Dwarven Deep Drill Map Pack!
🕑 Added 2023-10-26 13:24:41 +0000 UTCI am happy to present a new vehicle, the Dwarven Deep Drill!
This multi-level wagon has been fitted with a powerful drill capable of tunneling through dense rock. Powered by a combination of dwarven or gnomish machinery and some deep mountain magic, this vehicle is used for traveling between underground locations and, occasionally, to the surface for a variety of purposes.
We have a great illustration of the vehicle itself, by Mondcuow:
We also have an illustrated scene of a burrow site, by Ha Art:

The Deep Drill has [3] main floors:
Main Deck - the main deck contains a piloting chamber with several controls to operate and steer the drill, a cargo hold, small crew quarters featuring [4] hammocks and a common quarters where the crew relaxes, takes their meal and makes plans.
Mid Deck - the mid deck contains an engine room with a trapdoor down to a lower level, small kitchen, additional crew or guest quarters, privy, and the captain's private quarters.
Lower Level - the lower level is a cramped section in the underbelly of the vehicle that both contains components for moving the drill, as well as a slurry for moving loose earth toward the back of the vehicle.
Here's an example of the different levels (attached below):
The vehicle could be used for a variety of purposes:
Rescue Missions - When you have a target trapped deep behind enemy lines, in the depths of a prison or some other inaccessible location, a company of dwarves and a deep drill is just the thing you need to catch them by surprise!
Heists - Vaults are usually protected by all types of defensive measures above ground, but what's stopping people from burrowing through the floor with a gigantic Deep Drill to make a big score? I guess your party could find out!
Travel through the Underdark - "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need...roads." It might not be a flying car, but when you need to get from A to B in the deep places of the world, knowing somebody that owns a Deep Drill can come in pretty handy.
The Pack contains a map with all levels represented, as well as individual PNG transparent tiles, so that you can place the Deep Drill on any map you wish. I've also included a special Burrowed Hole PNG tile that you can drop to indicate where the drill emerged on the map, as well.
I hope you enjoy it and can tell lots of fun stories!
