Not really a catchy-snappy name but a basement in Yole is just what it is, a basement in Yole. This hideout is a staging ground for some of the attacks from the Cult of the Dragonslayer and as such – the party will get to see it this week.
So instead of me giving you a walkthrough of the establishment as if I was a realtor let’s grab a coffee, sit back and roll into tonight’s adventure.
A Basement in Yole
411ThBaYo
Dirty wooden flooring, poor lighting and much more are the hallmarks of most lairs for cults and this week is no exception. With the main room having limited to no lighting and a secret false-wall behind a shelf there is a bit to discover here. Crates and boxes fill one half of the room which are filled with various tools and instruments that are crucial to the plans of the Cult of the Dragonslayer but the small ones are the dangerous ones. Each small box is filled with vials of alchemist fire which, as a volatile liquid goes, will mean that the tinder in this half of the room could be lethal.
The secret door being revealed will show a few chests which are filled with support from members. The cult uses these supplies to fuel their campaign of fear and so they keep them hidden – mostly. The old rugs could hide traps under near – trip wires or bear-like traps would work well in this room however it could just be that they like a bit of luxury near their chests of coin and other wealth.
Not too many overlapping textures this week, about three, but the use of light, shadow and also tints gives the map the desired effect. Having a quick ‘make a clone’ of the map to reveal the secret room is a nice touch something quick and easy that can help describe the scene or show it for the party.
Thanks for joining me tonight for another map night. Nothing too complicated tonight for a nice small map with a bit of complexity. Don’t forget that the remaining nights this week we are expanding this adventure further so make sure to come back for that and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
