Roc Attack [60x30 / 30x30] - Multi-leveled phased mid-air battle
🕑 Added 2022-10-12 10:56:59 +0000 UTC
For a moment, the gentle rocking and warm breeze convinced Nathan he was relaxing on a hammock on a golden beach somewhere. But, as his blurred senses started to come back to him, the gentle crash of waves condensed into screams and heavy smashes. Snapping awake, he went to push off the ground but his hand found nothing and, tumbling onto his front, he was hit with a wave of nausea. Looking through the wooden bars he was lying on, he saw the countryside hundreds of meters below. Nathan lurched to his feet and realised he was standing on the railings of the front porch, and that the house must be completely on it's side. Looking up, sure enough, there was the front door, right above. Nimbly swinging up through the opening, he arrived just in time to see Ilenia nail an armed Aarakocra against the wall with an arrow. She shouted over the rush of the wind that was spilling through a large gap in the wall where the chimney had been: "There's more up top! And they've got a bloody Roc! You alright?". The house shook with the steady beat of the colossal birds wings. "Yeah, I'm fine! But next time, I choose the holiday!"
Welcome adventurers to the Roc Attack!
This is my first ever phased battlemap, which starts with an quaint unsuspecting cabin in the country. It then gets picked up by a Roc, carried up and up, before being yeeted back down to earth!
The pack contains an introductory 60x30 map, containing a little road leading up to the cabin in situe. Then there are Low Altitude and High Altitude backgrounds onto which you can drag and drop 5 different versions of the cabin, each with 3 floors. The idea is that, as the house tumbles onto its various sides, the geography inside changes as floors become walls, doors become ceilings and windows become deadly holes in the floor through which your players can plummet! Finally, there is the cabin crash site map, in case the fight is still going despite hitting the ground at terminal velocity!
The map pack contains 160 different variants(jpgs), 36 interior variants(pngs), 10 Roc assets and some Roc feathers for foreshadowing/looting. Also included is a DM's cheat sheet, to help manage the running of combat across multiple levels, in an ever shifting 3D space, while falling through the sky!
It's been fun working out how to do a multi-stage encounter like this and I hope you guys really enjoy terrifying your players with it. As always, if you've got any feedback on this map or ideas for future maps then feel free to comment, or come join the lovely people on Discord to come hang out.
Much love
Amber
