Give your players the shaft... With the Circle of Doom!
I keep wanting to post this map and then don’t do it because I want to stock it first. But I never actually get around to stocking it. I’ve USED it three times now in my games, but always stocking it “on the fly” using random stocking from the various rules we were playing with at the time. Thus, to celebrate Canada Day, I’m finally going to post it here and see if anyone else can do a decent job of turning this map into the awesome it deserves to be.
The map itself is centred around a massive shaft some 70 feet across spanned by four bridges on four different levels. I’ve run it as a rapid delve through four dungeon levels using level-appropriate encounters at each level (appropriate to the dungeon level, not the character level). In other words, it quickly goes from a team of halflings at the beginning to 8 hungry trolls guarding the exit.
