Has anybody seen this incredible apparently ongoing underdark map on the Paratime Design website?

Dyson Logos is usually the go to name on free maps to use (deservedly), but Paratime is no slouch. I don't hear a lot of people talking about his(?) maps.

The Halls of Lost Heroes by Dyson Logos

This old tomb in the Ghost Hills Range was long ago buried when the main entrance collapsed. In more recent times, the side of the hill has slid away in a series of small landslides that breached one of the tombs. From there, the portal to the tomb was broken open, and the entire complex was opened to invaders and treasure hunters. The structures on the right were the mausoleum, with grand pillared halls, raised daises for sarcophagi, and a grand dais in the largest room where the body of some major chieftain or noble was laid to rest. South of (and below) the circular tomb that has become the entrance to the halls are the deeper sepulchres – and finally a very well-looted and slowly collapsing treasure chamber at the bottom. Bringing adventurers to this site are the many inscriptions on the walls and crypts – many have survived the ages and the depredations of treasure hunters and contain notes on lineages and land ownership and a lot of other boring stuff (“Seriously, tax laws? This guy was sealed in a tomb decorated with TAX LAWS? No wonder he’s dead!”) – but in the mix are nonsense words and odd references to names of people or items – command words for lost artifacts, passwords for magical seals, and perhaps even the true names of ancient spirits and demons enslaved to the mountain tribes.

i’ve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise

Entrance to Explictica Defilus' Lair

Was experimenting with showing light levels on the map, which ended up not coming into play, and was more work than it was worth. This was when I was trying to make a map for every encounter, which ended up being waaaay too much pressure.

Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂

Here is the result:

Holm nation... I have a heartbreaking announcement to make.

We didn't get to see this panels animated.

(I wanted to see Laios helping him, this one isn't the one this post is all about)

I feel it's important to his character enough that Kui decided to dedicate three panels about how he aproaches and resurrects Kabru.

He is used to resurrecting people, his party sucks at keeping themselves alive. He walks up to Kabru's corpse with a worried look on his face. Then he kneels besides him and takes a second to process what he is seeing. He is seeing a young man, Kabru, dead. It makes him feel unseasy, a bit of shock that he can't take the luxury of process at the moment. He doesn't want to look, so he closes his eyes and focuses on his spell. He is realizing he is the only one alive from his party (he doesn't know where Mick is or how he is). He is the last one standing. The reality of it all slaps him in the face.

The panel of him just... looking at the mess Kabru's corpse is was just... It was important. It talked about him as a character. "I'm not doing this because I want to, but because I have to". He doesn't has time for emotions. He has a job to do.

It's just three panels. But they provide lots of context between the ones that came before and after.

He doesn't just rubs Kabru's head because he's being afective. He does it because he cares. He does it out of relief. "As long as I'm here, any of you'll be dying soon. And I'll always be here. Don't worry." He is far from being OK after all this. Marillier died, Daya died, Kuro died, Kabru died, Rin died, Mick probably died too (but he doesn't saw it). He... By the time he was the only one standing, the fight was over, and he could alredy resurrect them. He wants to feel sad. To worry, to be concerned, to mourn. But he can't. It isn't necessary.

He is a cleric. He for sure has a notion of dead way different than anyone and feels a certain way about resurrection. "Dying is dying, even if you resurrect." It's a bug at the corner of his mind, he doesn't pay it any attention. He gets resurrected multiple times, he is gratefull he is alive. But seeing all his friends dead? And the most of them mutilated? Covered in their own blood? He has this desire to mourn. To cry the loss. To panic. "They are all dead."

He knows they'll come back. He has to make them come back. So he does. And they are alive. But they weren't a few seconds ago. And he just plays it off, he puts his calm face on as soon as there is another party member alive that could ask him what happened that it disturbed him so much. He throws all those sad feelings under the rug and focuses at the task at hand.

They're going to be ok, he just has to do his job: bring them back from death. They shouldn't even be dead. But they are. And he's going to fix it. No point on feeling sad about them dying if they can be alive soon!

I think the concern that the anime puts here it's something that could come close to what he feels inside. Those seconds are the only ones we see him looking something akin to worried for his friends.

But then...

His worry vanishes in seconds. The moment Kabru revives, he does it in such a "Kabru" way, that he tells himself: "This is fine, they're going to be back soon, nothing to worry about, I just have to hurry". He wants them all back to live. We know for sure that in his priority list there wasn't any "reviving Toshiro's party members first". He was going to make sure all his party, all his friends, were alive before even thinking of resurrecting other people if he still had the magic.

Those three panels they didn't animate are something that was there for a reason. To give depth to Holm. This last episode is definitely the one in wich he shines the most. He isn't the main character at all this episode, but he does the most important stuff on the background. He revives them all. This all lack of something if you don't show what Kuy drew on those panels.

Here he just... goes to work. He says: "lemme handle it" and he does. No concern, no worry, no, nothing. He just does. No thoughts.

It makes me sad. Those panels were important. :(

Vampire Mansion

Veiled in perpetual dusk, the manor stands in eerie silence, its towering spires piercing the storm-laden sky. Within its shadowed halls, chandeliers burn with an unnatural glow, illuminating nobles who never age, their crimson smiles hinting at the hunger lurking beneath their whispered invitations.
