Sneak Peek | CoS: Reloaded | Bodak Lair
Added 2025-02-06 18:00:03 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone, and happy Sneak Peek Thursday! Keeping with the chilly theme from last week, the next map will be the Bodak Lair in the Tsolenka Pass as outlined in the popular module CoS: Reloaded by DragnaCarta.
You can read all the details about this really fun encounter here.
The map will include a large 60x40 cave nestled off a dangerous, snow-covered mountain path. If your party is seeking refuge from the harsh snow and blizzards, this is a great place to camp for the night... or is it?
I'll have the full map release ready by Monday!
Cheers,
DM Andy

I cranked up the blues and whites to create a sense of cold and frost and I even adjusted the noise reduction to make everything feel soft, as if covered in ice. You'll find a few rooms like the cave entrance, where the shaft leads up to the ice cave, and the amber shard room covered in ice with ice crystals rising from the floor instead of stalagmites, so I think you'll be happy! Lastly, I did want to create a separation between this and the Ice Cave which I'll be doing next in this series so both maps felt a little different. The Ice Cave will have icy and frozen floors for sure :)

2025-02-06 18:57:49 +0000 UTCHey Andy, this looks great already! What do you think about making it more icy and less rocky? I feel it would add to the atmosphere to have a completely frozen environment up there. But maybe you have also good reasons to keep it rockier. Or maybe an idea for a second version? Canβt wait to see the final thing! Keep up the beautiful work.

2025-02-06 18:12:33 +0000 UTCAwesome!! It'll be a pretty large map as I wanted lots of twists and turns for the players to get hunted by the Bodaks in! I'll be working through all of Arc R and next in this project will be the Ice Cave.
