The Ruined Temple

Deep in the Delaver Jungle is an old temple dedicated to Regent Azaselse, demon of fecundity and unchecked growth. As the Delaver Jungle grew up around the temple, the congregation slowly declined and moved on – after all, the unchecked growth of the wild jungles were a success, and the strange mutations of the local troglodytes made them more and more dangerous…

The doors to the temple interior are all locked and sealed to keep others out, but the years have not been kind to the rest of the structure. Many of the main worship area’s crystalline windows are shattered, and one of the heavier crystal windows on the east side has been pushed through by a huge carnivorous plant.

The chambers beyond the main worship area are a mess. Years ago the local troglodytes managed to get in via the window where the carnivorous plant is now and dug around much of the building searching for tools and weapons they could use. Breaking the taboos of the church kept only the bravest of the troglodyte warriors away, and even they would not dare to descend the stairs into the lower reaches of the building.

Later explorers climbed in through the broken windows, but could not get through the sealed portals and were unwilling to risk the plant beast. Attempts to break through the secret door using the massive pews as a battering ram proved ineffective and they abandoned their pursuit of treasure.

The area below the temple has been intentionally left blank – a place where any other dungeon can be placed.

The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 9,600 x 9,600 pixels (32 x 32 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to either 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) or 140 pixels (for the recommended 10‘ squares) – so resizing the image to 2,240 x 2,240 pixels or 4,480 x 4,480 pixels, respectively.
