Venomfang's Tower (Patreon)

Hello people!

For the first map of our fourth year on the patreon I had the inclination to revisit a trend I was practicing at the very beginning of the patreon: creating maps for WotC products. Lost Mine of Phandelver is obviously a pretty widely known, popular adventure for 5E and one that I've found myself falling back on more frequently as of late as I'm introducing new players to D&D. Way back when, I had made maps for a handful of the possible encounters in the adventure (you can download those as well as all of my other WotC content here) and then never came back to it, instead making content for Storm King's Thunder, Curse of Strahd, and Dragon Heist. 

This location here represents one of the foremost (but optional!) combat encounters in the story: the party facing their first dragon. Located in the ruins of Thundertree, I felt that this map would be a nice candidate in that it would be ubiquitous enough to be used in lots of other circumstances, while still justifying its own focus within the adventure. Besides the ruins, forest, and underbrush of the surrounding area this location was also interesting because of the markers of the dragon's recent arrival here: the dead spiders and their webbed furniture within the cottage.

Inside the pack below you'll find the standard variations of the map as it's shown here, but I've also included a version of the same scene without spiders + webbing to make it easier to drop into other situations as needed. Additionally I've provided PNG assets of each of the spiders as well as just the tower itself for using in whatever ways you may imagine. 

I hope you enjoy!
