Hexatomb

Added 2025-07-16 13:52:16 +0000 UTC

Outside of the City of Copper Bowls, at the border between the farmlands that support it and the badlands beyond, is the Hexatomb – an old burial site that is the source of ghost stories more than anything else anymore. Inside, it shows signs of having been used for small illicit parties, as a goat shed during bad weather, and at some point, an archery range had been set up here, shooting at the central statue.

Signs of foot traffic in and out of the tomb seem a little too frequent and a little too recent when compared to the interior. Secretive survivors of the purging of the Heretics of Zhole have found the secret back chambers of this tomb and use them to meet each other and to conceal the Zhole-blessed – a priest who has been changed by Zhole in its image. The Zhole-blessed’s head is now a cube of blue crystalline material with a soft glow. The rest of the blessed’s body has also begun mutating, and they now stand roughly nine feet tall.

The hexagonal chamber at the south end of the map is a two-tiered room. The lower tier (reached through the door on the north side) is two flights of stairs below the height of the upper (southern) tier. The chamber attached to the upper tier is the home of the Zhole-blessed, with the other survivors of the purge generally still living in town in secret and only coming out here once a fortnight.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 6,600 x 10,200 pixels (22 x 34 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10′ squares) – so resizing it to either 1,540 x 2,380 or 3,080 x 4,760, respectively.
