The Yeti Lair Battle Map
Added 2020-04-21 11:33:45 +0000 UTCA yeti lair deep in the bowels of a frozen mountain. To raise their young, yetis of this land will line the walls of their cave nest with their shed fur, and the excrement they use as mortar is a potent deterrent to intruders...
My latest cave battle map is based on an encounter I built for my players where, being faced with a mountain range and blocked by winter snows, their only way forward was through an abandoned mining tunnel. Unfortunately, this tunnel had been claimed by a troop of yeti, and their journey soon got hairy.
The mud-slinging brutes blended in with the furry walls and awoke as the party passed by, and much violence ensued.
This map depicts the snowy opening to the cave somewhere of an icy cliff. Inside, the tunnels worm and open up a few flanking routes, then dip down into the furry nest. A few offshoot tunnels act as opportune beds for irritated yeti and, should the party survive, they can continue on left and off to their goals.
As you can see, the map variants also include desert, forest, and lava flavors of cave. What, if not yeti, do you imagine living here? Leave a comment and let us know!

Best of luck to you Hayvi! I'm glad I could help in my own small way, but major kudos to you for picking up the DM's mantle. :)

2020-04-21 21:40:56 +0000 UTCThis is PERFECT. I have a thing for yetis. We've got plushies all over the house. ha The biggest reason this makes me happy, though is that I teach a map illustration class to K-12 students four days a week (40 new students each week). Drawing snow is the number one question I get. Thank you for posting this, I can't wait to show my kids today! WOOT
