I noted the hedge maze only in further, deeper reading of the setting book. What I should have said is, no hedge maze is specified in any of the given events. In any case, I have updated my first post.As far as the list goes, even before   [MENTION=4280]Geo[/MENTION]harpst suggested it, it occurred to me that I might have restructured it by events. The problem here is that there is no guarantee that the players will decide to go any particular route. I will suggest some maps that you bring every week, as they represent some of the most common scenes for action.Specifically Useful Maps:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stage 1 <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Search and Seizure: Danthelon’s Dancing Axe = <a href="http://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/encounters-6-map-6.jpg" target="_blank">Season 6, City Gate/Waterside Warehouse</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Search and Seizure: the Low Lantern tavern = <a href="http://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/encounters-13-map-2.jpg" target="_blank">Season 13, Tavern-Ship/Two-Story House</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tax Rebates: the Basilisk Gate = <a href="http://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/encounters-6-map-6.jpg" target="_blank">Season 6, City Gate/Waterside Warehouse</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tax Rebates: narrow Lower City street = they haven’t really given us any “narrow street” maps in Encounters, but you can use the <a href="http://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/encounters-6-map-1.jpg" target="_blank">Season 6, Intersection/Burning Gate</a> map, just ignore the ruined buildings;
