Trial of the Earth Dragon

Atop the mountain along a steep climbing staircase upon the mountain's ridge is the path way to the Trial of the Earth dragon. To complete it the Temple must be entered, but as the heroes approach the earth tears open and Boulders rain down from the peak tumbling and shattering stone all around them!

This map is part 4 part adventure, Four phased maps all based around a single city map! The Dragon's Tower.
I generally don’t try and put lore into my maps to allow DMs using them to draw their own inspiration. But this time I wanted to play with the idea of offering something more than just a map- but a whole scenario the maps might belong to. By no means is this a requirement if you use these maps, I’d be thrilled to hear about other ideas for these encounters or other ways you’d use them. But I hope the idea of a dragon city humans must prove themselves to enter is a compelling one to you as it was to me!
