Nice touch with the depth-of-field effect on the balcony.
Not going to be late for the party this time...
...but of course working on it so fast I missed a few things. Just noticed the part about a garden to the east while getting ready to type this up so that'll have to be added in.
Also, the proprietor's quarters were listed both on the first floor on the west side as well as on the second floor with the guest rooms (which it says are accessed from the east, didn't say they had to actually be to the east *shifty glance*) I combined the two of his room into one with another set of stairs connecting them.
Description: After retiring from the adventuring life, Kane Aldana, the self-described "King of Thieves" settled back down in his home town of Lerskeldyn and opened an inn/tavern at the site of the one he used to frequent in his youth. These days he mostly spends his days swapping tales with the current crop of adventurers and ne'er-do-wells, always on the lookout for one last big score.
"Management is not responsible for lost or stolen articles left in rooms"

I love it Vry. Fantastic work and artistry. It looks as though its going to be a tough challenge this month considering where you have set the bar. I look forward to being a spectator for this one (unfortunately due to time constraints). Lovely map.

It will be quite a challenge, this map rules. Thanks, Vry.

Yowza! Now I remember why I don't even try my hand at encounter maps. I'll just slink back to one of those alcoves and hire some thugs to go and beat Vry up. Smokin map.
Oh my word! What a fantastic start! You're gonna have to share some of those textures with us when this is over! - What I can't work out is where did poser come into your workflow?

Fantastic and your usual exceptional quality again. Its already better than my final is likely to achieve.
The FHCO's and I are more than a little leary about strolling into Kane's Place, and the challenge, with flyer's for Hebbie's Ale House in Snapgallows now, at least with your fantastic map we know where all the exits, and windows, are when it comes time to make our hasty escape....Great work.

C'mon Ravs, give me some credit. You know how long I spend preparing my posts. Lets keep the topic on Vry's map. I'm just taking a peek at the competition. For the sake of perspective I like to take a decko at the benchmark before I barrel in. I wont be chicken. I'll be fired with enthusiasm. Its my bread and butter. Man, this post is starting to drag on.
