Hi folks, Start of Part 2 - Through the Demon's Mouth'.
Quick rundown of scenario:
The adventure revolves around a subterranean temple carved into a high cliff overlooking a dead lake. Inside the temple are four portals……
I am using this adventure to explore the PCs backgrounds. They have all come up with detailed backgrounds to their characters. In Part 1 I explored the Paladin, who is an orphan, & at the end of the adventure he learned that his mentor served his father & that he is probably the last of his order. He is also being hunted……..
In this adventure, the elf wizard, adopted & always second to his half brother, has to confront the betrayer, the elf ranger, a wanderer with no people, finds there may be a place called home and the dwarf fighter, exiled for murder, has to make a choice………
The maps will be:
The Shrine of Demogorgon
Worlds End & Tower of the Hand
Deserts of The Howling & the Obsidian
Snowed capped mountain of Danegar
A wine cellar in the village of Jackal Claw
This is going to be quite ambitious…..but it will be fun….. 
The PCs teleport to a wilderness area high on a cliff overlooking a dead lake. A statue of Cuthbert guards a bridge.....

A womens screams, from across the bridge, startle the PCs. On crossing the screams can still be heard but distant......& then they see the pit......

After defeating a very hungry monstrous spider, the PCs recover a key that opens the great vault door. They peer into the darkness & a pair of glowing eyes look back at them! The PCs use their rope to lower themselves down into the darkness. Here they find a statue depicting Demogorgon, an anvil & 4 inactive portals. On the anvil is a hammer (a portal key) & a shroud with glowing eyes & mouth. Touching the hammer will active the magic within the shroud & summon a few Manes (Lesser demons).....

I really like the pit scene.
I like the St. Cuthbert scene too, but cannot be as generalized as the pit.
Thanks.

Hi Rotten, these are from my current campaign, so there not as generalised. I have made & collected so many maps that I just need to map what's important in my game. I will be doing some that I don't have, such as desert...also I'm in the process of doing some more of my city store maps....

The PCs use one of the active portals to teleport to a dungeon in the Tower of the Hand. Here they find the dead body of the great wizard Azacanaster. Nearby is his squire, who tells the PCs of the betrayal of Azacanaster's apprentice Felzhor. He has made a pact with a dark demon & has killed the great wizard. Unfortunately he has trapped himself in the tower in doing so, as he does not possess the knowledge to activate the portal to get him acrss the chasm that seperates the tower from the rest of the land. The PCs will have to overcome more than Felzhor on their travel up into the tower, but there is only one thing on the PCs wizard's mind....he has a debt to settle......

Very nice. I like the post where you showed how you do this.
Can you tell me if Adobe Photoshop elements is a useful program for creating maps like this or tokens?
My wife bought it to work with photographs, but I have access to it. Wondering what I can do with it?
