The Realm of Krampus
Board


I will be doing a holiday themed session with my DnD group before Christmas and thought what a fun idea to have them escape the clutches of Krampus. The map can most definitely be used for anything else, but my plans are to have them explore with sign directing them to the castle ruins. There on a table is a book that will explain what Krampus is and how to escape. I am making him a fey creature instead of infernal, so there is a lot of feywild elements. The second floor of the castle has a door and it is magically sealed by 4 keys, one of fire, one of ice, one of wind, and one of wood. The map has locations for encounters like in the cave under the mountain I will have an ice dragon and in the woods the Green Man, etc. Once they have the keys to unlock the room, a chest is inside and in that is a bell that says Krampus. The book will tell them to ring it in front of the Yule tree in the castle and Krampus will appear. Fight ensues and they can go home.
