Welcome to Blueprints Backdrops!

This new set of products is based on Øone’s popular Blueprints . In Blueprints Backdrops , you

will ind a fully developed version of one of the locations from the Blueprints line. The Backdrop

features a complete description of the location, and its NPCs and monsters (if any), penned by one of

our talented writers, and portrayed by skillful artists. You also get a simpler version of the map found

in Blueprints and a complete detailed 3D map of the location. The 3D view will help you to visual-

ize the area and better describe it to your players. You can even show it to them, if you wish.

The product is suitable for use with any fantasy RPG system. We have separated the d20 stats from the

main text, allowing you to print out either a generic description or a fully d20-statted version.

But the good stuff is just beginning.

This product takes full advantage of PDF technology, joining old-fashioned style with the most ad-

vanced electronic features. In order to use this product you must use Adobe Acrobat 6 or later.

Using the exclusive “ Rule the Dungeon © ” feature (look for a big, blue-n-white button – don’t worry,

it won’t print) you will be able to fully customize this product. The 3D map can be changed to show

only one loor (for example), with or without walls (for another), with or without furniture, only an

external view, and on and on, with many combinations possible!

This product has also been designed to help busy referees prepare adventures – or even single en-

counters. Instead of spending extra time scaling the encounters to your party, the d20 stats are scaled

in three different versions suitable for low, mid, and high levels of play, using a “ Rule the Dungeon © ”

button.

This button lets you choose which level to play, and all the relevant text will change accordingly:

monsters will scale, DCs and traps will change, behaviors of the villains will change, all according to

the level of play you choose.

T he G olden e el

Located on a prime spot facing the

harbor prominently rests the Dock

Ward’s most celebrated and most

expensive inn, The Golden Eel. Golden

Eel caters to the pleasure of the port’s

wealthier clientele, particularly traveling

merchants and rich nobles who come

to sample its exquisite cuisine. It is also

a favored spot of higher-ups within the

local navy, who often rent its private

conference room to discuss strategies

over a ine cooked meal and imported

brandy.

At the far end of the room is a long

counter top of veneered with a heav-

ily burled wood. Behind it stands a

fair-haired woman in her early thirties.

She wears a long burgundy-hued cotton

dress and bodice and a white blouse.

On top of the desk rests a small silver

bell, a leather-bound writing book,

and a quill and ink set. As you enter,

she looks up and asks in a polite voice,

“May I help you?”

Late night, the front desk is run by

an ex-con brute named Admir. He

conducts business at the front counter,

though he still requests a room deposit.

There is no bellhop after 10 pm

The richly-woven foyer carpet has

been enchanted. Upon command, it

animates and attempts to smother tar-

gets, as designated by Marcoso or the

desk clerk. It acts likewise if a patron

suddenly bears arms and threatens or

charges aggressively towards the desk

clerk. The carpet’s statistics are listed in

the NPC sidebar.

Note: Object statistics are listed in the

statistics section.

Mira runs the front desk for the

in during the day and early evening.

Mira invites guests into the check in

room located behind and to the left the

counter. Here she sits behind a large

chestnut desk. Clients sit opposite of

her while she takes their deposits and

gives them a room key. During this

time, she also summons a bellhop, her

13-year-old son Edram to take their

belongings upstairs.

To the left of the counter is a small

private room with an oak check-in desk

and some chairs. Within the desk is a

locked panel containing 36 sets of keys,

three sets for each room. Both Mira

and Marcoso possess a key to open

the panel. Customers receive one key

with the room; a second key can be

requested for an additional fee of 5 sp.

The desk keeps a third key in case of

For several generations now, the

inn has been owned and operated

by the Kval family. Immigrants from

a neighboring land, they bought the

establishment from the local navy and

converted it from rundown barracks

into a glorious inn. The current owner

is Marcoso Kval .

Gf 1. Grand Foyer

Note: The description below assumes

PCs have entered the inn during the day

on Mira’s shift. Light night, the desk is

run by Admir

Two massive oak doors swing inward

opening to a spacious and lavishly

decorated foyer. The walls are strik-

ing, deep lacquered wood paneling

set in inely carved frames offset by a

rich-hued ebon-wood loor, decadently

covered with a large, rich-hued carpet.

Wide open arches to the left and right

lead to other areas of the inn. There

are no windows in this room, however

it is brightly lit by a massive overhead

chandelier, hanging down from the high,

15ft ceilings.

Kitchen hours run from one hour

before noon, until ive hours past

sunset. The dining room remains open

a few hours after the service closes, but

offers nothing but drinks during this

time. The NPC description section con-

tains a sidebar of possible patrons.

There is no menu at the Inn, instead

Chef Panobla prepares four dishes for

the afternoon and six for the evening,

based on whatever strikes his fancy

during the day, Afternoon is a two

course meal, while dinner is a full four

courses. Food here is extremely pricey,

but extraordinarily good. Regardless of

the fare, all ingredients are incredibly

fresh and the spices and seasonings are

exquisitely rare.

emergencies. The establishment charges

a fee of 50gp to replace lost keys (cit-

ing client safety, they claim the cost is

needed to replace the locks.)

The north and south walls each share

a pair of large, intricately patterned,

stained-glass windows that lo ok as

monastery. Their heavy glass panes

allow lit t le light t o p a ss through them,

safeguarding the privacy of dining

patrons. Instead, light com es from the

aquari um and the small, tastefully

o rnate brass candelabras centerpieces at

each table. A large swinging door to the

west leads to the kitchen.

Examples include the following:

Raw deep crab legs cold marinated

in hand-pressed limejuice and spicy sea

peppers.

Thrice backed tojanida stew over a

bed of fresh seaweed greens and sprin-

kled with fresh sea cat’s milk cheese.

Baby octopus in aspic and drenched

with octopi eggs.

Black pepper crusted, grilled walrus

steaks braised with oyster sauce.

Flambé urchin stuffed with orange fey

berries and set with honey-glazed lotus

petal-wrapped shrimp.

Whole cracked chuul claw boiled in

a broth of clams, onions, saffron, and

clover mead.

GF2. Formal Dining Area

The dining area is relatively small

and pri v at e , with on ly ten t ables. Sti l l,

its lavis h d é cor is o v e rwhelm in g. Th e

loors and lower half of the walls are set

with terra cotta tiles inlaid with blue-

green gl ass mosaic. T he up per walls an d

ceiling are white washed stucco framed

by thick chestnut timbers. The center-

piece of the room is a dais that supports

a massive glass tube aquarium sur-

rounded by four white marble pillars.

The pillar is some how light from inside,

illuminating a life-size copper-oxidized

statue of a mermaid and two-dozen live

baby golden eels. The room is inished

with brass ixtures, velvet and chintz

upholstered furniture, and blood-red

gossamer tablecloths.

Available upon reservation only,

the formal dining room only accom-

modates forty people, and then only if

seated in groups of four. Serviced by

four attractive servers (two females and

two males).

Though there are a few exceptions

made to regular patrons, guests of the

inn generally have priority over walk-

ins. Regardless, only those with proper

attire (a noble’s outit) are permitted

into the dining room.

Afternoon meals cost 50 gp each in-

cluding coffee, while evening meals cost

100gp each including coffee. Drinks

are extra and Panobla only serves the

inest wines and brandies (between 100

to 1000gp a bottle). For this reason,

lower level characters will most likely

require a patron to pay for their meals.

The DM can easily accommodate this

a bonus to a reward for prior services

well done.

T ippinG The S TaFF

The Golden Eel is a high end Inn and as such, its servants expect tips, usually

in the form of silver pieces for adults and coppers for the boys. If the boys aren’t

tipped, Durn in particular, they perform slightly under par. Perhaps not promptly

removing bedpans or more likely not replacing them with clean ones.
