Help with battle maps and distance! New DM!

[Gunner-Recall]

Hello all,

I am running The Haunting of Harrowstone, and my players are about to go into Harrowstone. I am a newer DM. My question is:

Harrowstone's map for the PCs to explore is drawn where each square ='s 10 feet. What happens when a PC gets into a battle inside Harrowstone? What happens to 5 foot shifts, and other movements within combat? What is an experienced suggestion on how to run battles in a situation like this?

If the scale of the printed map is 1sq = 10 feet that means when you draw it on your map, you draw it bigger. If something is 10 squares long in the printed map, make it 20 squares long when you put it on the battle map.

Hmmmm

If I understand your problem, you are thinking that the map on the book is meant to be used as-is as a battle map. It isn't. They use a different scale to save printing space. Cut each square into 4 smaller ones and play that way.
