Map Set 26 Gold (Meteorite Lake and Underground Swamp)

Here's our newest map set with two new maps (as voted for by the community)!

The first battle map is the Underground Swamp (30x60), with a small mushroom farm and some steam vents creating some hot springs as well. Travelers to this cave can be met with hostility if they try to steal any of the valuable mushrooms from the farmers, but if they come in peace they can trade for the mushrooms themselves or any of the concoctions the farmers produce. A variety of potions and ointments are available as well as mushroom bread (a little dense and spongey but flavorful).

Encounter Ideas:

• Fertile Ground: Some nearby farmers have tasked the adventurers with covertly obtaining soil samples from the underground mushroom farm.
• Soothing Waters: An elderly man believes the hot springs within the swamp cave have curative properties. He's asked the players to escort him to the waters and keep any creatures at bay while he soaks.
• Missing Mushrooms: The chef of a prestigious restaurant has noticed the mushroom farmers missed their last couple deliveries and fears the worst. She's asked the adventurers to check in and make sure nothing untoward has happened to them.

The second map is Meteorite Lake (50x50). This crater was formed as the result of a meteor strike eons ago, long before recorded memory. As time passed it slowly filled with rainwater creating the lake we see today. Scholars are unsure if the ruins predate the meteorite or if they were built after the impact. Perhaps they're the remnants of an old civilization that angered the gods, or they might've been parts of a temple built to worship the still-glowing rock.

Encounter Ideas:

• Archeologists Expedition: Historians from a nearby settlement are interested in finding out more about the meteorite. Escort an archeologist to the lake and clear out any hazards that might prevent her from doing her job.
• Mysterious Sightings: Cryptozoologists have reported spotting a strange amphibian creature -- of possibly alien origin -- in the lake but have been unable to capture it. They're willing to pay a hefty sum to any adventurers able to take the beast alive and bring it to them.
• Valuable Materials: A local lord has asked the blacksmith to forge a sword of unique quality for his son's upcoming birthday. The blacksmith has tasked the party with obtaining some ore from the meteorite with which to forge the sword, but he warns that it is fiercely defended by a cult of star worshippers.
