So the party’s going all the way down this rabbit hole, huh? Whether they descend through the cellar or the well, the Hag is waiting. And she’s hungry for visitors.

MAP DESCRIPTION
Hag Den Dungeon may not be vast, but it’s packed with rooms, secrets, and eerie details waiting to be uncovered.
The Cellar
Descending through the trapdoor found inside Swamp Hag’s Hut, you arrive in a damp, cluttered cellar filled with debris, mold, and forgotten junk.
Looking around, you notice a roughly concealed passageway carved into the wall.
The Den
Crossing it, the air grows heavier and the sound changes: you are now beneath the ground, inside a natural cave.
The scent of wet stone mixes with acrid fumes rising from a large cauldron, where something unspeakable bubbles and hisses.
The flickering candlelight reveals a grotesque mix between a prison and an alchemist’s lab. Books and strange ingredients cover the tables and shelves, while three alcoves carved into the rock have been turned into cells. The straw, the scraps of food, and the heavy chains leave little doubt about their purpose.
Near the entrance, a faint mark in the wall betrays a hidden doorway leading to another room.
The Ritual Chamber
This small chamber is lit by countless candles, casting a sickly red glow across the rough stone.
At its center lies a flat slab of rock, still stained with blood, facing an altar adorned with unsettling relics and twisted offerings.
Whatever entity receives this devotion, it’s clearly nothing benevolent.
On the far side, two tall and narrow iron cages hang from the ceiling, rusted and silent… waiting for their next guests.
Beyond the Den
Past the main chamber, the tunnel splits into three paths:
• The Well: Connected to the well outside Swamp Hag’s Hut, serving as a secondary access point.
• The Storage Room: A cluttered area filled with tools, relics, and the belongings of the Hag’s unfortunate victims.
• The Cave Exit: A ruined, half collapsed passage leading deeper into the swamp. Something seems buried in one corner… but what?
This small dungeon hides more surprises than it seems. The question is: can your party explore it without ending up in one of those cages?
NOTES
Map style & tactics: Hag Den Dungeon is compact but rich in environmental storytelling, secret passages, and tactical opportunities. Smart positioning and clever use of each room will make the difference between survival and a grim fate.
Books, Ingredients & Equipment: Every table, shelf, and corner can hold a small reward — a healing potion, rare ingredients, a trinket imbued with minor magic. Scatter them wisely to reward curious minds.
Traps: Taking what belongs to a Hag is never wise. Remind your players of that with a few cursed books, explosive potions… or perhaps a mimic disguised as a dusty tome.
The Well: Beyond being an alternate entrance or escape route, the well might hide something deep in its murky waters.
Prisoners: Three cages, three cells… plenty of space for unlucky captives. But can the party save them all? And more importantly… should they?
Multiple Entrances: The three possible access points (the Cellar, the Well, and the Cave) allow for entirely different tactical approaches and story setups. Choose wisely how your adventurers enter, it may decide who leaves.
Welcome Back, Fellow Darkish!
We’re continuing our small swamp series this week, venturing beneath Swamp Hag’s Hut to explore the Hag Den Dungeon!
As you can see, the map features three possible entrances, though for now, we only know where two of them lead. That means our exploration of this area isn’t over yet… and who knows if everyone who enters will live to tell the tale.
That will depend on how cruel you decide to make the lady of the house, hehehe.
We can’t wait to see how you’ll use this map; let us know your ideas, or simply tell us what you think, down in the comments!
We wish you great adventures and NAT20s, dear Fellow Darkish!
