The Beast of Nebelheim - Encounter Map

[Sagenlicht]

Well actually this is close to ressurecting a dead map

I posted in this threat my first battlemap I did in GIMP.

It was pretty much finished back then and as I used it for my gaming group pretty much directly afterwards I didnt repost it here.

Now, I did change the thing loydb mentioned and changed the coloring of the book on the left a bit. Why? Cause I hope I may add this map to GP's print store and donating the money if it gets sold to CG. The only problem is, that I actually never checked if I can use the Dundjinni items for commercial purpose as I never thought I will sell any of my maps. Thats what I have to check now

Anyways, here is the full-sized encounter map of the first boss fight of my new 4e D&D Campaign.

A few words about the story behind it:

The heroes did track down a beast that did kill a few farmers around the village of Nebelheim, frightening everyone else and the farmers now refused to bring in the harvest.

As the heroes entered the grotto, they actually found the beast surrounded by a few corpses. After they did slay the beast, they found out that the dead guys were dabling with dark magic they obviosly didnt understand.

Maybe as a sidenote: Magic is close to completly unknown in this campaign.
