So this morning I got my hands on the Wisbech Castle vaults map, and a map showing what is known about the tunnels under the town centre.
I decided to use the later first to create a dungeon based on it.
I’ve split the tunnels over two levels. They are too long to fit on a single page.
In the source material I’ve turned the area shown into an undead lair. The inspiration for this is from the Jim Murphy video Undead! Monster Mambo 4. I’ll probably run it the way Jim suggests. Which means getting a lot of zombie and skeleton miniatures. Sadly the zombies I have are modern zombies from Zombicide. I need zombies that are suitable for a fantasy setting. I also have just two skeletons. So it’s down to that nigh impossible task of tracking down miniatures at an affordable price. Which I think I’ve managed to do. If my calculations are correct I’ll have about twenty of each. The draw back is they are on sprues. Yep I have to resort to that bit I dislike, cutting and gluing once they arrive.
You will notice on my version of the map I’m producing I have two open pits. Which are connected. The adventurers will be able to descend down them, and at the bottom discover the connecting tunnel.
The reason I’m adding stuff like this is to make it interesting and dangerous for the adventurers “curious” enough to venture down. Otherwise I’m left with long straight corridors. So I think a little artistic license is justified.
