Map needed: volcano, lava tubes

First Post
I love making adventures but I hate making maps... anyone think of a map I could use along the following lines?

The current adventure is taking place in lava tubes snaking around a volcano. I'll give some more details below for whatever it's worth, but of course the map does not have to match everything; I can adapt it. Basically some kind of cave/tunnel complex, hopefully broken up by areas of active lava (could instead be water or other hazard). The volcano also does not have to be a classic cone-shaped mountain, could be just a hole at the bottom or something like that.

The map would probably have to be online for me to use it, but i'd still be interested in hearing about anything from some other published source.

Anyhow, more details: the adventure is on the Plane of Fire and centers on a gate to the Plane of Ooze. Originally it was a vortex to plain old Plane of Earth which took the form of a volcano; later it was altered to point at the Plane of Ooze. So now mud and ooze come through it which forms a big caldera of molten mud on the Plane of Fire. I'm thinking lava tubes of the original volcano provide access to the gate area and perhaps other interesting places.

Thanks for any help!

You could check out the shackled city AP from Paizo.
One of the adventures, named thirteen cages, in there takes place underneath a volcano with lots of lava. You can find this in the shackled city AP book and dragon magazine 114.

Also, don't forget the fire & brimstone Lava rules!
 


I dunno if you're just looking for a DM map, or battlemaps for minis as well. If its the latter ... you might check out a few of Skeletonkey's more recent releases. They've done a couple of Volcano/Lava style releases.

There are also a couple of WWG product that match, but would require a bit more customization:

Note - you do have to print the tiles out yourself (and in the case of WWG's Hellworks, probably do some assembling). But it gives you a lot of flexibility.
 

Thanks for all the ideas, they are quite helpful!

I did stumble on that virtual lava tube site, it's very cool. Lots of good ideas for interesting features can be found there.
