Ritual Hill - 6K Grided and gridless (130x173)

Alright ! This one was quite the endeavour. I was inspired by Yester Hill from Curse of Strahd. The original hill is GARGANTUAN (more than 1.500 ft. in diameter, or 500 m.). The original book only has 1 fight on the whole map (with my rework having 3 potential fights on the hill). I wanted to design a map that lets the players do the whole chapter on the same map, without having to switch between encounters. I think it gives a better sense of awe, shows the size of the hill better and is more practical for the DM.

But there was one catch : a 250+ square map would be unusable (and you can't go above 192 on Inkarnate). So, to get a grided version that would work I had to do some maths. Finally, I decided to multiply the scale by 2 for the grid. It works fine in my opinion. For example, the field at the top of the hill is still massive (125 ft instead of the original 250 ft.). If you don't like the liberties I took with the scale, I put both my scale and the original scale on the grided version. (1 square = 5 ft. OR 1 square = 10 ft.)

I hope you like the mood and look of that final version ! Happy druid hunting !
