    Map Jan/Feb 2016 Lite Challenge: Tomb of the 1st High Protector

    Legends tell of the 1st High Protector of the Order of the High Protectors. The High Protectors serve she who seeks justice for the innocents.
    Many Generations ago before the High Protectors, the Lady of Justice sought out the 1st High Protector, to do battle against a Demon from the 5th Hell.
    She Blessed a humble man with Arm and Armor. Her presents to him, A Suit of Platemail shinning with the Brightness of the Sun, A Sheild bearing a Red Dragon's sprit for protection from the Flames of the Demon, and finally a Sword of the sharpest edge ever known to pierce the Demon's Hide. He engaged the Demon at the Well of Life under the tree of Knowledge and was victorious. He returned and formed the Order of the High Protectors...the First Paladins of the Lady of Justice. The ceremonial grounds of the Tombs of the High Protectors are well Kept. A statue of the 1st High Protector stands watch as if looking over the Well of Life under the Tree of Life. Being the First he continues to watch over the Tombs of his successors.

    Legend tells that upon his passing, The Lady of Justice created a special Tomb for the 1st High Protector. Her Gifts lie within, protected until their Needs arise again. Some say that not even the Order knows it's location. Rumors persist that the Order has begun construction of the 15th Tomb of the High Protector. In recent years the Order has begun to weaken. Many people have forgotten the Mission of the High Protectors. Some of those close to the 15th High Protector says his illness is not natural and that there maybe discord amoungst the High Protectors in regards to the succession order. Is there something causing trouble. Will the Order survive? Will a True Successor emerge?

    Map 1 Is Complete...PNG File is too large for here.

    Nice start!

    With regard to the file size, you could try converting your PNG to JPG and upload that. The JPG will probably be smaller, and hopefully any loss in quality would be minimal.

    You enter the Crypt that you belive is that of the 1st High Protector..A White Marble tomb and two unlit brazier are all that are in the Crypt.
    What do you do now? Can this really be where the First Protector is laid to rest?

    After figuring out how to Open the Secret Doors (Dispel Magic, Open Lock, Disable, at DC (30) or by lighting the Braziers) which way do you go?
    Manuvering through the Maze you find a Miniature Fountain of the Fountain in the Ceremonial Grounds. The water appears clear and refreshing and you find behind a wall a Archway shimmering with a pale yellowish hue. Darkness appears past the Arches...What do you do now?

    Stepping through the Shimmer Portal you appear in a Dark room..Two Tapestries hang from Ceiling to Floor on Either side of the Shimmer Archway..
    Evil Characters take 50% Damage (of Current Hit Points) passing through the Portal.

    What will you do Now

    looking Behind one of the Tapestries you find a Shimmering Blue Light, stepping into the Archway you find yourself in a room with two doors.
    Evil Characters passing through the Archway will Suffer 50% Damage Loss of Current Hit Points...Each Door leads to a Chamber with a Crypt and a Stone Statue..Attempting to open the Crypt causes the Stone Golem to come to life...They Fight Until Death...

    If your Lucky to survie or not activate the Golems Do you Search anywhere else?
