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

[jpstod]

Searching (DC30) will reveal Secret doors. Opening Them can be difficult through a DC (30) check with an appropriate Skill/Magic or as simple as lighting the Brazier in the room.

Entering the Chamber you find only a Shimmering Purple Archway, Do you pass through it?

[jpstod]

Passing through the Archway you find yourself in a Chamber with a Table and a Suit of Armor behind the table.
On the Table rests a Single Sword and a Sheild, the suit of Armor appears to be a Set of Full Plate. Could these be the Gifts of the Lady of Justice

Evil Charcters Take 50% Damage passing through the Archway.
A Chaotic Evil Character must save vs Death DC (30) to survive touching any of the Artifacts.
Any other Evil Character must save vs paralysis (30) if they Touch any Artifact. Failure results in Paralysis until removed.
A Paladin putting on the Armor will cause it to shine as Bright as Sunlight.

And that My weary friends is the Legend of the Tomb of the 1st High Protector as Known and Told by the Wayward Traveler. How true it is, Who knows. Because like I told you at the Beginning of the Legend, No one has been in the Tomb. Only the Lady of Justice knows for sure..I can't remember how long it has been since we had an Audience and she has sung her songs for me to hear. I must say I do miss her poems she read to me on our Last Visit. Perhaps it is just a dream or She had a purpose filling my head with these images. I do hope to visit one last time with the 15th High Protector before it is to late. I should get a Jug of Mead and go to him to share a cup.

Nice map JP, cool storyline!

Don't forget to use the ### Latest WIP ### in front of your map so it shows up in the Challenge Thumbnails. Hard to get votes without it. If you want your exterior map and tomb map to both show up they have to be merged together into 1 map. Only 1 map will get picked up.

I like how the map is shaping up.

Before, I was asking what system you're using with that DC30. It would be easy to hit with D&D3.5 or Pathfinder, especially with D&D 4e. But a DC30 would be much more difficult for D&D 5e. So I was just wondering what system you were writing your story for.

[xpian]

I agree with Vhey -- a save difficulty of 30 is really high...depending on which system you're using. In 4th Edition D&D that would be EPIC-level, for those god-like characters from level 20 to 30. In 5th Edition DnD, it would be virtually impossible.

In case you didn't know, you can post png & jpg files up to 4.1 MB here

[xpian]

@bogie - I don't know what the exact limit is, but I routinely post files in the 4.5 MB to 4.7 MB range, having found that files bigger than that get rejected. I just go into SAVE FOR WEB and tweak the settings until my file size hits about 4.5 MB.

[jpstod]

I wrote it to be difficult to find...
I have never even looked at 4E nor 5E WOTC Editions.
30 Might be High for Low levels but then again "Legend" says No one has been in the Real Tomb..
It is not on the weekend "Haunted Tours" hosted by the Caretakers..I will Combine the Finished Maps together.
I guess really the Story doesn't need the Mechanics in the Story line but I thought it would help guide the feel I wanted for the Storyline

Nice set of maps JP, it's unfortunate that it isn't larger to see the details.
