Taverns Release 01 | Vampire Hunters - Coffin Shop

Hey all!

We're here with our first bunch of Taverns maps, and the first release of Vampire Hunters content for the month. Let's get stuck in!

To avoid repetition, all of the maps in today's post use the Levels and Better Roofs modules, and are included as isolated prefab buildings using Token Attacher so you can place them on any background you like! All maps come with a day and night variant.

The MAD Cartographer - Taverns

Vintner's Delight

This misleading building is designed to look like a warehouse or barn to distract from its true purpose - a secretive brandy lounge for distinguished members who are invited by an existing member. Patrons enter via a service door directly onto the wooden mezzanine, and have to descend down into the lounge proper. 

A small kitchen provides lunch, whilst political or industrial scandal can be discussed in front of the roaring hearth. In the corner, an enchanted automaton plays music to the lounge.

The Scarlet Shield

Tucked away in one of the more rough-and-tumble parts of town, The Scarlet Shield is owned by a retired city guard who spend decades patrolling his beat in this part of town. Known and beloved by the locals for his fair judgement, he's now known for fair prices and a trouble-free bar. 

The Scarlet Shield offers several modest rooms, a gently-illuminated outdoor seating area, and the relative security of having many off-duty guards drinking in the bar. An ideal inn for a fledgling adventuring party!

The Wild Wood Inn

In a deep part of the forest, near the limits of where explorers and rangers tread, a surprisingly large and busy establishment can be found. The Wild Wood Inn is in truth more of a night club, raucous music, endless dancing, and the suggestion of other entertainments advertised by gaudy posters and whispers from attendants. Those wanting a breath of fresh air can found a garden at the center of the Inn. 

Foundry users absolutely need to check this map out to appreciate the animated lights and music of the 70's style disco dancefloor!

The gallery has been updated with this content, as well as pCloud, which you can access through your Theme Master List and the Foundry VTT module is updated and ready to be downloaded.

The Vampire Hunters

Coffin Shop

A drab and neglected looking building tucked between larger homes on one of the main thoroughfares of Vallaki, the coffin shop is a sad necessity in Barovia, that sees more work than it should.

Many adventurers may find their way here, whether they're following their divine senses in search of undead, or chasing down the missing bones of Saint Markovia. Likewise, many adventures end prematurely in this dusty house, as smuggled Vampire Spawn emerge from the coffins to attack.

Our Coffin Shop map offers a two-floor building utilising the Levels and Better Roofs modules. Using active tiles, Foundry DMs are able to trigger a button that will have 6 of the coffins smash open on the map (complete with revealing a hidden broken coffins tile, and playing the sound of splintering smashing wood), ready for you to reveal the Vampire Spawn tokens to attack your players.

This map is perfect for showing your players just how deadly vampire spawn can be when they're organised, in a large group, and not living in their parent's basement.

That's all for today's post. We're really excited to show you the other taverns we're working on. The next Vampire Hunters update also includes a supplementary encounter with every Barovian's favourite eclectic toy-maker!

Until then...

Keep Rollin' those 20's, folks!
