This month's mini-dungeon is my Cultist's Lair which, now that I'm looking at it, looks rather like a night club.

Well, lair or night club, I hope that its rooms provide your players with plenty of intrigue and challenge. There are blood pools, laser-eyes, occult tomes, and an iron prison, not to mention its dangerous denizens!

 My inspiration for this map began with human anatomy. See, that large central chamber originally contained a huge, beating heart (you can still get this in the $2 asset pack) but I changed my mind as more of the world became affected by COVID-19. It didn't seem in good taste to push the human anatomy angle when one of the "lung" rooms is clearly infected by something.

So, whether you revive my original plan of a cult building their god back to life from the inside-out or you come up with something else, I hope you have a great time with it! I'm dying to hear your ideas in the comments – what do those eyes shoot? What lurks in the blood pool? Who is the leader of this strange group?

This one reminds me of the C'thun battle from World of Warcraft btw.

You know, I think a lot of my cult-themed maps are inspired by C'thun and the fel. Love that green fire!

That name sounds appropriate for a nightclub too... “Hey man, what’s up?” “Gettin ready to head to the Cultists' Lair. Wanna join?”

Right? I have a feeling the only ability those eyes have is to strobe.

I don't know what it is about these colours, but they just scream arcane to me. Fantastic map once again!
