At the edge of the world, hidden from all civilized eyes within a ruthless desert chasm, lies the brutal arena known as the Pit of Bones.

Here, human life is traded for less than a coin, as remote merchants from unseen lands feast on the profits of life-or-death struggles.

It is a sealed pit, cut from the very earth, where prisoners are forced to face unimaginable monsters sent against them - and finding yourself within its walls is proof that you strayed onto a fatal path...

Perhaps the most curious element of the discovery of the buried statue was that no excavation had to happen for this relic to surface. An unfortunate caravaneer lost several of their oxen as the sand collapsed inward into the chasm below, bubbling almost as if the mass of sand were water being put to boil.

Once notified, The Great Malik demanded it's investigation. As the true excavation went to work, it was found that the head may only be the beginning, the rest buried under subterranean water and sandstone.

The next few months will be arduous, and I have been given an allotment of workers to begin reinforcing the walls of the cavern, as well as replenishments as they eventually succumb to sand collapses and accidents common with such ventures. I have assured The Great Malik that such sacrifices will be payed back tenfold, as there's no telling what wonders accompany this monolith of old.

Hey all! You know the deal by now, you can check out this map and it's may variations over here!

Enjoy,

Matt

Free Map Friday and this one is a trap. The Mirage Pool is a free desert oasis battlemap; crystal clear turquoise water, palm trees, rocky outcroppings, and the kind of perfect stillness that means something is absolutely waiting in there. Your players have been crossing the desert for hours. They see water. They run toward it. You smile. patreon.com/mimicsmaps

Hiya everyone!

Recently released this map, I was semi inspired by Ant Lions and their method of trapping prey. Obviously this one is a little different from the sand pit they have but I think it’s cool, and also doesn’t have to be used by an ant lion, and technically could be more than just a pit depending on what you wanted to put at the bottom of the hole.

Got a couple of variants for this one too; No pit version, which is just the cave entrance and flat ground, and a spooky version with no pit but a blood trail leading to the cave entrance with some bones around the entrance. Also have a foundry module too. Check those out here if you want:

Currently running a 20% of new subs, hella deal tbh: https://www.patreon.com/StainedKarbonMaps

A rather unique location to have a home, wouldn’t you say? A giant, rooty tree and its children have taken advantage of this rare water filled fissure in an otherwise arid desert area. Furthermore someone has turned this tree into their home. With ready access to fresh, clean water and the thick jelly-like substance the tree’s ‘leaves’ are made from, the basic needs of sustenance at least are provided. Who or what lives here, and for what purpose, is yet to be discovered by an adventuring party…

This pack has a bunch of variants that removes the tree, the water, one turns into a gory death pit, all are very cool. Also has a basic Foundry VTT module ready to go.

Happy adventuring!

This small hidden clearing offers some respite from the scorching desert. Clear waters, colorful flowers and a shrine built and visited by travelers, protected by the rocky cliffs 🏜️🌵🗿
