As mentioned last week, Bosukumo’s lair consists of four levels connected via strong teleportational magic. This magic is subtle because it is blended into the very structure of the interconnecting passageways that run between the levels.

Whenever the players’ characters enter a level, roll 4d10 to determine what passages lead away from each of the outer archways. Orient the passages so that they best connect each archway. Roll 1d4 to determine to which level each passage leads. A second 1d4 determines to which outer archway the passage connects.

1 = Entry Level
2 = Eight-Pointed Star Level
3 = Halls and Rooms Level
4 = Water Pit Level

1 = North
2 = East
3 = South
4 = West

Don’t worry about repeats or strange results. For example, it is possible that the northern outer archway leading away from the Water Pit Level leads to the norther outer archway of the Water Pit Level.

Well, it’s been a bit since I’ve posted anything here. So, let’s see if some structure can help. On Mondays, I’ll post a map. On Wednesday, I’ll post about what can be found in the areas mapped. On Friday, I’ll post a monster. That might work.

Today, I present four artisanal dungeon geomorphs. Each geomorph has been loving crafted by hand, drawn first with a freshly sharpened Dixon Ticonderoga soft HB 2 pencil and then carefully inked with both a black TUL Fine Liner and a black Paper Mate Flair M felt tip pen. The final step involved using an eraser to remove stray pencil lines while at the same time avoiding as much as possible smearing the ink. I’ve used this method to produce maps for nigh on four-and-a-half decades. The results speak for themselves.

N.B. One square equals 10 feet.
