Ice Cave

Entrance lower left. Inspection of the cliffs by a character with mining skills like a dwarf will notice they look artificial. Some brush that can live in ice conditions, rock debris, sand areas, a broken bridge across the ice filled river. Water flow is lower right to upper left. Two cold water sharks have just arrived, looking for food.

A broken small keep at the top of the map.

Lava river

Entrance upper right. Looks like a stone bridge crossed the lava flow at one time. Three broken keeps.

Wood and rock debris. No sign of treasure.

I think all I have left is the strip map from the exit hill down to Dungeon of Confusion, middle level.

Monolith Hills.

600 feet wide. small hills near the monolith, escape route from the Dungeon of Confusion. I'll be making some linear maps for here to the upper level of the Dungeon like I did for the paths to the Cold Keep and Flame Keep.

From the outside, there is a secret door leading into the tunnel. From the tunnel, there is a metal push plate to push on to exit.

The user can just pick a hill for the tunnel to be in. Not too sure on the path color. I couldn't figure out effects so it showed up, and looked good.

I decided to post what I have, and the updated map.

Underground path from the Monolith Hills,

to the Dungeon of Confusion.

Surface, the butte marked has a secret door on the southeast side.

It opens into a room with a tunnel on one side going down into the ground.

Left side:

Widens as it goes.

The first greenish marker has a sign that reads 'Beware ! Doom Looms !'.

While the path is smooth, the rest of the tunnel has rough areas and some loose rocks.

The next encounter is a building made of stone. Sign on it says 'Way point'. As you approach, ypu see no one, but your characters hear whispers. They stop as you get closer.

Looking the building over you see it is nothing more than a stone slab about 3 feet/ 1 meter thick, with butress like stone on the back of it. All one piece. Looking carefully, you notice outlines that look like they could have been people. Too indistinct to determine who; humans, elves, etc.

The path branches.

Left side, left branch:

Goes past a mud pit that bubbles. The path goes deeper into the ground. It is now 21 feet, 7 meters wide.

The second info point: A sign says 'Are you sure you want to take this path ?'.

The path continues as you reach the right side of the map.

Left side, right branch.

You find a ruined keep. Well, a carving in the rock that looks like the outline of a ruined keep.

Standing on it portals the characters, no error no injury, to the ruined keep on the right side.

Right side:

I'll continue on another day.

I'm logging off the Internet, bye for now.

Cutaway of the mesa where the escape tunnel from Dungeon of Confusion comes to the surface.

Ice Cave 495' x 400'

Entrance lower left. Inspection of the cliffs by a character with mining skills like a dwarf will notice they look artificial. Some brush that can live in ice conditions, rock debris, sand areas, a broken bridge across the ice filled river.

A broken small keep at the top of the map.

All done. I think. Please let me know of any corrections.

Here is the continent. I'll go over the color choices for the contours.

And here it is.

Path Cold Keep to Dungeon of Confusion

map: path_cold_keep_to_confusion.fcw

The farther the characters get away from Cold Keep, the warmer the air.

Path Cold Keep to Dungeon of Confusion

Exit from Cold Keep basement narrow corridor to this map.

Left side:

Ice lakes to the sides of the path.

First Tower: all the characters see is a group of rocks that could have been stone walls.

Second Tower: stone works, but wobbling shadows.

Third Tower: glows green

Way Point: some broken rocks that if put back together form a hand.

Right Side:

Sign post: Warm Yet ?

Blue area, murky water, could be deadly to drink or wash with

Way Point: A doorway in stone. Nothing else there.

Greenish area, smell likes something is rotting.

I need a rest.
