Explorative and Battlemaps: The Path to Elradguard

Today I have some exploration and battle maps for the cold north, I'll be fixing that quickly by writing a one shot. These represent parts of the Path to Elradguard within Olvunter, the fortress on the other side of the mountains from the Duchy - but of course they COULD be repurposed for any number of things. I'll write little descriptions, but you know the drill: Shift and change things how you like.

That's why I like these kinds of maps, they're really easy to repurpose. Though, I do wonder where I can improve on them, as I'm always looking to do.

First, the Outpost at the beginning of the path. This was a simple explorative map, a way to bring the players together at the start of the adventure, and to hint at the weather and creatures up ahead:

Next, either going over or around a frozen lake. I would run this either with a creature within the lake itself, which could start looking for them if they touch the ice.

Finally, the end of the path. Here I have some locals who've taken to banditry, the Silver Arrows, who aren't technically evil, but if you won't pay tribute (and lets be real, most folks won't take kindly to being asked to give something up OR ELSE), then an ambush battle begins.

Just like that, I've written the outline for my one shot. Feel free to use the maps of course, they were all made on Inkarnate!

Simple context: There's a sentient(?) boulder rushing through halls filled with doors, trying to squash them. The players have opened like, 12 doors, of the possible 16 in the area.

We hate bouldy, but we love bouldy.

DND?

So much DnD.

Today we begin with La Duca, or Danoran di Viscardi.  He’s the only known progenitor vampire in Olvunter, who in a time of great strife turned away from the promise his family had made to their lands Saint, and made all his officials choose between exile and becoming a vampire as well.  What he didn’t tell them is that they would be bound to his will, and if he died, all of them would too.  

The Kholseer Knights will be facing off against him in our coming session, as we get ever nearer to the end of the By Blackened Blood campaign.  I *really* hope they survive.

Join us on Sunday at 4:00 pm EST over on https://www.twitch.tv/notquiteproficient, or come join our discord to get into one of the upcoming games!
