SHADOWS OF MADNESS - 5e mini adventure for 4-5 characters of levels 6-7

Many years ago, Tibor, a wizard with an overwhelming desire for knowledge about the Plane of Shadow, locked himself away in a tower to pursue his studies. Shortly thereafter, his tower was consumed in a dark explosion, the mage assumed dead. Where the tower once stood, the characters discover a hidden stairway leading below.

Tibor was driven to madness by an unbridled desire for questionable knowledge, and a yearning for the imagined accompanying power that only delving into the Plane of Shadow conjures. Like many before him found, the psychological warping produced by such study manifested as incoherent gibbering mouthers. Tibor generally ignores the aberrations, believing them to be his failed experiments and inaccurate ideas made whole. But on occasions he talks frankly with them, believing they give him insight into matters he could never have guessed on his own.

As for the explosion; it was not real, but a superb shadow image of one. It was debatably Tibor’s greatest work. However unreal, it was enough to cause some damage to the tower and have people believe the worst. Since then, Tibor has lived with creatures whose stupidity is legendary: ogres.

For this map, I did stone tiles because it gives a really good feeling, but I also did a gridless version, to be able to add your custom grid, like in the last map pack. And I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?

I very much like this little adventure, so I encourage you to play it or embed it in your current campaign!
