The Ruins of Kelmarane and a Question

[Soulkeeper]

First, does anyone have a map of The Ruins of Kelmarane without building indicators? We play tonight and I may be able to Photoshop them out, but I'm not positive on my time.

Second, as I read the whole 6 days exploring section, I'm not 100% sure, are the PCs suppose to go into Kelmarane? The 6 day "guide" doesn't really give the impression the PCs are exploring anything, more just watching and wandering the outskirts.

I am assuming they are, and that each daytime, they hit the outer buildings looking for clues and thus, encounters.

Or, if I am wrong, then all this takes place when they try to move into the ruins and get to the Battle Market.

Any help is appreciated!

Sorry, can't help you here.

That's up to them. The timeline is for what happens if the PCs don't well, do things to change it. If they enter the town they'll encounter things, and be able to whittle away opposition, if they don't they'll wind up having to fight their way to the Battle Market all at once.

They may wel circumvent the whole process in one way or another. I think my PCs managed to head for the Battle Market on the second or third day, having experienced precious few of the events on the timeline.

OK, so basically its a free for all, and if they doddle about, this is what happens around them. I just wasn't sure if the PCs were suppose to be going in or not.

Thanks!

Basically, yeah.

If you have the PDF, you can use a PDF component ripper (I don't remember what I used) to get a blank map without numbers or symbols. There are a couple that a freeware for windows.

I'll look for a PDF ripper, that would be fantastic.

Thanks!

You might not need any additional programs. Most PDF readers (including Acrobat reader) should let you copy a map image without any additional layers. Try to r-click the map (rather than highlighting a portion of the page), copy, and paste into Gimp, Photoshop, Paint or whatever you use.

Did you make a map of the ruins without indicators?

I would love to get my fingers in it.
