen, when do you want me to submit the fcw files and text ? And I remember you want each level's text in separate files.

    Preliminary, please let me know what you think.

    The lake is quiet, except when birds grab up a fish.
    The winds call through the trees, 'Dwarves where are you ?",
    but there is no answer.

    No dwarf drums of war, nor of dance, echo in these halls,
    all is quiet, except the stir of dead leaves,
    in the lookout and entrance halls.

    No more stately Official marches,
    Feasts of wild boar are no more.

    Small and large critters,
    wander the halls once lit by lanterns of gold.

    The lights of happiness and warriors,
    are gone from these Halls of Rorial,
    the kites and buzzards are gone,
    no more pickings left for them to eat.

    Silence reigns here,
    all is lost.

    The waterfall and the Two Trees,
    listen from time to time,
    for the hunting horns of the Dwarves,
    but those are silent,
    broken during the attacks.

    A small group of elves came by,
    years later,
    to see why trade had stopped,
    all they found was broken shields,
    broken weapons,
    and skeletons of the defenders,
    they placed a monument to the fallen,
    but something evil tore it down.

    The elves have not returned in this direction,
    for several years,
    songs were sung in rememberance,
    but the Dwarves are gone,
    from the Rorial Halls.
