Free TTRPG Battlemap – Olek’s Vault

Click image to download this free TTRPG battlemap of a Olek’s Vault, then keep scrolling for the detailed adventure prompt written for it ?

The tomb of a great warrior, sealed with an engraved magic puzzle rune. Its iron gates have stood for millennia, while the rest of the temple slowly eroded.

When Olek, a monster slayer – his mind as sharp as his blade – fell during a goblin horde siege, his his followers built this mausoleum to house his remains, and elite arsenal of weapons.

To enter his tomb, you must solve the puzzle sealing the doors. Seven orbs encircle a larger orb – each of the outer orbs glowing different colors, but one, which is only dull grey.

Next to each of the orbs is an engraving of a warrior fighting a specific monster, which seems to correspond to each individual stone coffin’s plaque engravings.

When the coffins are approached, a spirit will appear above them and ask a question about dragons, hydras, werewolves, risen skeletons, trolls or demons, depending on which engraving lies on the plaque. The seventh coffin representing goblins has been destroyed by the oceans waves, and thus it’s seal already broken; hence the gray orb.

You can either solve all the questions (with each correct answer a corresponding orb goes dull gray on the door), or attack and destroy all the guardian spirits; accomplishing the same task, but defiling the sacred place.

Free Multi-Level Battlemap – Port Riverfall

Click image to download this free TTRPG battlemap of a Port Riverfall, then keep scrolling for the detailed adventure prompt written for it ?

You arrive on the docks to the new lands. As you’re leaving however, your eye is caught by a massive metal bound crate that’s being lowered down by a crane to the docks below.

Four men on the docks are guiding it via ropes, while another two operate the crane from above. Two dwarven men standing on the docks are yelling at them to be careful. One’s wearing a leather hat with crocodile teeth stitched in, a large foreign looking rifle siting on his back. While the other, is wearing a robe and monocle.

All of a sudden the rope snaps and the crate plummets twenty feet to the ground, shattering the metal bindings on one side. Everyone is silent for several seconds before the crate begins to shake. The laborers back up slowly before a hulking man-beast bursts forth, yelling in a broken guttural common-giant dialect.

He attacks the crates of cargo in anger and anyone that gets close. During this time the creature yells in his hardly understandable language asking where his mate is. The dwarfs on the other hand are screaming for someone to subdue the creature but not to kill it, that they need it alive!

If you try and talk to the creature he’ll utter words about being ambushed by the dwarfs and other men while with his mate, before he was subdued and put in the crate, that the last thing he saw was his mate lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

If you try and talk with the dwarfs they’ll explain that this man-beast has a rare form of blood that can be used in potions to cure common but deadly diseases, however the blood must be fresh. Regrettably they must take him back to the capital city as a slave to be used for his blood for the rest of his days. The suffering of the many out weigh the suffering of this man-beast, or so they claim.

Free TTRPG Battlemap – Druid’s Abode

Click image to download this free TTRPG battlemap of a Druid’s Abode, then keep scrolling for the detailed adventure prompt written for it ?

You come across two travelers by the roadside, one man is on the ground bed ridden, his face swollen with boils and his skin starting to blacken. The other claims he has been struck down with a strange disease and that they were on their way to see the man of the woods to get his help but the trek has been long and hard, and due to the sick mans condition they can go no further. If you go to the man of the woods home you’ll be attacked by vines as you try and approach. Apparently recently two men were caught trying to steal from him and he does not wish to see any further visitors!

If you make it inside his home he may be able to be reasoned with. He tells you that one of the men broke one of his jars while trying to get away with it, the jar itself containing a viscous poison that he’s been studying that’s been infecting the surrounding woods. He’s close to finding a cure, but why should he give it to you to save the man whom tried to rob him?

In truth the men did try and rob him, however it was for a good reason, or so they believe. Many in their village have been afflicted by the very poison that the druid has been studying and with no other hope they set out to see the man of the woods as they had heard tales of him having potions of magical healing. When he told them he could not help and did not as yet have a cure, the men simply did not believe him. They snuck in during the night, attempting to steal some of the jars but ended up breaking one containing the very poison they were seeking to cure!

Free TTRPG Battlemap – Floating City of Nexus

Click image to download this free TTRPG battlemap of a Floating City of Nexus, then keep scrolling for the detailed adventure prompt written for it.

The area was trapped, rigged with both magical and mechanical defences. We did this because Yaeverna and I became great. As keepers of the Winged Blade, we were sick of running, sick of living in fear. So we made our home in the sky.

We found the flying citadel wholly by chance. It was difficult to enter, and that was when we realised the abandoned city could be our perfect home.

Life was breathed back into it. We cleaned the tavern, stocked it from trips to the outside world, on our griffons. We cooked in the old kitchen, turned the small library into an office, and stored what magical artefacts we found across different rooms.

There was a larger library, where we prayed to our god, and hoarded the many other volumes we discovered throughout the world.

It was our home for nigh 20 years. You were born there, some time after grandfather died, peacefully. He would have loved to meet you.

Why did we leave? Well, we fled. You see, daughter—THEY found us. Asmodeus’s followers. We destroyed what we could, but were lucky to escape with our lives. They came, with their hellhounds, and abominations, and ransacked the place.

Rumour has it they’re still there today. We were fools to leave such artefacts lying about, believing they would be secure. We may have to destroy the Winged Blade. We can’t run forever. I see now the world isn’t safe so long as it exists. And neither are you.

Has the time come to disguise our past, and start again?

When entering the market you pass over the docks and the crashing waves then continue past a small guards office that keeps an eye out for troublemakers and a statue stands over a small fountain, a bowl in it’s hands, coins have been thrown into the fountains waters, presumable because it’s a wishing well of sorts.

The market is coated in warm light from the slowly burning braziers affixed to the stone walls, the smoke drifting up through chimneys carved into the ceilings. Laughter and the playing of small children can be heard within the market above the haggling of their parents with the stall clerks.

Crates and barrels line the walls and colorful fabrics hang above the stalls trying to gain the attention of passersby. Just off the central market sits a small tavern and a storage room that leads deeper underground.

A gravel path leads upwards through the thick forest, a babbling brook running beside it. The path curves around the hillside giving sight to an old portcullis, rusted in places, But jammed shut. On the other side appears to be many sarcophagi, some broken.

Continuing to follow the path to the main gates. Before you stand large iron-bound oaken doors baring entrance into the hillside temple. Once opened, two large stone statues great you, light flicking dimly from a couple wall braziers. Stairs lead higher into the complex taking you past a storage room and what appears to be a small living area and sleeping quarters.

Stairs on either side of the complex lead up right into the bandits fortified hold, they probably didn’t expect you to sneak in via the lower entrance. On this upper ridge lies the ruins of the old temple, the bandits have reinforced the broken walls with a palisade, set up some canvas tents and a small fireplace.

An old overgrown gravel path leads off from the main highway and after a days travel you arrive at this old burial site, it’s caretakers long dead it has been left abandoned and it’s original purpose forgotten. The lush forest has encircled the site, growing over the many tombstones and crumbling cliff side paths.

Passing through the weary and gnarled woodlands, you finally arrive at the temple you have sought, bones and ghastly remains litter the forest floor, increasing in volume as you approach the front gates.

Many stone statues stand watching as the wall mounted torches flicker, igniting the room in a bloody glow. The cultists have outfitted or restored this old temple with living quarters, barracks, sleeping quarters, a library, as well as a cell for prisoners waiting to be sacrificed.

A small set of stairs, barred by a portcullis marks the entrance to the old servants quarters, now made a ramshackle kitchen and storehouse. Although the cultists are unaware the storehouse holds a secret stairwell that allows direct access to the main chamber.

The lower temple consists of sepulcher, marking the graves of long dead elven warriors. Once upon a time this woodland was verdant and beautiful, but no longer. Stairs lead up from the sepulcher, through a basement storeroom full of old wines and ales, then into the main chamber.

A trail of blood leads up the staircase and surrounding a raised platform stands three more statues, holding bowls filled with blood…

I told you you’d break, and you did. But what I forgot to mention, is that time is different here. It’s been 16 years since your elven lover escaped – long enough for her to have birthed your bastard son, and sent his tubby teenage self fleeing with the shattered pieces of the Winged Blade.

This is, of course, after my forces burnt his home to the ground, and he escaped. But, I’m a gambling man. You amuse me. So, tell you what. Let’s make another deal. If you get me the blade, I’ll let you live out the rest of your mortal life, with your son.

Neither of you will see the invasion in your lifetimes. You can live well, and get to know him. And when he grows old, and has children, and your life flickers from one world to the next, then – perhaps – the mortal plane will be destroyed…

A serpentine path leads up out of the cities walls, through the heavy fog and up towards the mountains peak. After ascending a wide stone staircase you finally arrive at the gates of this prison, a place where nobles come to enjoy watching some of societies worst disembowel each other.

It houses adequate living quarters for the guards and caretakers of the prison, several weeks of food stocks, cells for dozens of criminals and it’s pride and joy, the arena.

The arena is connected to three sets of cells, containing prisoners that are expected to fight within the next day. They’re generally set into three distinct “teams” and named after a certain color, such as green, red, and yellow. The prisoners are both expected to work with their partner while fending of attacks from both the other teams, at least if they wish to live.

Over the years the warden has found this set up leads to the most exiting viewing experiences for the nobles.
