I didn't have a lot of time to work on the game yesterday. The boy came down early and I spent much of the day doing housework, taxes, and family things. I did spend a little time with Sam on the couch watching Fellowship of the Ring and got a little inspiration. As they crossed the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, I thought that it would be cool if the mountain tileset had such a stairway. It was also reminiscent of Corwin's assault on Amber, fighting single file up the Stair of Kolvir.

In any case, I whipped up this new tile for the mountain tileset. It's "clipalicious", meaning that there are massive clipping issues for anything on four legs. There are reasons why Bioware doesn't put in any steep slopes. Still, the entire mountain tileset has that issue, so I don't mind too much. I populated it with Gnolls and fought my way up last night, leaving bloody trails as the ones behind the lead grew increasingly nervous as the wild-eyed cleric cut through their ranks.
