Flourishing stalks tower overhead along a bamboo forest path. What lies in wait down this path? A worn-down shrine? Troublesome rabbits? A river of gore? Let’s hope it’s not that last one.
This is the inaugural map for DnDungeon Maps! That is, it’s the first I created chronologically. My players had an encounter a few months ago in a dense thicket like this and I would have killed to have this map around. But I am no time-traveler. Hopefully I got here in time for you, though.
Thoughts
The bamboo whispers to passerbys the spoken words of past travelers.
Two ghostly warriors make havoc without regard for the living unlucky enough to be there for it.
The ancient, inhuman caretaker has just lost her most important spiritual prisoner.
