Drowned Caverns (Patreon)

Hi all!

Gonna go ahead and bookend September with the counterpart dungeon map to the Upper Caves released at the beginning of the month: the Drowned Caverns! As you'll see in the first post, this is a re-envisioning of one of the dungeons from an original 2E AD&D adventure module, Evil Tide. While the Upper Caves is the immediately accessible section, the fissure in the southeastern corner of it leads to the fissure entrance featured here at the top of the map. I'll also go ahead and link to the adventure on DMsGuild and the 5E conversion module. I suppose you all will now get even more value from the text with both of the adventure's maps completely updated!

In addition to the version featured above you'll find the standard variations of no grid, labels (I've even included a blank version w/o the module-specific bits if you'd like an empty template), as well as a color variant of the whole map since the colors here (while true to the original) don't necessarily indicate its underwater nature all that well. Lastly, there are some interesting environmental mechanics related to the magma chamber running near to the last area of the dungeon, so I went ahead and made a DM reference to easily track which parts of the dungeon become progressively hotter.

Enjoy!
