Disgusting Dungeon: Hellwasp Nest
With the fiery background and the trademark chains, some of you will already recognize its use for a hell-based module of your choice. You’re getting a complete vertical dungeon you can run as one continuous crawl with a massive boss fight waiting at the end, where the party will be uncomfortable at any step!
The sky over the First Layer of Hell bleeds a constant, hazy crimson, but hee, the air vibrates with something far more predatory than a typical devil's ambition.
Make your way from the chained ground approach in a hellish landscape all the way up through four interior layers to the Queen’s lair, and possibly out to the rooftop finale.

Let's take a detailed look at each map and talk about what makes each of them a great fit for your adventures, even beyond the official Adventure.
Map 1 & 2: The Ascent
The journey begins at the Chain Anchor and the organic flesh-balcony. These maps represent the "High Altitude" exterior where players must navigate the narrow paths connecting the infernal wasteland to the hive.
The Chain
The Balcony
The whole structure providing a sense of scale and you can use these for an aerial chase to rescue an abducted ally or as a tense approach where hellwasps harass the party as they ascend.
Map 3, 4 & 5: The Inner Hive
These maps represent the three fleshed out internal levels of the nest, shifting the biome from the infernal aesthetic of the outside towards the nightmarish bio-horror look within.
This does not restrict hive to just the depicted areas, you can use handouts or sceneries as depictions of other levels or make use of other releases like the Ankheg Nest to expand the nest while staying true to the visual style.
Level 1
Level 2
You can turn the different organical hazards into a variety of skill challenges - failing to avoid, defuse or navigate pulsating flesh growths or bursting bile-sacks might trigger defense mechanisms like traps or encounters, guardian creatures are alerted.
Level 3
This area is perfect for a tense stealth sequence where the players need to avoid clusters of larva or wailing victims that could alert the hive creatures to their presence!
Map 6 & 7: Brood Chamber (Level 4) & Nest Top
The final showdown commences at the hive's peak or within the Queen's Lair.
The Brood Chamber
Nest Top
The top can be used as the grand finale of the dungeon crawl, as you can see in the video, we even included a an animation of the Hellwasp Queen that you can trigger within Foundry, having her emerge from below and crawl up to the top! Its a really special way to connect the two areas.
Beneos Tokens
Hellwasp Queen, a true girlboss
This is the Hellwasp Queen! She is ready to rip into your players, but without the questionable 'save-or-suck' mechanics that often go along with the poison-paralyze-pipeline of the regular Hellwasp - you can check out our video on the hellwasp queen to see how we approached her design!
BENEOS CLOUD
We have so many battle maps, intros, magic items, tokens, and custom spells that we have our own search engine. It is integrated into the Beneos module for Foundry VTT, but can also be used free of charge online to see everything we have.
We have dozens of free tokens, spells and items to try out! Just make your cloud account and connect it within Foundry using the Beneos Module!
If you want to keep the Beneos high going between map releases, consider supporting Beneos Tokens, Spells & Loot! There's a new creature every week, often with a direct connection to the last or the next map release!
Like the maps, they are optimized for FoundryVTT and are an essential part of our design philosophy.
New Loot: Rain Dancer, Sufferer's Skull, Graveplate Armor & Carnyx of Sacred Slaughter
