[QUOTE="Dyson Logos, post: 9272792, member: 83678"] [ATTACH type="full"]348115[/ATTACH] [B]Graxworm – Map 1 – Graxworm Gate[/B] The main entrance into the Graxworm megadungeon is not at the base of the mountain, but the top. The Graxworm is a massive dead dragon of mythic scale, fully miles long and large enough to contain a town in the mouth. Creatures have set up here to “mine” the massive corpse for its valuable materials – leather, scales, ichor, tendons, and more. Practically every bit has some value to someone, and in the long term the expectation is that nothing will remain, not even the massive bones. The teeth of the worm are enormous, out of scale with the already massive creature. They serve as a city wall around Graxworm Town with a pair of massive 30-foot-wide gates through which caravans enter and depart the town bearing loads of dragon material for other lands. These gates sit in 30 foot thick walls with murder holes over the gateways and battlements for defenders to operate from. The rest of the curtain walls between the teeth are less imposing than the gates, averaging about 15 feet wide and just relying on the jaw and gums to act as a wall once we get past the front teeth. The map shows the main gates and some of the front-most structures of Graxworm Town in detail, with the upper level of the wall on the far right. Just within the walls we have a number of establishments that cater to the traffic in and out of town. Inns, taverns, equippers, and general stores abound here along with smaller shops selling trinkets and foodstuffs. The town beyond is very much a “gold rush” town – with an emphasis on entertainment, cheap lodgings, and expensive pass-times. A perfect place for an adventuring group to blend in if they can bluff their way through the main gates.
