Description A battlemap that I created for my own D&D Campaign. 


The players have to do an entry test in order to be accepted into the Adventurer's Guild. They must explore 'The Thorny Crypt' and find the hidden treasure.
This Crypt is a mixture of combat, teamwork and riddles.

In the first hall, at the 3 wooden boards, is written in the wall a riddle: "All I need, is just one key. Broken, spread and lost. To find its pieces you must see. And find them at all cost."
If the players succeed on an investigation check, they will also read this in very small letters: "Follow the roses."
The players must find 3 pieces of the key. These are hidden in the Crypt.

1st Puzzle: The 5 wooden statues: The players must touch the statues in the right order. If they do so, a piece of the puzzle will appear.
2nd Puzzle: Room with skeletons: One skeleton is wearing a piece of the key around its neck. The moment they try to touch it, all skeletons will come to life and will start attacking the players.
3rd Puzzle: The Well of endless Darkness: A pitch black well. Even with the light above it, they cannot see through it. Only someone who can see through magical darkness will be able to spot a piece of the key at the bottom of the empty well.

The door to the Main Hall: Once the rose at the big gate feels the presence of the 3 pieces, it'll start glowing up. The 3 pieces will float to the middle, and rosevines start appearing on the metal. They connect and mend the pieces to form a complete key. Once this happens, the door will open.

The Main Hall: In the middle of the Main Hall are 6 great pillars, with a statue in front of them. At the end is a locked chest. These statues may or may not come to life. Their key can open the chest.
