HELLCRAWL – Digestive Tract (Patreon)

[This is not the map scheduled for release today according to the Backstage Pass. Turns out that the map I was going to post today has a few major structural issues that need to be addressed before I can release it.]

You know those dungeon or cave entrances that look disturbingly like a mouth? Turns out, this one IS a mouth.

Worse than that, while it is immobile and trapped within the stone, the whole thing is somehow still alive, encased within one of the many stony spires of the hells. A massive mostly empty digestive tract that leads… somewhere else. While the entrance and teeth are obviously stone, the stone floor of the cave gives way to a large fleshy tongue and from then onwards there is no stone, just a layer some weird tough flesh that is about 2 feet thick before giving way to the stone again (with no external dermis of any kind between the flesh and the stone). The passages lead downwards at an angle and a foul acidic miasma creeps up from the massive stomach pit below.

The stomach chamber itself is a huge arching structure with two to eight feet of churning acid within. A few bits of the floor of the stomach are above the level of the acid pool, and the initial portion of the small intestine is sloped back upwards before continuing the inexorable descent into the befouled large intestine and finally the exit into a whole other plane of hell.

This is the last of the five maps that I drew for the HELLCRAWL release. The art call was simple – a digestive tract with a stomach full of acid with the entrance and exit in the… obvious places.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 10,800 x 13,200 pixels (36 x 44 squares). To use this with most VTTs you would need to resize the squares to either 100 pixels (for 5′ squares that make the small intestines unpleasantly tight and disgusting) or 200 pixels (for the 10‘ foot squares that this map was designed with) – so resizing the image to 3,600 x 4,400 or 7,200 x 8,800 pixels, respectively.
