[OC] The Crystalline Lake — a frozen battlemap with a twist (Before/After the monster surfaces)
Map creator
dungeon_hamster1Description
The idea is you run the "Before" version while your party explores and maybe harvests a crystal shard or two — then swap to "After" the moment they push their luck too far and the Frozen Maw's tentacles come up through the fissure.
Comes in Day and Night lighting too, so 4 scenes total, plus grid/gridless and a few stylized variants (anime, comic, woodcut) if you want something different from the standard look.
Foundry/Fantasy Grounds/Roll20 exports with dynamic lighting baked in, plus a DM booklet with side quests and a statblock skeleton for the Maw if you want to build the fight yourself.
