The Smuggler's Dungeon
Added 2017-09-29 20:01:05 +0000 UTCI like smugglers. It's an excellent archetype and works well as allies or antagonists for the player characters. So, here's another smuggler themed map. Well, of course it can be used for other purposes too, like as a hidden resistance base, a thieve gangs lair or a base for river bandits.
The river could be an underground river or just a regular river running through a narrow pass. There's a small loading dock for loading and unloading cargo and a cave next to it that is used as a warehouse. Next to the dock there's a chamber with barred cells. I was thinking that these could be used for captured prisoners held for ransom or to be sold as slaves.
The hall filled with large pillars is a space that could be used in various interesting ways. Some ideas I had included:
The four wells in each corner could have different properties. One might be poisonous, one might have healing properties, etc.
The altar on the south wall of the hall has statues on the both sides of the
altar. Taking an idol or other valuable looking item from the altar might awaken the animated statues guarding the altar.
The hall has a creature or creatures guarding it. These might be hounds, a halfwit ogre or a minotaur, for example.
I hope you find this map inspiring and/or useful :)
You can find four versions of this map attached with this post or you can download them HERE.
