Lava Lake, Expert (Patreon)

Hi again, folks! This week's map is the Lava Lake (35x25), another basic volcano map with a much greater emphasis on lava than the previous few. This time the combat flow will be very different, as your players will need to jump and hop between a series of crumbly rock platforms in order to traverse the lake- and I'd bet that any local monsters they might encounter here won't have nearly as hard of a time moving about. Sounds tricky, I might be a little nervous for my character's life if I had to fight here!

Your alternate versions of this map are Grim and Sky! The Grim one features less colorful lighting, leaning more towards bleaker and ominous colors- perfect for gloomier campaigns and battles where a more vibrant palette might give your players the wrong idea that this isn't a terribly dangerous combat. The Sky version is a variant where I've made some serious changes, cutting the platforms on the edge of the map, recoloring the rocks, and replacing the lava with a cloudy sky texture, giving the impression that these floating rocks are even above the clouds. Frankly, I don't know why or how they even got here, but now if your players ever find themselves in a situation like this you'll be ready with the perfect battlemap.
