Love these maps. I'm getting ready to go to book 2 and I notice that the maps are kind of dark. Am I looking at them wrong? or is this intentional?

Thanks again.

I'm not sure what maps you are looking at that seem dark in book 2. In book one, the Roslar's Tomb maps were dark. I have brightened them, and resaved them into the book one folder.

If you have specific map that you think is too dark, let me know and I will adjust the image.

I have also started working on the maps for the last book if people are still looking for maps from the later adventure arc.

A nice fella on reddit redid the maps for the first four books and his dropbox is here

These maps are in a format .webp. That format is new to me. How do I get those into Roll20? Do I convert to another format?

And I looked at one and it was unusably dark. Was I just activating it incorrectly?

Hi. I made the maps on this dropbox. What map do you find that is too dark? I can re-export it.

Also, I use Irfanview for image resize and format change. It's free and does 95% of everything I need to do with downloaded maps before importing them into a VTT. Open the image in Irfanview and then Save > Save as... and select .jpg and the file format.

Paint also works, but the resize tool in Irvanview is much better that Paint.

I started putting together custom maps for the AP.

I have saved them to a shared Dropbox if you would like to have them. They are all WEBP images exported at 150 dpi.

I am currently working on Book 3.

I have finished redrawing the maps for the first two books. Here is a zip file with all maps from 'The Dead Roads' in 256 pixels per inch.

Although the treachery of Rosler is not fully explained, just eluded to that he was loose-lipped with her location and attack plan against the Whispering Tyrant. Did Arazni find out that he was rumored to be contributory to her death, and come back to Rosler's Coffer to desecrate and destroy his tomb, or was it someone else?

I'm remaking the maps for 'The Dead Roads' right now. If anyone else is looking for maps that line up better with 5' squares, and higher resolution, here are the ones I have completed so far.

If this is not the place for resources, I can move and/or delete this post.

Thanks!

I know that I'm reviving a dead thread, but wanted to share what I was doing with Belor.

The "man" that everyone believes is Belor is not Belor. That night that he came across Jervis Stoot he found out that Jervis was dead and a Lamia matriarch had been impersonating him. Seeing an opportunity, the Lamia decided to take over a more high ranking persona in town. Incapacitated Belor and imprisoned him in her magic mirror/shadow plane shard.
The Lamia has a magic item that will allow her to perfectly impersonate (+20 to Disguise checks) him, but the subject must be visible to cast the spell. By keeping Belor alive in her mirror she does not have to keep a corpse around and wasting her Sihedron Medallion for the Gentle Repose on him like she did for Jervis. A quick switch and now she is a Deputy. Shortly after that, she is promoted to Sheriff.
Her two older sisters were given the task of finding greedy people to feed to the Runewell, but she was given a different task. She is part of the army that will attack Sandpoint in book 4 and is looking for the resting place of Karzoug's spy, Xaliasa. She knows that Xaliasa is near, and thought the best way to find him was in the tunnels she found under the island north of the Hellfire Flume. She had excavated much of the tunnels there (I used this for The Chopper side-quest adventure) but could not reach him, and she had all but given up hope of completing her orders. The a group of adventurers found the entrance to the Catacombs of Wrath, and now she has renewed hope.
She is the cause of the cave in by the Garrison as she has been moving huge amounts of earth to dig down, but is not an engineer and didn't brace it well enough.
I am leaving clues around that Belor is not who he says he is. In the adventure path it says that he was changed the day after he found the old Sheriff dead. Yeah, he was changed alright. Anytime someone sees through her disguise she blames it on that dreadful night. Changing his name, the falling out with his brother, the stern personality, even the "love affair" with Kaye Tesarani is an act of changing Belor's public appearance into something that the Lamia can handle better than the old shoanti traits Belor used to have.
Once the players have found her out they must defeat her and then they can destroy the mirror. If they just shatter it, it will kill anyone inside. If they go inside the shadow plane and destroy the "heart" of the plane (ala "The Midnight Mirror" adventure) then the true Belor can be saved.

I created the letter that Tsuto left for his father that set the Sandpoint attack in motion, just in case the players murder Tsuto without questioning him.

The letter goes over why the Glassworks was empty, why a ladder was in the graveyard, and why the North Gate was not locked.
