Index Card Dungeon – Temple 1
🕑 Added 2023-10-30 13:58:35 +0000 UTCDown beyond the flooded shallows of the Index Card Dungeon is the Temple of the Dark Rites - home to a small clan of degenerate elves who were once the masters of the few morlocks that survive in the shallows. The elves live in perpetual darkness and self-denial, consuming only food and water summoned magically from other realms. They no longer remember the names of those they pay lip service to, just that there are rites that must be performed in specific ways to appease the dark lords that sealed them down here unknown ages ago.
Sometimes the shallows fill up with water faster than they can drain via the cracks in the stone basin of the caves, and the temple has been flooded in this manner a few times - including recently enough that the lower section of tombs remains flooded with a few feet of brackish water. In these tombs is a secret door that leads deeper - and while the elves are aware of it, they have a taboo that strictly denies them opening it or even discussing it. Should it be found and forced open, they would not pursue or even acknowledge anyone beyond the portal.
This is the last of ten index card-sized dungeon maps that all connect together. Each is designed to fit on a traditional 3 x 5 index card (at six squares per inch), and you can write up any notes about the level on the reverse of the card. The first five maps were posted last month, and the last five were posted this month.
The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 9,000 pixels (30 squares) wide. To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10′ squares) – so resizing it to either 2,100 pixels wide or 4,200 pixels wide, respectively.
