Killbow Ridge

Tonight versatility is key and we have two such maps of killbow ridge which enables the map to be used in Soulbound, D&D or another TTRPG. The Kruelboyz love to bring the mists and environment to play and this week we have that in spades. Mist, check, height advantage, check, cover, check, ambush, maybe check… Regardless of what sinister planning I have in store for this adventure let’s grab a coffee, sit back and roll on into another night at the tabletop.

Killbow Ridge – Gridless – created in Inkarnate

Created for zones or the GM that doesn’t like grid on their maps the one shows the low hanging mist across the ridge. The bottom floor is a far ways down and to fall would mean certain death, unless you can fly. the ladders are rickety and work, the trees and large rocks provide some cover but its a hard adventure for the melee inclined. That is until we bring the good fight to them.


Killbow Ridge – Created in Inkarnate

Some GMs like grids. This makes measuring distance a lot easier and this one is fairly big. essentially 200ft wide by 150ft tall this is a large area that provides people with more options than just “run and cut”. There is more emphasis on movement, careful planning and cunning rather than just slash and smash.

Thoughts

The perfect battlefield for large ballista’s, some orruks and hobgrots as well as the finale of this part of the story – the Boss and Vulcha. The rickety bridges give the opportunity for dexterity based checks to avoid falling through and down. The mist and trees provide a chance to sneak up or the rocky pillars provide an opportunity to climb. There is a lot that can be done with this area wither its in Soulbound or another TTRPG.

Soulbound Zones may be harder to see here but we have one or two zones before we get to the pillars. The area around the road and the area past the ladders and under/around the pillars. Then each pillar can be another zone as moving along the pillars would be treacherous. Special rules about shooting up to the pillars can be established with each pillar being about .5 zone higher than the previous. So the first pillar (from the right) would be 1.5 zones from the ground, the second 3 and the last 4.5 (Rounding up to 2, 3 and 5).


I hope you like tonight’s map. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed toying with the layers to give the illusion of height on a 2d image. Tomorrow night I will cover the creatures in more detail so I hope that I can do them justice. So as I prepare for the end of my day, I hope to grant yourself rerolls on your saving throws this weekend. The weeks are long and hard and we can all need a bit of time to relax. So I hope you spend some time on your tabletop this weekend and, perhaps, give one of my adventures a go,
