Thanks for the top down map fix, I'll go ahead and use that!

Yes dyauger, you are right. I looked back at the original map I submitted for this adventure and its scale was 1 square = 10 feet. The published map says 1 square = 5 feet. But it appears that certain areas were stretched, others were not, and some just seem off. In general, you should go by the text, not the map. To correct the published map, this is ugly, but here's my suggestions for each area:

Top-down view:
The map's scale should be 1 square = 10'. This should match the text for all areas with the exception of Area 9 whose scale should infact be 1 square = 5'.

Side view:
Given the 1 square = 5' scale, Areas 2, 3, 4a-d, 7 - 12 are correct. For areas 1, 4e, 5, and 6, you should go by the text rather than the map.

I have my original map which I'd be happy to share via email (if that's ok with James). It matches the published text.

I'm reading through the adventure a second time now and have a question regarding the accuracy of the map for anyone that's run/read the adventure. This might be a vague spoiler ....

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
