Day 9: The Maze #inktober

Another #inktober dungeon map I’m late with, whoops!

This #inktober dungeon map addition see’s us adding a maze element.

Here we’ve added a highly trapped maze to our original entrance stairs.

I wanted to also add a lot of vertical movement too, so there are lots of stairs and passageways passing over and under.

The entrance has been expanded to now include a highly trapped maze

As you can see the maze isn’t obviously on how to pass through without springing a trap.

I like how one of the routes takes you to the lava stream.

I was really happy with how the lava stream worked out in ‘yesterdays’ fire dungeon map, that I carried the stream on further.

Inktober Questions

If you’re in our dice giveaway, or even if you’re not, answer these questions about today’s #inktober:

  • What do the traps set off? Gas cloud? Classic arrow trap? Teleport spell?
  • What should come before the maze?
  • What monster lurks the darkened maze corridors?

  1. Thank you – I am rather happy with how the lava flow turned out.

    I love the idea of teleporting the enemies to other pads. In fact I may use this in an upcoming campaign. Combined with being stalked by multiple gelatinous cube… mwahaha

  2. Hey! The lava flow came out great!

    I think it would be cool if the traps randomly teleported the party member who triggered it to another pad. Then, every time they teleported, a medium-difficult critter appeared in the place they just teleported from. So the party is being pursued while they are trying to reform 😀

    Before the maze should be an encounter with a creature who will either lead them into the maze (“catch me if you can!”) or a creature which will chase them into the maze. Adds a ticking-clock element to the maze puzzle.

    As for the lurking monsters, I’ve always been partial to slow-moving, juggernaut-like creatures… gelatinous cubes and the like.

    Looks great so far. Keep it up!
