Tavlinda's Glade (Patreon)

Hello all!

For the first battle map of this month I bring you Tavlinda's Glade, another map in my recent line of 'widely applicable, but still containing interesting story seeds' (I need a better title I think).

As I consider what are commonly found story points that DMs might need to build an encounter around, it seemed like an interaction with a fey creature might be right up that alley. So while I have included a version of the above map without Tavlinda's 'well' in the center as simply a nice looking forest battle map, I did specifically design this one for a scene where your players might have to negotiate with a moody dryad or placate a irritable pack of pixies. 

In this case (I haven't actually ran this for players myself yet), I imagine Tavlinda as a specific fey creature that has a bit of a reputation among certain locals in this part of the countryside and when she does choose to be available to visitors, the pool of water in the center of her small isle will glow with fey magic as she emerges, perching upon the rocks covered in the fine rug featured. 

Whether your players may have a bone to pick with Tavlinda or are instead beseeching her aid in the surrounding forest, or simply just wanted another forest battle map to add to your collection then I hope you'll find this one useful!

Enjoy!
