Map Set 31 Gold (Academy Zoo and Homestead Isle)

Here's our newest map set with 2 new maps!

The first is Academy Zoo (36x54), a research and holding facility for studying a variety of species from across the multiverse. Visitors are invited to observe the creatures housed within, and a lucky few may even be allowed to interact with the less dangerous species while observing the proper safety protocols, of course. Student's who specialize in biological studies are conveniently allowed to stay in the minimal dorms located on-site to facilitate their research. The most dangerous or delicate creatures are held in the segmented northern enclosures while the southern park holds a variety of free-roaming creatures that have demonstrated a knack for cohabitation.

Encounter Ideas:

• The Golden Fox - A rare species of fox has escaped from its enclosure but is still suspected to be hiding somewhere within the zoo. Search the facility to find it, even the enclosures containing dangerous species if necessary.
• Overdue Book - The academy librarian needs help retrieving an overdue book called "Swamp Predator Petting Guide" from one of the biology students studying at the zoo. The student, however, hasn't been seen in days and the book isn't with her belongings.
• Feeding Time - A few mysterious creatures have been introduced to the zoo but the zookeepers aren't sure what they eat. Nothing at the facility has satisfied them thus far, maybe some more travelled adventuring types could help figure it out?

The second map is Homestead Isle (45x60), a makeshift island that started with a meager merchant vessel that gradually grew as floating platforms were lashed together and larger buildings were built atop. There are a couple houses for living quarters, a scrivener's, a boatwright, and a brewery, as well as a few outbuildings for storage. A small chapel invites parishioners from the mainland to weekly services. The islanders are welcoming to visitors and enjoy hosting folks who have a good story or two to share.

Encounter Ideas:

• Fishmen Invasion - At night while visiting the isle strange noises like wet footsteps can be heard outside. A school of fishmen have come aboard to steal whatever they can carry back to their underwater caves.
• Cursed Crops - A sort of rot has infested the crops on the isle and the residents need help figuring out what caused it. They believe it could be magical in nature.
• Troubled Waters - A massive sea beast has been spotted nearby and the islanders fear it might be big enough to destroy their homes. They need some brave adventurers to convince it that approaching the isle would be a bad idea.

I'll post the next map prompts post later today and the poll for it tomorrow. Thanks for your support!
