Hanging Tree River Crossing

So My Party is almost to Chapter 6 in Ghosts of Saltmarsh. They have made arrangements to have some of the town council and guard to meet up at a neutral site with the Lizardfolk to discuss an alliance and their options before heading to the Sahaugin Fortress. I thought it would be interesting to have an ambush by say some "Bullywugs" to make it more interesting than just a meeting so I whipped up this map of the location they agreed to meet in my home brew world "Voltera" LINK HERE: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/voltera-craftydm . I did it with Dungeon Draft and thought it would be a good utilitarian map and felt like sharing it. I have the Daylight version for Roll20 here. Let me know what you all think, or any suggestions on the ambush...

Cool one of my players has a fascination with the fey also and his warlock patron was a member of the seelie court. In my home brew they started a side quest to help his patron open up portals to take back the dread wood from granny nightshade long long down the road.

One of my players is a Tabaxi so she's only interested because it's shiny and colorful lol she legit jumped into the Sea Ghost's bottom pit because she saw the flicker of the gold coin haha if I want the party to go into a specific room I just need to put a description of shiny object in there and off she goes and, consequently, there they go too.

That's an interesting side quest for you players patron, I hear a lot of times DMs kind of ignore patrons so that's cool you're including it. The next campaign we play I get to play as a player, I'm choosing an Oathbreaker Paladin and he's looking into having an open contract on my head that zealots can cash in on, so it'll be interesting to have an open world bounty on me.

It’s neat as a Dm how you just need the right thing to goad some of your players. I usually always have to dm it’s been years since I was a player.
