White Plume Mountain #3

This is my ninth map for the popular 5e mini adventure, "White Plume Mountain" from the book "Tales from the Yawning Portal," published by Wizards of the Coast. I'll publish more encounter maps for this dungeon as I complete them, so stay tuned.

This map shows area #3, "Hidden Slime," except in my version, I decided to use hot lava. After all, this dungeon is inside a volcano. Unlike the hidden slime, the lava is clearly visible when the party approaches, but I think getting across it still presents an interesting challenge. The lava is flowing out from beneath the northwest wall and then vanishing underneath the southeast wall, so even if the players freeze it with a spell, the solidified portion will only hold for a few seconds before more lava flows out and re-melts it. The edges of the lava flow have cooled because of the floodwater, and this cooled rock forms a barrier between the water and the melted lava.

The lava is painted into the background texture, so if you don't want lava, just repaint the background to look like stone (the glow on the cliff walls is just a layer of transparent red stamps that you can delete). The floodwater is another transparent layer of stamps.

This map is 12 x16 inches, so if you want to print it onto 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch paper, you'll have to trim a half inch off the North and South edges.

PRINTING TIPS:

The bitmap image you get when you export a map from Inkarnate will probably not print out at the proper scale if you try to print it from a photo-editing program like Photoshop. You should import it into desktop publishing software like CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, etc. Free desktop publishing software is available, and I assume it would work too. Desktop publishing software allows you to control exactly how large an imported bitmap will print, allowing you to stretch the bitmap without "resampling" it (which can make the image blurry). Obviously, unless you have a large format printer, you'll have to chop the map into halves to make it fit onto two sheets of printer paper. From the desktop publishing software, I like to export my map pages into printer-friendly .pdf files.
