Griffon Tower
🕑 Added 2024-11-12 03:25:22 +0000 UTCNot a lot of towers have a landing “bay” for a griffon on a level below the rooftop, so whatever the plans of the original builder might have been, this one is now known as “Griffon Tower”. The structure itself is actually only accessible from the roof or the level 5 landing pad – the elevated entrance on level 2 of the east side of the structure is a fake to confuse attackers. If one lacks the ability to fly or climb in, there is a crane on the tower roof that can be extended out to the roof of the stables so one can climb up to the false entrance and then step over to the crane line from there.
The ground level of the tower (level 1) is used for storage of smaller goods and has an add-on of a wooden stable on the east side. Stairs lead up to the level above and into the dungeons below.
Level 2 is where the soldiery bunk – a few beds, tables, and chairs full the space. The stairs leading up from here are in their own substructure on the southeast side of the tower, pierced with arrow slits the whole way up.
Level 3 is the home of the current master of the tower, the owner of the eponymous griffon, as well as a meeting room where they entertain and discuss plans.
Level 4 is a kitchen and dining hall.
Level 5 is the griffon’s landing area and lair. The beast’s nest is in front of a large window that it will smash through if threatened in order to regain the advantage of the air.
Finally, the rooftop is open except for the stairwell extension which has a tapered wooden roof. An extendable wooden crane is mounted on an extension of the tower roof up here and is used to raise and lower supplies and personnel from the roof of the stables to the top of the tower.
The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,200 x 10,800 pixels (24 x 36 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 1,680 x 2,520 pixels or 3,360 x 5,040 pixels, respectively.
