[FREE] Gareth's Rescue - Divinity Original Sin 2

We have come a long way since starting this Divinity mapping journey and now we are getting close to finishing act 1 of the game.

In this part of the game we are looking for a man named Gareth to potentially help us escape the prison island of Fort Joy.  You find him in the back of a destroyed and overgrown structure fighting off a group of Magisters beginning your rescue mission.

Patron Preview - Gareth's Rescue (DOS2)

Bound to Bicker Preview:  The party stumbles upon decaying ruins of grey stone in the middle of the bramble-choked wilderness. Or perhaps they stand in front of an imposing mausoleum in the city graveyard. Where exactly this small tomb is located is up to the DM — what is clear in any case are the sounds of argument and physical confrontation. The party hears the commotion before they see it; indignant yelling followed by the sounds of stone crashing into stone. The tw...

Meteorite Landing - Variant

Here is the variant for the "Gareth's Rescue" map from the game Divinity Original Sin 2!

I have been wanting to do a map with a meteorite landing for a while and this felt like the perfect place to do it.  The layout of this map is like a perfect little bowling alley for celestial objects.

Thanks again for your support!

Guard House - Preview

Wyvern Roost Preview: An abandoned guard post stands just off the main road, clearly having fallen into neglect. A courtyard connects to a three-storey stone tower that has begun to crumble in places, and thick moss claims most of its façade. The door has been damaged and hangs open on its hinges. The party may stumble upon this guard post coincidentally during travel, or perhaps local officials have hired them to clear it of any threats so they may conduct repairs and re-st...

Overgrown Guard House

This guard house has stood unclaimed by civilization long enough for grass and foliage to take over.

Maybe your players stumble upon it in the forest when they are looking for a place to rest or maybe a lord needs to reclaim this guard post in order to expand their forestry operations safely.

Thanks for your support!

Guard House - Variant

For the variant we cleaned this bad boy up and got it in working condition.

Thanks again for your support!

City Park - Preview

The Bottomless Fountain Preview:  It took a few days for anyone in town to notice that the coins thrown into the fountain were disappearing. Every day, more coins would be thrown, and every morning afterward, those coins would be gone. Sightings of a person dressed in ragged robes lingering by the fountain in the wee hours of the night became common, so a guard was posted to keep watch and put an end to the mischief. The unfortunate guard got a nasty surprise when he con...

City Park

Families sit on the lawn and at tables having a picnic.  Couples walk slowly down the walkway trying to steal as much time as they can.  Kids toss what copper they have into the fountain trying to cast a wish.  With all this beauty and peace what could go wrong? (Many things 😊)

Maybe the person you came to meet is suddenly looks a lot more nervous than the first time you met him.  Maybe the fountain has become a portal to the elemental plain of water and creatures...

City Park Pristine - Variant

The variant this time around we see the park in Pristine condition including a landscaper who went above and beyond to cut the lawns in a pattern, the real hero of this story.

A small little extra variant also has the trees and flowers in a different colour scheme!

(Free) The Monastery of the Fire Baron (Dungeon OneShot)

The Monastery of the Fire Baron is a compact dungeon oneshot for 5th to 8th level characters. An independent fire baron has abandoned his clan and founded his own monastic order upon his discovery of a planar portal. With the help of devout followers and nearby azer smiths, the fire baron has built a monastery on the face of a volcano in the hopes that he can nurture the portal and let forth fire and fury upon the lands below. 

Cyclops Cave - Preview

Child Cyclops:  
An unusually intelligent young cyclops has been having run-ins with human hunters, adventurers,and trade caravans along the road and in the adjacent hills. There have been numerous sightings of this cyclops, who has been reported to observe travellers from a distance, but fleeing if pursued. The cyclops has not been aggressive,but the local folk know better than to take their chances with such a violent and dangerous species. Players may encounter the...

Cyclops Cave

Besides the Blood Rose Cave, which is much smaller, this might be the first cave map we have done and it was definitely interesting.  This was another map that was at the top of our last poll too!

This cave entrance quickly splits into two paths, one leading to some high ground ledges, the other leading up to the main chamber where a Cyclops has a massive fire pit.  The beast also has crude wooden cages and an area for live stock it has captured.

This map could easily be...

Cyclops Cave - Propless

Some times you just need a massive cave chamber to fill with your own imagination and hopefully this will help!

Maybe your party tries to seek shelter here to get out of a storm only to find the apex predator that calls this place home return in the middle of the night.

Slower Posting with the Holidays

Hey everyone, just a little update.

We have been pretty slow releasing new content with the holidays coming up but  there will be some new stuff coming out shortly!

Moving into the new year everything will get back to normal along with some cool other content we are looking forward to and the next divinity map!

Aqueduct - Preview

Infrastructure Impairment: The village water supply had been quickly dwindling for over a week since the aqueduct from the city ran dry. Suspecting that it may have been damaged, the Townmaster had sent a handful of men to locate the source of disruption and hopefully conduct repair efforts. The Townmaster's suspicions were confirmed: a large section of the aqueduct had crumbled, appearing to have been eaten away. While the militia men may have been able to rebuild the damage...

Aqueduct

The Aqueduct was the highest voted map in our latest poll and I was happy to see it there because it is one I have been wanting to do for a while.

This aqueduct  runs through rocky terrain making maintenance a hazardous task as many dangerous creatures lurk in these parts.

This would be the perfect spot for an ambush with the narrow passages, elevation changes, and foliage covering the land.

We hope you like the map, thanks for your support!

Broken Aqueduct - Variant

There are 100s of reason why an Aqueduct could be destroyed.  A rival nation, bandits, giants, giant bandits, or my person favourite, and earth elemental has been eating it.

No matter the reason, your players now have to travel through more dangerous lands to get to another dangerous encounter, be gentle to them.

Thanks again for your support!

Pick the next maps!

We're trying to plan ahead! Here's a list of 8 maps, the highest voted  maps are the ones we're gonna work on for the next while. Also, if you  have any ideas that aren't listed here, shout em' out and they could be  next up.  

Forgotten Chamber of Heroes - Preview

Tests of Faith Encounter Preview: The party has stumbled into a forgotten shrine that was buried beneath the earth and forgotten millennia ago. The room is lit by everburning flames in three bronze braziers around its perimeter. On blocks of stone stand four 15-foot statues of armed soldiers that silently overlook the vaulted chamber. Each holds a greatsword in an outstretched hand, all angled towards an unseen intersection in the ceiling. The floor is carved with an intricat...

Forgotten Chamber of Heroes

You know when you are just wondering through a cave in the middle of nowhere and you come across a giant 15-foot door? Sometimes they are just real fake doors, because who wants to open a door that leads somewhere, but other times – like now – there happens to be four large statues each offering a vague challenge to complete.

Will your party complete the challenges and earn the rewards, or will they fall once the stone statues decide they have spent enough time sitting on one place?...

Forgotten Chamber of Heroes - Variant

Doing a map that has challenges associated with creepy statues in the middle of earth demands some kind of magical effect.  

This variant can be used when your players complete challenges or if you really want to stick it to them you could have this effect activate every second round in combat while having your players roll DEX saves.  If they fail maybe they take a little damage and burn their feet or maybe they get blasted to high heaven this radiant damage.

Slane the Winter Dragon - Preview and Free Download

Frozen with Grief Preview:   

Years ago, the small pond near the village of Sweethovel was a popular spot for children, quiet reflection, and shared recreational activities. That all ended one day when a mother named Henrietta, distracted by an argument with her husband, was not able to prevent her daughter from tragically drowning. Paralyzed by shame and grief, she told nobody of her daughter's death – the girl's body was left to rest at the bottom of the p...

Slane the Winter Dragon - Divinity Original Sin 2

I hope you put nails in your boots for this one!

In this part of Divinity you find the Winter Dragon, Slane, chained to the dock by two totems placed there by Rakeda the witch.  Choosing to help him can earn you a powerful friend but first you must track down the witch that put him here.  She hides in the Blood Rose Cave, a scary enough place on its own.

 You can al...

Magically Frozen Pond - Variant

The way the terrain is set up in this area of the game made it perfect for a small pond and keep with the theme of a winter dragon, why not make it frozen over.

This map ties into the encounter we released this week were a pond freezes over after the grieving spirit of a mother dies here.  Can the party figure out how to put the spirit to rest or will they be joining her?

 Thanks again for your support!

Sheep Among Jackals Preview:

As the sun begins to set on another day of arduous travel through the woods, the party notices the flickering of firelight in the distance. As they approach, sounds of laughter and revelry can be heard, and the smell of roasting meat is carried pleasantly on the evening breeze. Nestled among long-forgotten stone ruins is a campsite where a group of vagrants have settled temporarily on their journey between villages. They are partying the eve...
