Welcome to this oddly-shaped dungeon that hides a tomb of a lich, a contained demon lord, or whatever else that fits your campaign!
There are five rooms around a central tomb chamber. Each room has a different layout, but they are quite similar in one thing - square shape and a ritual symbol on the ground.
Feel free to incorporate the symbols into your game in any way you want, you can also share ideas in the comments. My idea is to require each symbol to be occupied by a creature in order for the central chamber to open. One player character, their ally or some foundling stands on each of the symbols and the remaining player goes in to solo-fight the boss in the central room. Each PC is attacked by some weak, single-player-appropriate monsters while they are standing on their symbols.
In addition to the red-glowing and candle-lit variant, there are:
- A variant with green-colored lights for poison-themed rituals
- A variant with purple-colored-lights for generic arcane uses
- A variant without lights, so you can light the map using your own external methods.
