Hey folks! Weekend poll here!

It's been a few months since I released our last collection series for the Harbor Maps Collection and I think we're due for some more! If you're unfamiliar: a "collection" series is a little different than my typical battle map releases. A collection set is 9x larger than my standard battle map (17x22 squares) and built primarily with existing assets around a specific theme or prompt. The intent is that the resulting set can either be used as a singular,  massive encounter-scale scene, pilfered for its 9 individual locations,  or stitched along rows, columns, or any other combination of maps as you  see fit.

So with that in mind, please vote between the options below!

How about combine the most popular options? An abandoned underground Castle ruins in the Underdark, some if it carved from the actual terrain of a massive cavern, with a Crypt level? The crypt wouldn't have to span all 9 maps, nor would the upper level(s) of the castle. Since the caste is mostly in ruins, most of it has collapsed to a single level. But, there may be part of the inner Keep standing (1-2 upper level maps), as well as perhaps one tower has a second level intact (+1 upper level map), and a second tower has the second and part of it's third level(+ 1-2 more maps). So that's 3-5 more maps. Then the crypt would fill 2x2 (+4 more maps), with a secret level beneath that (+1 map). So technically 18 maps. ;-) Take twice as long to do it. Part 1 is the 9 maps making up the castle "ground" level. Part 2 is 4-5 maps making up the upper floors of the castle, and 4-5 maps making up the lower floors of the crypt. But it all has that Underdark vibe: Faerzress. Fungi. Dark. Damp. Dreary. I honestly haven't seen anything like that from anybody.

Sounds a lot like House Baenre in Menzoberranzan (wow spelled correctly first try)!
