Dungeon of the Week: The Lair of Black Sorrows

To begin my Dungeon of the Week and Encounter of the Week series of posts, I decided to throw together a quick map. (Forgive me, I'm old and I like the old greyscale style maps.) This is a pretty simple dungeon crawl.

Here's the basic map key:
  • D = normal door
  • T = trapped door
  • S = secret door
  • B = bars
  • 1 square = 10 feet
  • top is north
The Lair of Black Sorrows
"The Lair of Black Sorrows" is a 4e GSL encounter site for five characters of 5th level. This encounter site is designed to work well in any location. In particular, this encounter site is designed to fit into an inhabited area, namely the basement of a shop in a busy city. However, it is not necessary to place this site in a city, it works equally well in any established dungeon as an off-shoot for PCs to earn extra experience.

Tomorrow we look at the anatomy of the adventure, how to set it up, what encounters we want to add, and start writing.
