Elegant Courtyard

Added 2018-12-07 16:23:36 +0000 UTC

Hey there everyone, this week's map is the Elegant Courtyard (20x20)! Now, before you burn me at the stake, yes this was listed in the poll as the Castle Courtyard, but I believe I pivoted for good reason: I didn't want the presence of a castle to limit the usefulness of the map. As it is, this map can be used in more situations than if it was set inside the walls of a castle, such as in a classy park or on the grounds of a manor. It's a different palette than my usual map as well, so all in all this is a somewhat interesting one, but stop by the Adept post if you're interested in a version of this map with a palette that's more typical for me.

As for encounters you could have in this map, In my mind I thought this would be an excellent place to fight those statues placed around the map, probably as guardians against uninvited guests, but I'm you sure couldn't justify just about any enemy here. I keep imagining a battle here against a group of raiders, but I'm not sure how I would put it together, maybe the center has been barricaded and a small force is holding out and needs your help? It would need some setup but it sounds like a good time to me, diving through hedges and taking cover behind a statue.
