The Ember Vault was given its name due to the amount of heat that was pulsating through the cavern system and at its core it was found why. Deep underground there is a pit of active lava in an ancient cavern which held the elemental energy of a Efreeti.
So let’s sit back, grab a hot coffee and roll through tonight’s map!

The walls and raised pillars in the centre of the walls are smooth and razor sharp chunks of obsidian. To slip would result in being cut to ribbons before you even hit the rocky-crusted lava twenty feet below. But if you can survive the trek at the end a trapped efreeti waits for those who want to make a deal and receive a wish – but the catch is normally that it will do what ever it wants and grant your wish in a way that you really, really don’t want it.
Many, many textured layers this week to get the right blend of stone, lava rocks and shadows. The asset stamps are quite simple really with six or so in total that blend together to highlight the details in of the texture and other assets. A relatively straight forward map this week but something that I hope poses a challenge and has a lot of visual appeal (despite the lava looking nearly like muscles…)
Thanks for joining me tonight while I tinkered with many, many overlapping textures to get something I was happy with this week. Don’t forget to come back the last few days of the week to keep on top of what’s happening here and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
