Adventurers fight among glowing green crystals in a cavern

Encounter Board #021 - Crystal Caves

Virtual Tabletop Journey presents a ready-to-play DOOMGEON floor! This map was made possible by VTTJ Patrons.

This floor was designed as a simple 5e CR 1 exploration dungeon crawl. It contains a stairway up, a lava stairway down and a train themed exit.

The DOOMGEON rulebook will be available soon (TM). For an example of DOOMGEON play, you can watch stream highlights at Twitch or YouTube.

Feel free to use it with whatever system you like! If you want to remove the tokens, select them all with the lasso and delete them.

Floor Resources

  • A full 5e encounter page is available at DnDBeyond (a token on the board also contains the link).
  • This encounter chart contains a new homebrew creature, a guardian of the train branch.
    • Creatures: Dwarven Train Engineer
  • An environment block for quickly switching to the default settings.
  • Hide volumes pre-configured.
  • Tokens placed (feel free to move them) at max HP.

Recommendations

  • Set the Fog to Darkness and raise it to cover the area under the board.
