-1

Use the attached layout image as the reference for this level's structure. Note that the blue in the reference image is rock/ground as this is underground, the black lines are all walls. This is a battlemap of Level −1, an underground level beneath the surface buildings of an alien research outpost on a frozen ice world, for tabletop RPG use. This outpost was built by an ancient, highly advanced, and deeply peaceful alien civilisation, over a hundred thousand years old, whose technology is bio-organic rather than mechanical. Every wall, corridor, and room reads as one smooth, continuous, curved surface, grown rather than built, never a flat panel or a right angle. This underground level is styled more like living bone and cartilage than the pale coral-toned surface above, ribbed, ivory-toned, ossified rather than polished, still organic throughout. Lighting is sparse and uneven, occasional dim points of failing bioluminescent glow scattered against long stretches of near-darkness. The following four rooms are the most important and must match the reference image's shape and position closely: at the centre, a wide circular Root Distribution Chamber, a spacious open walkway junction with only a small, contained cluster of thick root-like conduit gathered around a single descending shaft near one side, this root growth must not spread beyond that one chamber. To its south, a large Research Wing holding old wartime lab equipment. Southwest of that, a small, separately sealed circular Vault chamber containing a single fractured glowing crystal formation. To the east, a long stasis hall split into two halves by a central dividing wall with two tall doors, one half lined with pale green-glowing egg-shaped pods containing still humanoid figures, two pods open and empty, the other half lined with dim teal-glowing pods containing dark formless creatures, three pods open, one dead creature lying at the base of its broken pod. Surrounding these, several smaller rooms and a network of connecting corridors branch outward, old storage rooms, a sealed dark archive, a small hydroponic growing space, and a handful of small circular elevator alcoves linking up to the buildings above. These smaller rooms and elevator alcoves should stay connected by corridors matching the overall network in the reference image, but their exact size and position can be approximated rather than matched precisely. Do not include any text, lettering, numbers, or labels anywhere in the image. Do not include grid lines, UI elements, borders, or watermarks.
