Old Tower. Set back from the street and largely forgotten by those who pass it by. The city has risen up around it and it has fallen into disrepair - although it was recently purchased, and who knows what players might find inside...
Map Notes. This map was a nice one to follow up the behemoth that was Mistshore - fairly small and nothing too crazy. A few mapping considerations to discuss. Firstly, there was nothing in the source book about how it was situated on the site - so I chose to set it back from the street a little, with a small building partially obscuring it (further adding to the mystery of what lies within. The main floor has spiral staircases leading up and down - note that the stair to the cellar wraps a full 180 around the tower before reaching the lower level.
Mapping wise I left the rooms fairly empty as it is abandoned after all. I tried some new textured overlays (found in the assets for Mapmaker+ patrons) to add mud and grime to the floor as that was mentioned in the book. Other wise (SPOILER ALERT FOR PLAYERS: STOP READING NOW) the only big change for the summer variant was the adding the staircase leading down from 05 to the vault.
A couple other notes:
as the cellar is underground there aren't day/night versions for that level - you can use Lvl0 map regardless of what time of day your players are using and as such I only exported it once.
I added a roof .png image to the foundry folder if you want to add a roof to the building (unfortunately in other seasons it won't have weather effects layered over it) but should work well in summer.
Files.
