Red Canyon Bandit Camp [40 x 100]
🕑 Added 2021-04-30 18:58:58 +0000 UTCThis battle map began as a response to a random DM on Facebook asking if anybody had a good "Canyon Maze Map" for his party that was going to be escaping the clutches of a group of bandits in the desert. After creating that map (the lower half of the large map), I decided it would be fun to also include an actual bandit camp that linked up with the maze.
The result is [2] maps creating a 40 x 100 battle map that includes the bandit camp to on the north end, and a sprawling, twisty canyon to the south, riddled with caves, plants and the potential dangers of the wild.
The bandit camp is comprised of several small, medium and large tents, with a main gate and a somewhat concealed side entrance overgrown with thornbrush. The leader resides upon the top of a small ridge in the middle of their camp, while protective walls rise high about them. A small lake, fed by an underwater river, provides ample water for their small numbers.
Other areas of note include a kitchen and storage area, guard station near the front gate, holding pens along the west side, a shaman's cave upon the southeastern ridge of the camp and the Great Cave, leading into a cavern that can shelter the entire camp's population in times of dangerous storms or other threats, filled with unexplored, twisting tunnels.
Adventure Hooks
- The bandits have recently captured a merchant caravan and its crew, holding them in the pens while deciding who lives and who dies, and concerned family and/or business partners have hired the party to infiltrate and free them.
- The party, themselves, have been captured by bandits and must seek a way to escape the pens, reclaim their goods and make their escape.
- A particularly valuable item was lifted from a caravan recently by the bandits, and the party has been hired to locate the precious good amongst the camp and return it, with or without bloodshed.
- Rumor has it that the bandits hold something of great value deep within the Great Cave, and the party has been given a map of the tunnels should they be able to find the camp, make their way quietly in and enter the cave system.
Tier Rewards will be sent out shortly!
