The Deep Spire: 4th Level
🕑 Added 2021-02-23 02:37:24 +0000 UTCHigher and higher we go! I usually crop my maps closer to the edges, but I want to leave in all of the background so you can see the lower levels spiraling below. It should be fine, since this is only 44x43 anyway, which is fairly small as my maps go.
This level of the Deep Spire is predominantly inhabited by deep gnomes and has a gemcutter's workshop, a tinkerer and the spire's second tavern, where the locals drink. The tavern is hidden away from the main walkway in order to keep the visiting sailors from finding the place.
There's also has a big, open plaza, which is a good spot for an encounter that requires a little more space than you'd find in most of the spire. And it's still located conveniently close to the edge, meaning your players can chuck the enemies over the side. Or, if your players are being all "Phoenix Wright, Rules Attorney," you can have the enemies chuck them over the side. Plenty of exciting possibilities.
The next level will be the drow neighborhood, which will have, among other things, the estate of a drow noble house living in exile. The last level will begin with a gatehouse, which guards the barracks on the other side and the citadel beyond that. I'll probably just make the 6th level and the citadel one single map, so there will be two more to go.
Well, despite my repeated requests, this map refuses to draw itself, so I'd better get back to it!
