[WIP] Castle Ravenloft 2D Battle Maps REDUX!

[Hervis]

Let me see if I can explain.

If you look at the position of the large staircase that goes all the way from the crypt to the top of the tower (K18 in the original module) as compared to the nearby one that goes from the dungeon upward (K21 in the original), you will notice that on the Larders of Ill Omen (and above) that the smaller staircase's center is in a different relative location to the large one. On the bottom level it is 10' west and 40' south of the larger staircase. On all of the other levels it is 30' west and 10' south.

The long hallway that leads from the brazier room doesn't also line up with the crypt that it comes up to. Here is an image that I hope helps explain it.

The 'too short' one is on the Court of the count, there is a long staircase near the north west corner that takes a turn up into the room with the 10 statues on the Rooms of weeping. This staircase shows that is goes 40' west, turns left, the becomes a half spiral at the end. In order for it to reach the destination shown on Rooms of Weeping it would have to go 50' West before turning to the left.

If you draw the western portion of Map 12 like this then stairwells K21 and K18 are in the right positions all the way up...

The problem in the original isometric maps is that the foot of stair K21 is 40' lower than the foot of stair K18. Because the first flight of stair K21 is only drawn 10' high, it appears to be in the wrong position in the map - but if you were to extend it another 30' up then it would actually appear in its correct location behind area 24.

I hope this helps.
