Our jungle temple went so well that I decided to make a trio of such temples in the style of Pokemon starters; grass, fire and water. This is the "water" one, the Ice Temple.
This map begs for some tricky concentration checks on the ice, and perhaps something a little more deadly should anyone attempt to slide and jump the gap! I suggest lobbing some spells or arrows at them from the platform above too, just to hurry them along. ;)
After they make it to the icy platform, their troubles are not over. Besides our theoretical ice-archers, I recommend a brutish snow-golem or another foe with a pushing attack. Wallop your players and have them slide right back down for a smooth ???d6 extra in falling damage!
Besides an array of enemies, the door itself must be opened somehow. Whether this requires an offering at the altar, interactions with the runes, or some other puzzle, I leave that to you. Do let us know your suggestion in the comments!
Big thanks to everyone who participated in the drawing stream and helped nurture these ideas. I look forward to continuing the process in the comments below.
Next up, the fire temple...
