This multi-level battle map features a wealthy 1920s residential interior transitioning into a hub of cosmic horrors. The ground and first floors offer a claustrophobic layout with a sprawling occult library, where heavy wooden bookshelves provide ample heavy cover and narrow aisles create natural chokepoints during combat or panicked escapes. Lighting is dim, relying on flickering gas lamps and the eerie glow of cursed artifacts, heavily contrasting with the shadowy corners perfect for stealthy investigators. Ascending the tight staircases reveals the rooftop observatory, an open-air tactical space dominated by a massive telescope pointed at alien stars. The rooftop offers high ground and line-of-sight advantages for ranged encounters, though its low parapets provide only half-cover against threats attacking from adjacent urban buildings or descending from the sky. VTT users can leverage dynamic lighting to cast dramatic shadows through the telescope and bookshelves, hiding secrets in the dark.
