Hello Travellers!

Atop a mountain overlooking the nearby town sits the imposing tower of the Wizard Dresden. Although generally cold and unwelcoming, Dresden is well liked by the locals as he has been known to help them out on occasion when other avenues have failed. If the party really needs assistance, he may be open to hearing them out.

Nearing the top of the steep climb, a signpost stands by a bench and brazier. The message reads 'Please do not disturb. I am very busy.' Once the party have disregarded this message they will be greeted at the door by Dresden's assistant, a young female gnome by the name of Folxi. She looks terrified, but is very pleased to see the guests, ushering them in before they have a chance to introduce themselves. The wizard himself is slumped in a nearby armchair, clearly focussing on something intently, and does not immediately notice the newcomers.

It transpires that Dresden has been attempting to open a permanent  gateway between the material realm and the other neighbouring planes, but his attempts have gone awry and he has lost control of the portal. Beasts, creatures and possibly demons have started finding their way in and Folxi pleads with the PCs  to clear them out, floor by floor, and find a way to close the planar doorway. All of Dresden's energy is being spent on keeping the otherworldly beings from escaping the tower's magical barriers, so for the time being they are on their own.

Will the party help the beleaguered pair? Will they discover how Dresden has opened the portal, and more importantly how to close it? And if they are successful, will they wonder exactly why Dresden would court such danger in order to create the gateway? There may be more answers below than above.

Very cool - looks great! If you're looking for any ideas on another variant, this could make a great gothic lighthouse. :)

Hi Sylvan, really glad you like it! My aim is to have 1-2 seasonal variants each month. It just depends how much time I have and when they are appropriate.

I'd really like to see assets included where possible to cover hidden areas so another map is not needed. Perfect example is the basement in this set. Just need a little floor piece to cover the hidden section.

I'd really like for a clean version of this map!
