Another byproduct of our temporarily paused campaign...
This was originally introduced as an abandoned hidden dwarven settlement, with a lot of water features... The entrance was secured by a dual-reservoir system, which required either someone on the inside to switch water between two huge cisterns, Olympic level stamina in holding your breath, or a water-breathing spell... Unfortunately I never mapped those spaces - the second reservoir empties into the "mid level" equipment room, which then descends 10 flights of stairs to a larger, spider-infested and partially collapsed underground chamber.

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
They are indeed pretty maps. What are you making them in?
Thanks guys...
Yeah webs... But unfortunately, they were some sort of wacky hybrid web-spinning and water spider (thanks, GM). So there were still more of them when we discovered the underwater river to the east...
Torstan-
I do most of my work in Photoshop CS. These were both done completely in PS. Occasionally I'll do bits and pieces in Illustrator or Vectorworks (a CAD program) - I especially use Illustrator when I need a Vector-based outline of something (i.e. a landmass) that I might want to zoom into and detail at a later date.
Depending on where and when I'm doing the work (at home, at a cafe, etc), I use either my trackball or my 10x12 palette (which i LURVS, and is also great for doing coastlines, rivers, or any sort of "organic" outline).
