I think dead orc babies are ( circle one: funny / problematic / ....well, ok, it's complicated because....): depend on the game. It's complicated. Besides, there are no orc babies, they pop out of the mud fully grown.

Touched Up Map

Here is the second map from the previous post retouched.

The water has worn away areas alongside the pool. The other two areas undercut the surface, but are dry. The rivulet running down the middle of the rest of the crevice is bigger or smaller depending on the recent rainfall.

Two Maps

I'm prepping for a new scenario I'm running at U-Con in November in Ypsilanti Michigan. I'm using maps from Dyson's Dodecahedron, as well as general web-discovered floorplans and maps. But there are a few things I need to draw myself.

First is a burrow den. Some critters live here.

This was draw with ball-point pen on standard copy paper. My good mapping pen dried out, and I haven't replaced it yet.

The next map is a crevice down about 20 feet to an area carved out by water. The large oval area is a pool.

This was drawn with a Pilot G-2 05 pen on standard copier paper.
