The Flying Rook is the sort of place wizards build to show off. Anyone with the power to keep this architectural Frankenstein standing is no joke, but-- just in case anyone wasn't fully convinced-- they made it fly as well.

Here's a sketch of the 13-story tower I've been working on. I wasn't originally planning to draw something completely insane here, but then I came up with this design and now I am. Anyway, what do you think?
Also, just a heads-up: this map and the next map are both going to have windmills. Things are going to get pretty...

Hey look, I drew a reasonable-sized map! 34x55! I knew I could do it! Don't get used to it, though, the next two maps I'm drawing are a 13-floor tower and this.

Gambler's Key is a pirate lord's fortress with a casino in the front and a loading bay for pirates to drop off their plundered cargo in the rear.

This is the finished first level. I've been giving this map some extra love, but the rest is almost done too. I've gotta finish up a few more details, draw a sideview, and write the DM notes, but I should have it all done in about two days. Also, I hope you like that water, because that is probably the best-looking water I've...
