November 2016 Challenge: Shrine of the Tangaros

[Greg]

Well, I've not really tried my hand at doing any proper battlemaps really (I've dabbled at pseudo ones before), so I thought it best to come up with something for this challenge to get me in some practice.

I've struggled for time in the last couple of challenges I've done for various reasons, but this time I have a plan. Essentially, if I seriously am short on time, I'll crack out something simple and black and white, or block colour. If I have a bit more, then the details can start to get more complex both in terms of walls and the furnishing throughout. Then, if I have even more time, I'll get super detailed on the colouring and shading side of things. There are other bits and piece I may experiment with along the way too.

Well...that's the plan anyway, not that I ever seem to stick to them...

I thought about doing a sci-fi space ship (think Nostromo-esque) and also thought about a giant tree, but thought I'd save that for a future map. In the end, I thought rather than overcomplicating things as I usually do, I'd keep it straightforward with a classic dungeon, the Shrine of the Tangaros.

My rolls were as follows: 5, 4, 4, 1, 5, 1, which equals 16 rooms minimum and one with a (distracting illusions) trap. Again, I may add a couple more rooms, but it's all time dependent.

Here's a rough outline of the basic rooms, just to give some idea. Some of these are on varying vertical levels, so I'll play about with how best to display that.
