Haunted Cave area

A screen shot of second level. I may put some more maps off to the left, west, side.

Learning the interface is good. I have turned out over five thousand maps over the past 18 years. True, my ealry ones weren't very good, but I kept at it. This was before web pages, before Yahoo groups. First thing I learned there was: 1) not a paint program, it uses a CAD engine, 2) going through the tutorials is the best way to learn this and other software.

I have made, with this software, dungeons, towns, villages, continents, islands, star ships, etc.

Some map updates and the text. If no feedback by Tuesday of next week, I'll submit for the Atlas.

Not The Twin Dungeon

Former home of a guy who got tired of people who kept claiming he was a twin. His siblings didn't look like him at all. Yet townsfolk kept saying it. So one day he left and build part of this dungeon to get away from them.

Rooms are 10 feet high walls unless otherwise stated.

Monster placement is up to the referee.

The rooms and stairs could be cutaway so you can see the room interiors, or there might not be any walls for the rooms or the stairs other than what is mapped. Your decision.

1) one entrance. Water flowing form the side, helps keep the lake below filled.

A pile of skeletons blocks the only path that isn't slippery. Look like kobolds or orcs. He Who was Not A Twin must have needed to defend the place a few times.

2) A pile of rocks and 4 stalagmites block access to as chest. How a chest be this close to the entrance and not be opened and whatever is in it stolen ?

Wide steps lead downwards to room 5. A stone door has to be opened for the other stairs down to room 3.

3) A pile of rocks. Did they just move ? Five stalagmites block the path to a broken wood door down to room 7. Stone door leads down to room 4.

4) chest and a large open pit. Does the pit drop characters down to room 4B ? Or not ? Could it be an illusion ?

4B ) A small room with various bones and skeletons. No exit unless someone has a grapnel hook on a rope.

5) Two bookshelves, mostly empty. Two chests. A cage. Two open pit traps. Two piles of rock, with another pile stacked in front of the wooden door. Moving the third pile in front of the door causes the door to scream softly. Open stairs, no rails nor walls, leads down to room 6. A wooden door leads down to some wobbly wood stairs and touches the stairs between room 3 and room 7. These wooden stairs may or may not be connected to anything.

6 ) A wood table with a small wood box on it. Three piles of bones. One of the piles squeaks when touched or moved. Four piles of rocks. A big open pit.

No obvious levers to get the portcullis out of the path.

The wood stairs up to the top of the wall piece radiate magic. Nothing there.

Stone door leads to stairs down to room 21.

24 ) An evil temple at location 24. A coffin, a knight's burial. The doorway has the ability to block Good from entering.

30 ) A small stone area and walkway. The path leads up to room 29. The other to room 24.

I decided to move the room numbers out of the rooms. Not a good idea to give the players an idea where their characters are located precisely.

Only had to move one room number slightly on this one.

I was looking at the two hemisphere maps and decided to make some area maps in the Northern Hemisphere.

I made one, the one below, and then noticed that most of the maps for the continent Darshan, had no affects on them. So I added them to several of those maps.

The black line is a border, mostly friendly to each other... however, someone has been going back in forth across the border and apparently trying to stir things up... but no fatalities. But note there are no roads crossing the border, they may be off the map.

An arrow fired at an empty hut, carts turned over... and foot prints of goblins and orcs... but wooden feet have been found that seem to have been used to make the suspicious footprints.

I probably wont elaborate further.

This is the map from the pdf, number 33. I'll post my preliminary map I made.

What I find amazing, I didn't know there were such long bridges in the game.

My interpretation.

I added some cities with different size text. Upper right size 10. Center 4.2. Lower left 7.0.

Here are the updates. I changed the line style to solid, and the fill style to cd3b cobble brown 1.

I know its different than you suggested Remy, but I wanted to try this.

Added Annual Temple of Bones items in location 24. All and the new bits. Location 23 and 24 will be connected.

I've been thinking. ( Uh oh ! )

Anyway, I'm a terrible artist, but I might be able to sketch something for this dragon dungeon. I mean, what the characters would see by torchlight.

Why am I posting this ? To encounrage myself to make the attempt. No idea what I'll do... we shall see.
