Longboat Mountain – Red Eagle Dungeons

Beneath Red Eagle Tower on the face of Longboat Mountain are the necessary dungeons for such a structure. These dungeons again show off the red stone of the mountain as the tower above (except the caves where the stone has darkened with age and exposure).

There are three levels to these dungeons, but the bottom level is not known to Galru the Sly, the resident bandit lord and their retinue.

The upper level is the dungeons – starting with the basement of the tower proper that is used for storage of ill-gotten goods and sometimes foodstuffs when they have enough. Stairs lead down a lower basement here, and a passage leads to the dungeons. The dungeons are four “secure” cells cut into the rock, as well as three cage cells with metal bars separating them into individual spaces. If anyone in these cells gets too annoying or loud, they get moves to the stone cells, and if anyone in there really gets on the guards’ nerves, they get moved to the level below.

The middle level is the Oubliettes. A small secondary guardroom sits under the dungeons guard room here, and is connected to five small, rough, stone cells where prisoners can be forgotten and left to rot, fed on occasion when someone remembers to. Down here on the oubliette level is a secret guard room (looted and abandoned) with stairs down to a locked door that is rusted shut on the level below…

The lowest level is a set of caves that open up to a ledge about forty feet above the mountain path that leads up to Red Eagle Tower. While a few of the bandits have tried exploring the small cave outlet, they stopped when they got to the end of the passage that is choked with fallen stone – it takes some dedicated crawling and squirming to get to the damp caves beyond… and anyways, there’s obviously the den of some large animal right before the collapse, and you probably don’t want to be in here when it comes home.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 9,000 x 13,200 pixels in size (30 x 44 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 2,100 x 3,080 or 4,200 x 6,160 pixels, respectively.
