Crabwell 03 - The Bellringer
🕑 Added 2022-02-22 20:18:21 +0000 UTCSomeone's got to do the actual work around here
Welcome back to Crabwell everybody! Today' release wraps us around to the southwestern corner of the ancient city, with its massive bank vaults, peaceful stables, and grand vistas from the Great Belltower. We've still got two more releases this month after this one, so keep your eyes on this space!
Guide
Our borough guide today focuses on the activities of Bellringer Simon Thibald. As the quasi-mayor of Crabwell, Simon has quite a bit of authority to make changes to the city or to potentially hire the adventurers. Simon is the consummate quest giver, so feel free to use him to dispense any and all plot hooks as necessary.
This guide also features some of the first few pieces by our new artists Jesse and Rachel! We'll be featuring a bunch of work from our talented new artists over the next few docs, so please give them a warm welcome!
Maps
Today's map is positioned directly below Crabwell 01. We're doing a bit of zig-zag pattern with this one. Crabwell 04 will slot in directly to the east. This map show off the canal, the public stables (a lovely crutch for adventurers with mounts), and the third corner of the central square. Needless to say, when mayhem strikes the city, you better bet your means of egress are going to get blocked.
Patrons at the Chief Courier tier and higher get access to Simon's office in the belltower, as well as two floors of interiors for the stables.
Music
Our track today is the insanely serene "Upstream," a pastoral tune that evokes the peaceful countryside outside Crabwell. Ye olde plucked and woodwind instruments accompany spacious strings and ethereal choirs. If you need something that is somehow grander and quieter, the (Ambient) variant is a great way to chill out and experience the majesty of the great outdoors without ever leaving your computer!

Ahh. Gotcha. Thank you for clarifying.

We'll release "Crabwell: Definitive Edition" sometime next month with a full a single map for you to use. We've already done fully stitched maps of Meddenfirth, Kadhizi, and Ancora Bay to take away at the hassle. In the meantime... you can stich them together in MS Paint or something, but that may seem a bit lacking until we release Crabwell 04 in a few days.

Love the maps---great work. Have a question. How would you suggest we take these maps that are in quadrants and assemble them into a single map? Just curious if there was a way I am not thinking of that is simpler or something.
