[Extra Map] The Hidden Shrine

Added 2016-03-29 09:35:25 +0000 UTC

Here's a quick freebie map and the original idea was by Paul Sanders (Thank you!), one of my patrons.

What I had in mind with this was a greek-style round temple or shrine, but I wanted to add a little twist to it. I decided to place the shrine into a recess on the side of a mountain or a large rock. Actually I drew there a little extra recess by accident and decided to make use of it. I added a secret passage there that leads to a small cavern. I wanted to connect the cavern and the shrine and added a trapdoor in the middle of the shrine and a sloping tunnel leading down to the cavern. (oops! It seems that I forgot to add the elevation to cavern. It should be lower than the ground level).

I figured that the trapdoor and the tunnel could be used in some strange ceremonies and there could be some smoke effects involved. When the trapdoor opens, there's a quick poof of thick smoke hiding the trapdoor and the person falling down through it. To others it would just look like there was a sudden cloud of smoke and the person standing in front of the altar disappears with no trace.
